May 23, 2012 - Bill Haley was rarely given the credit he deserved, its often wrote that rock around the clock only just made the top 20 on its first release and did not become a massive hit until months later when used as the soundtrack to the 1955 film Blackboard Jungle.
Although this statement is true, the experts often miss out "Shake Rattle and Roll" which was released in December 1954 and made no 7 in the us charts and number 4 in the uk charts.
Shake Rattle and Roll was the first Big Hit of the genre
May 19, 2012 - What on earth are you talking about? Bill Haley was one of the first American R&R singers. Before R&R he was a C&W singer called Bill Haley & the Saddlemen. Before you start disrespecting a dead R&R legend, think twice and try to make sense. Websters dictionary: "pimp: a man who solicits clients for prostitutes."
The DVD "The Legends of Rock & Roll"states this clip is from the Ted Steel show WOR-TV, New York (1955).
Apparently, it is from Washington Square, a show hosted by Ray Bolger (1956). More
