- The first record I bought was 'Rock Around The Clock' by Bill Haley and the Comets, a 78rpm one.
This is from the Royal Variety Show of 1979 recorded at Theatre Royal Drury Lane where my father was the Manager.
Bill Haley died just 15 months later at the age of 55 most likely from a heart attack'.
He still had it in 1979! This is the music that kicked off the Rock n Roll Revolution!
Yup
He sounds EXACTLY the same!
❤️
Yes,he does
You are aware he was only 52 when this was recorded? His music wasn't vocally demanding. It's not like a selection from the Led Zeppelin or Yes catalog.
Thank God for CZcams! Because this a reminder of how great Bill Haley was live. And this was in 1979 when he was in his fifties! Amazing! He sounds exactly the same as he did in the Fifties!
Rock around the Clock was the first big Rock n Roll hit that sparked the fire that became a revolution in music.
He got overlooked by Elvis because of his looks. Let’s face it, Elvis was the total package and was unstoppable then. So he’s been passed over but Haley’s music has lasted the test of time. There were plenty of other good songs that he sang like See you later Alligator and Shake, Rattle and Roll,etc! He wasn’t just a one hit wonder but Rock around the Clock was his biggest hit!
RIP Bill Haley- A Rock n Roll Pioneer!
Totally agree!
Pongo a bill arriba de Haley por el componía y Elvis no lo hacía.
The father of Rock and Roll.....the moves the comets we're doing while strumming the guitars are still used to this day
He never lost his ability as a singer
I was just reading about his late years, his alcohol relationship! and yet he looks sharp playing and singing...
Great voice..Instantly created great atmosphere.All dressed.No flashing lights.No smoke.All playing instruments.Just great👍🍺
Maybe, its too many guitars for simple song like this) Two guitars will be enough, probably)
Bill Haley was a true Rock 'n Roll Pioneer!
Good days
not 'a'...'the'.
This guy was always smiling. Imagine doing the same song for decades? I think i would lose my mind but these singers do it over and over and over, and they smile. I guess that's the part of singing that isn't easy. They have to act happy and excited and repeat the same thing for like 30-60 years
Bill was always loved in the UK. What a great performance, those Comets were brilliant as well!
He had such a unique voice perfect for the era of rock and roll 50s rock and roll.
His guitar players were awesome. Way ahead of their time.
True. Really special and powerful voice.
This was the final recorded performance of Bill Haley doing Rock Around the Clock too (and his final appearance on TV). It was the final night of his fall 1979 European tour and he went out on top playing for the Queen (videos purporting to be the farewell concert were actually recorded in the spring of 1979, well before his true farewell). He went on to do one final set of performances in South Africa in the spring of 1980 but no footage is known to exist from that. So this was a milestone performance. Also, Haley tended to drop a verse and the second instrumental break of Clock in his later years, so it's a good thing he did the full version here! Trivia - the smiling guitar player with the beard is Chico Ryan, formerly of Sha Na Na! And the guitar player at the far right is Mal Gray who was the leader of a group called the Wild Angels. None of these Comets played with Haley before 1979 but I think they picked up the sound pretty well!
Many thanks for the great background info.
Bill Haley was great !
He was the first to Fuze genres before their was such a thing as genres.
He was still rippin' it up in 1979!
Yes,he was!!
One of THE TRUE kings of rock along w/ Chuck & Elvis, Buddy, Eddie....
Bring that sound and music back!
@Finanz Ferdinand Nah that 50s era needs to come back into the world
Such a clean sound , text book , the zen Master
Bill Haley is very good music!!!
Good sounding band. Not many artists can do their signature songs 25 years after the fact and pull it off that good.
The Cowsills, (and half of them are dead) The Seekers, Little Peggy March.........still sound great 50 YEARS LATER!
This is the command performance you get when you Don't fuck with the Formula , alot of performers were guilty of messing with their own songs up to the point where they weren't even recognizable . BILL knew to play what the people wanted to hear the way it was meant to be played !!!!😊
I saw Bill Haley and the Comets here in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1975 at an amusement park...What a performance! The King of Rock and Roll!
Bill Haley Gone, But Not Forgotten. Forever Rockin' Around The Clock. Rest In Peace. From Smokey Binion, Jr.
I was 12 when Rock Around The Clock came out. Seems like Yesterday. Always liked it. RIP Bill.
Bill Haley a legend as Elvis. Rest in Peace. 😁🎸🎸🎸
Bill Haley never sounded better than he did here-I remember when he passed away RIP Bill you were one of the best Auckland New Zealand 2021
The reason I love this original rock and roll . Nothing beats this ..,👍
Amazing he looked the same here as twenty five years earlier!
What a beautiful country was USA then
C'était le meilleur
Yeah. We let to many foreigners in.
@@jameshoagland9660 I agree, but some of them are nevesary, not to many. Politically Correct have been a big problem
Still is!!
@@jameshoagland9660 Yeah, starting with too many Europeans.
For many Rockabillies everything started with Elvis. But for me everything started with Bill Haley when he died in 1981.They played his songs in the radio up and down.
What a voice!
The King plays for the Queen!
I am a massive Elvis fan. This man started it all the grandfather of roll and roll legend.
Bill Haley started early with Rock & Roll but Fats Domino played even earlier Rock & Roll when Bill and his Saddlemen played still C&W
Elvis made rock n roll sexy, but bill wrote some of the 1st white rock and roll songs, elvis was more of a stylist taking blues tunes, country tunes from other artists and re arranged them along with a shot of gospel. That is why Bill is the main man in my eyes ,I also like the sound he gets with the brass instruments and drums which elvis only got later on.
@@neilfranklin5644 well said 👍
Me as Elvis too, but there a pics, Elvis and Bill together backstage 🆒
Wow never saw this before....sounds great...no music like this anymore
I got to play with the original comets and oh boy !! What a night . This is the real deal . Bill was a great artist . America forgot about them
Toute ma jeunesse...merci
Bill Haley and those great rock n roll shows!
Humble man at work. Thank you Mr Haley.
Great clip...from a time when entertainers dressed like entertainers, and performed!
Judge an act by the performance reaction of the audience. Rock around the clock lifted the roof off.
Recorded in 1954 and still cutting it in 1979!!
King Rockn ROLL BILL HALEY 🎤🎸🌟
Apparently one of the Queens favourite performers.
Icon of Rock and Roll.
Bill ... beautiful!
2021- Brasil.
Te conocí en Buenos Aires,cuando tenía 15 años y baile en el cine Rex....tan emocionada. ..vos y Elvis me enseñaron a amar el rock
ALWAYS EXCELLENT A TRUE SHOWMAN !
In this video he was 54, and his voice sounded exactly as in 1958. Great!
He really does sound fantastic
I saw Bill in London in 1956. Here the Comets lineup has changed, but Bill sounds as great as ever.
@@michaeljonn2397 Yes!
Crazy story towards the end of his life….lived in Harlingen Texas. Died at only 55. He was truly a pioneer.
Seine Urne wurde nie gefunden.
All time Favourite
Dad would blast Bill Haley every weekend drinking his Lucky Larger Beer. RIP Dad and Bill.
I'm Dedicating this to my buddy Rodney Lytle who's father was a big part of the band ....
Dear Stephen Garai
I have two productions for your buddy Rodney Lytle, named the house is rockin' 1997 and another title Mijn eerste grammofoonplaat.
I hope you will like it.
Greetings from Martin Barendse, the Netherlands.
No Question about it. Mr. Haley and his Comets definitely deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Brilliant! The Father of R'n'R...
Even H.M. The Queen congratulated Bill, afterwards..
Great to hear the original guitar solo in Rock Around the Clock!
Ritmo delicioso pra ouvir, relembrar momentos e sonhar!
Wonderful says, "America ...we do this"
El verdadero rey, y padre del rock and roll.El más grande.saludos desde Chile👍👍👍👏👏👏
"Rock around the clock"was the sound track for the classic"Black board jungle".Rock n'roll shot off like a sky rocket.🗽👍
To rock around the clock is always a good time to do it.
God bless you, Bill!
O que é bom dura para sempre, VIVA Bill Haley

Great sound
Best years of my life were listening to this and I didn't even know it. Haley, Fats Domino, Everly Brothers. What we have now can't compare. No stand out stars anymore
You need character and they isn't anyone with that.
Fantastic document!!!
we had a lot of his 45's back when. this really takes you back.
The founding father of rock and roll!
He still was great!
The beginning of rock and roll how things change
My first records ever were Haley's... those were some fun days.
A voice so haunting it’s from beyond the grave…..
The Original KING OF ROCK N ROLL, Although im a Buddy Holly fanatic 100% i have to say this is the INSTIGATOR of Rock N Roll
Bill is rightly regarded as the King of RnR & Buddy has deffo influenced many of today's musicians. But for me I'd say the genre started back in the 40's; have a listen to 'Cab's Boogie' & 'Jumping Jive' by Cab Calloway then 'Numbers Boogie' & 'Caldonia' by Frank 'Sugar Chile' Robinson, you won't be disappointed.... 👍👍👍
@@del2591 Yeah, ive got those tunes, play them on a regular basis, they are killer tunes, I agree Bill is the instigator, Buddy was the Master and Pioneer
@@mattcollier5957great minds clearly think alike; I saw Bill at Caister '79, the performance was 1st class. But when it comes to Buddy, for me his best track is 'Down the Line'; pure raw energy unlike the more commercial efforts of 'Rave On' etc. Bill, Buddy, Cab etc will always be listened to in the future unlike the rubbish that's around now methinks. Keep on rockin' Matt! 👍👍👍
@@del2591Hey Caister, yeah the good days, Down the Line, awesome track, i love Rave On though, its the pinnicle of Rock N Roll, Yea love that raw energy that Buddy created with Changing all those Changes also Midnight Shift, thats music, yes unlike the rubbish today. 100% AGREE. Keep Rockin Man
Si dopo Elvis!
2021 bill haley i am still love to see you and your comet wowwwww
cela fait vraiment plaisir d'écouter et de voir bill haley
Mi ricorda la mia infanzia. Grande ❤
Me encanta la música de esta época.
Quando eu era criança minha irmã me chamava de bill halley, que honra de saber quem é essa lenda do rock in roll
Cool
Terrific performance.
1:00 ... what a perfect intro ... R.I.P. great master
Bill was another great talent taken too early. Sometimes the gods are jealous and selfish....
Our Heavenly Father, his son and our savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are not selfish by any means.
Viejo bill nunca tuvist el reconocimiento que t merecias fuiste superado x otros artistas de rok pero fuiste el primero y eso como en el amor tiene su inportancia relativa.
Wow, I didn't know until I was today old that Bill Haley performed so late in his life. A great man taken too soon, tormented by alcoholism and mental illness.
mental illnes, alcoholism. fuck you. You don" t know shit about enything, you litttlle shit. Bill past away becouse of brain cancer.
Bil, nos hacia, bailar, al ritmo,del relog,.que recuerdos..
Outstanding...
Thank you very much！
Me encanta la música
That person singing would rock so heavily
Bill halley true king of THE rock!!!
ROCK n ROLL der alten Schule einfach der Wahnsinn die 50ziger Jahre,Unvergeßlich!!!
A legend.
FANTASTIC, THANK YOU
Fenómeno sin igual
The lead guitarist is who I want to hear as well. He's good, Bill playing rythem 🎸
Dave “Chico” Ryan from Sha Na Na was there, too, playing bass. What a great addition to the Comets!
Bill Haley was great
Merci Bill pour tout ce que tu nous a donné , c'était bien toi le meilleurs de tous .
Hard to believe he died at only 55 years old just two years later.
His early death was largely due to many years of alcoholism which created a number of other health problems.
Bill lo maximo en musica clasico tremendos musicos desde El salvador.
Perfecto, la gran estrella del rock
