S. E. Rogie (born Sooliman Ernest Rogers in Sierra Leone in 1926; died 4 July 1994) ) was a highlife and palm wine guitarist and singer from Sierra Leone.

Rogie began performing young, while supporting himself as a tailor, and he came to use his nickname "Rogie" as his official surname. In the 1940s, he became a professional musician, singing in four languages, including English, Krio, Mende, and Temne. His hits include "Koneh Pehlawo", "Go Easy with Me" and "My Lovely Elizabeth". He formed a band called The Morningstars in 1965, then travelled in Liberia and the United States. In the US, he performed at elementary and high schools across California, and received awards from the US Congress and Senate, the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, California.

In 1988, after being invited by British disc jockey Andy Kershaw, Rogie moved to England where he bought a home in Finchley, north London. In 1991, he put together a band, The Palm-Wine Tappers, and toured the UK. He died shortly after recording his last album, Dead Men Don't Smoke Marijuana. Read more on Last.fm.
