2 Comments on “Rock Around The Clock: Bill Haley ＆ His Comets”
There is actually a bit of controversy about this being first. According to Wikipedia: It was not the first rock and roll record, nor was it the first successful record of the genre (Bill Haley had American chart success with “Crazy Man, Crazy” in 1953, and in 1954, “Shake, Rattle and Roll” sung by Big Joe Turner reached No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart). Haley’s recording nevertheless became an anthem for rebellious 1950s youth[6] and is widely considered to be the song that, more than any other, brought rock and roll into mainstream culture around the world.

An oldie but a goody. This is considered the first rock and roll song.
