Roxy Roller

"Roxy Roller" is a song originally recorded by the glam rock band Sweeney Todd in 1975 with Nick Gilder on vocals.

[1] "Roxy Roller" ranks as the fifth biggest Canadian hit of 1976[2] and won a Juno Award for the band.

However, it faced immediate competition from Sweeney Todd's rush-released re-recorded version on which new singer Clark Perry did lead vocals.

The version with vocals by Clark Perry peaked at #90 (and at #97 in the Cash Box Top 100) in late August 1976.

With four versions of "Roxy Roller" competing for stateside attention, none achieved either a high chart position or great sales, despite the glam rock sound still being popular at the time.
