Bill Haley & His Comets - Rock Around The Clock (1955) HD

Bill Haley & His Comets
was an American Rock&Roll band founded in 1952 that continued playing until Haley's death in 1981. The band was the earliest group of white musicians to bring Rock&Roll to the attention of white America and the rest of the world. From late 1954 to1956, the group placed nine singles into the Top 20 and three more in the Top Ten. Many fans consider them to be as revolutionary in their time as The Beatles or the Rolling Stones were a decade or two later. Bill Haley was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

It makes me nostalgic for a time I never lived in.

The kids today didn't have any idea their great grandparents were this cool. 😎

I don't care what anybody says or how old this masterpiece is; to me this is how rock and roll was born. I absolutely love it. Rest in peace Bill Haley

My husband and I graduated from the same small NC town in 1955 and 1958 so this was one of our favorite dance songs. He and I have been married for 63 years and he has been diagnosed with bile duct cancer with a poor prognosis. My prom song was, "the 12th of never" and we've been listening to that and other songs like, "morning has broken" by Cat Stevens this morning in the hospital and getting emotional. I decided to lighten it up a bit and get in a rock and roll mood!

I was born in 61 wish it would have been 51, rock and roll was just coming from the womb, WORLD RENOWNED HISTORY!!!! SAID ONE MORE TIME: ROCK AND ROLL WILL NEVER DIE!!!! !

This is one of the most important songs in history. Whenever folks heard it they’d dance like never before, it hit the charts several times and many people still love it today

[Obamasanus]

Its crazy how good this song is and how modern it sounds. That guitar solo is amazing and so crunchy and remember this was in the late 50's. Almost all recordings at this time were in mono I believe and electric guitars in those old recordings feel really flat or trebly. But this is pure Rock and Roll here. He and his band influenced everybody.

The most important song ever ! Was released before I was born but changed all music-lovers lives!

[Habs]

In the mid 70's, when i was just a litlle boy, I heard this for the first time. Since then I'm hooked on fast pasting music. This is just a memory.

Fun fact: I am good friends with the grandson of the guitarist in this band. He's a really cool guy, and he has even continued his grandfather's legacy and plays electric guitar himself.

I was 7 years old in 1955 when this movie hit the neighborhood movie theater. I don't think there were any adults at the Saturday afternoon matinee, and it was pandemonium in the theater whenever the music would start on screen, Dancing on the seats, dancing in the aisles, kids having a hell of a time to the music we knew our parents hated. It was our first act of collective rebellion. This is why I hold my tongue whenever the subject of the awful stuff kids listen to today comes up. I have too good a memory to be such a hypocrite.

[hibanz]

Man I finally found the song! I was in daycare when they were playing this while we were dancing:) I’m now 20 and this has brought me joy:))

To this day I like Bill Haley’s music even more and realize how great of a song this ones. It defines rock and roll and the 50s.
