Bill Haley – Rock Around The Clock
Bill Haley-Shake Rattle And Roll
Γεννήθηκε στις 6/7/1925 στο Μίτσιγκαν. Το 1954υχογράφησε το κλασικό ”Skake ratle and Roll”(στη δισκογραφική εταιρία Decca)του Big JoeTurner γνωρίζοντας την πρώτη του επιτυχία. Το 1955, μαζί φυσικά με τους Comets, υχογραφεί το ”Rock aroud the clock” για τις ανάγκες της ταινίας ”Blackboard Jungle”και γίνεται ο πρώτος Rock n Roll καλλιτέχνης που φτάνει στην κορυφή των charts. Δυστυχώς ποτέ δε μπόρεσε να ξεπεράσει αυτή την επιτυχία αλλά άφησε πίσω του μία τεράστια μουσική κληρονομιά. Το 1972 προκάλεσε παραλήρημα ενθουσιασμού στο Γουέμπλευ ενώ ανάλογη επιτυχία είχαν πολλές συναυλίες του τόσο στην Ευρώπη όσο και στη Νότιο Αφρική. Πέθανε το 1981απο καρδιακή προσβολή.
