"Rock Around the Clock" is a Rock & Roll song in the 12-bar blues format written by Max C. Freedman & James E. Myers (as Jimmy DeKnight) in 1952.
Bill Haley & His Comets had recorded the song on April 12, 1954 at Pythian Temple studios, NYC for American Decca.
It was released as a single on May 20, 1954 and again in May 1955.
It reached #1 for 2 months and did well on the UK charts; the recording also reentered the UK Singles Chart in the 1960s and 1970s.
This was the first Rock & Roll record to top the Pop Charts in both the US and UK.
Haley's recording became an anthem for rebellious 1950s youth, particularly after it was included in the 1955 film “Blackboard Jungle”.
It reached #1 on the US pop charts for 2 months and went to #3 on the US R&B chart.
It also did well on the UK charts and reentered the UK Singles Chart in the 1960s and 1970s.
The original full title of the song was "We're Gonna Rock Around the Clock Tonight!".
This was later shortened to "(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock", though this form is generally only used on releases of the 1954 Bill Haley Decca Records recording; most other recordings of this song by Haley and others (including Sonny Dae) shorten this title further to "Rock Around the Clock".
The musicians on the recording are:
• Bill Haley – vocals, rhythm guitar
• Marshall Lytle – double bass
• Franny Beecher - guitar
• Billy Williamson – steel guitar
• Johnny Grande – piano
• Billy Gussak – drums (session musician)
• Danny Cedrone – electric guitar
• Joey Ambrose (aka Joey D'Ambrosio) – tenor saxophone
The version of "Rock Around the Clock" that was used in the movie Blackboard Jungle differs from the hit single version. The difference is in the two solo breaks. The record has the guitar solo taking the first break and the sax solo taking the second break. The movie version is just the opposite with the sax solo coming first.
