Bill being interviewed on his 1976 European tour. The Austrian interviwers's command of English is not that great, but Bill answers in his usual polite and gentlemanly manner.
Bill came from an educated background. His mother was English, and she was a teacher who also played piano & organ, so Bill always had perfect diction when he spoke. His father was from east Kentucky--and he played old-time music on mandolin. He was a ship builder at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
You are so right. Franny is fantastic !! Bill was a gentleman,and I wonder why nobody ever did a proper documentary about him. He was the first Rock`n Roller. Way before Elvis. I have Country recordings with Bill from 1946,and some of the songs has a strange Rock and Roll/Boogie sort of feel. Yes,Bill was the first.
The man was a serious entertainer, always singing pretty well trough the years, and his band was really original. I don´t get why some people hate the guy. Maybe he wasn´t a teenage rebel but he did a great contribution to Rock.

I dont think people hate him. They overlook him despite his major contribution to music. Its unfortunate that people forget true talent.
Well, to many people like us he is one of the great ones without any doubt. He was original and honest in his art: Rock and Roll.
The one and only REAL KING OF ROCK N ROLL.... THE INSTIGATOR
Peter Rapp showed up at several of the "New Comets" recent concerts in Austria--he is still a very classy gentleman.
Wish he lived longer to give us more live entertainment bless him
What A Great Speaker Bill Was. Could have been a News reporter or Talk show host.
Same years Fats Domino visit Austria and my Country Denmark. Copenhagen Tivoli Garden, april 12. My Luck to say Hello to Fats. LOVE. ✊👏🎤🎹
Now Bill Haley will always always be the king of rock and roll for sure.Elvis was something else..could not imagine elvis singing razzle dazzle!!!!
Long time ago Robert Gordon made a recording on "Crazy man crazy" honoring Bill.
I wish hollywood would make a bio movie on Bill Haley, which actor could play Bill Haley?
I so want this too. A 2 hour or more movie would be really nice to see.
AMEN!
