I remember Tommy Roe.  He was on our 'Top 40' stations back in the 60s.  He reminded me of Buddy Holly, though you'd have to be even older to remember Buddy Holly.

And I remember the song 'The Folk Singer' also, though it wasn't a big hit here.

I remember both the singer and the song.  I grew up in the 60s.  Folk singer came out in 1963.  I think his biggest song would have been "Dizzy" from about 69.  You might enjoy that if you haven't heard it already.
