"Father" Bill became interested in the rock and roll sound, as heard in e.g. "Rock The Joint" by Chris Powell 1949, after that rock and roll sound already existed.
Rock n Roll started way before Chris Powell's Rock the Joint. Hank Williams 1947 Move It On Over and the only true roots of Rock n Roll was from European Folk Music and the words Rock n Roll was first used in verbal and musical communication hundreds of years ago in England. Rhythm and Blues and similar words are all come from England and included in music for hundreds of years. Chris Powell is not the inventor of Rock n Roll music or his contemporaries in Rhythm and Blues. Bill Haley was the only man that experimented music and always had that element to his music way before his recording of Rock the Joint because country music is closer to Rock n Roll than Rhythm and Blues fact. Without country music and European Folk music there be no rhythm and Blues artist or them using those words to identify the music they played. Rhythm and Blues artists needed European music and words and storie words in rhythm and Blues songs and none of it originated from African source whether in America or Africa itself. Bill Haley had the relevant and ancestral background for the music of Rock n Roll as he is the only true and original father of Rock n Roll. Chris Powell on the other hand ancestors were of African origin a place that had no music to develop rhythm and Blues sound or it's words to name that music it all derived from the natives of England. Not a single Rhythm and Blues artist invented or created Rock n Roll 100% fact instead they emulated and copied there white counterparts fact.
Little Richard always bragged that he was the true architect of rock', roll. I always laughed because Bill and his Comets were singing rock and roll before it was called by that name, and before Little Richard was famous.
Little Richard was never the architect of Rock n Roll fact. It's Bill Haley that created Rock n Roll as he experimented music and named it so. Little Richard was an arrogant jealous copycat. He was envious of Elvis fact. He knew Elvis was simply better than he and Elvis was a recording artist before that Richard phoney chap.
No exaggeration here folks. I was there as a 15-17 year old male. Before Haley and Presley there was, in the UK here, a musical lassitude hangover from the death of King George IV in '53. There was American Forces Network in Germany and Radio Luxembourg, "Wonderful 2-0-8!'....and they played mostly crooners and big band stuff...nothing in the UK. Then it happened...Haley and the 'Blackboard Jungle' and 'Rock Around The Clock.'....that's when the modern age of pop began, and I can't convey to you how exciting it was. Presley followed hot on the heels of Haley to perpetuate the musical excitement.........but Haley started it, kiss curl and all!
After World War 2 the USA progressed faster than any other country in the world since they entered the war late and didn't spend as much money. Rock and Roll music was one of them and Bill Haley was the first one to break big everywhere thanks to his song Rock Around the Clock being used in a movie!
Maybe the first rock musician ever before evils buddy holly before Beatles before queen before guitar hero before paramore before the cats before the doors before Motley Crue before fall out boy and many others their was Bill Haley I Mahoney he could knwo that’s bands if he was alive and he didn’t know about Motley Crue yet they started in 1981 but Haley died in that year
Rachanee Suzie Q. Many thank for this clip..I was listened to rock and roll ..rock around the clock since I was 7 snd noe I am 78 now Before don't hasthe IT..but now it's the good technology .. so thank you so much again for your sharing... Thanks..😊😊😊
Mikey SOONER FAN Lndsey Thanks for watching and I wish it could’ve been longer there was four stories videos put on by the BBC , One was Bill Hayley buddy holly Elvis Chuck Berry but soon as you post these short videos up, they get taken down by CZcams copyrights.
@@richardroyce4128 I'm just curious, were there any later records of your grandfather's from the 60's or 70's that he was proud of, but didn't really get noticed?
Two things made the music great. The music itself is rocking, which goes over many peoples heads because even remasters sound shabby. Anyone who listens to this stuff, myself included, we tune our ears to the recording or we wouldn't listen. Secondly, even bands doing this stuff live can let you down. What real brought the music to life is Bill Haley. It was Elvis Presley. Johnny Cash. Little Richard. In a time when this stuff could be as dull as a chalkboard, their energy and life and charisma made it great. I wasn't alive back but I was raised with a few good cover bands in my town who were real firecrackers. Good rock makes you feel like you're on stage with the guitar rocking out. If you don't feel that it ain't good rock.
I heard a sad story that one time a couple decades later, Bill Haley was in a crowded bar or a club, and someone mentioned that he was Bill Haley, but literally nobody in the place knew who he was. He even started singing one of his hits, or he found it on the jukebox and played it, or something along those lines....and everyone just laughed at him. That must have been so heartbreaking for him to experience. I heard that once he realized that his accomplishments weren't really well known by the general public, he became very depressed and reclusive and also started drinking heavily. I can't say for sure that any of this is fact, but I remember hearing this story somewhere. Perhaps it's at least partly true.
Although rock around the clock was recorded first, it was shake rattle and roll released in late 1954 that gave Bill haley&the comets thier first transatlantic million selling record making the top 10 in both the USA and the uk in early 1955
We want a movie about Bill Haley! If Elvis, Ray Charles and so many others get one why hasn't Haley got one yet?! The constant lack of recognition Bill Haley gets is unacceptable and unbelievable as he is the KING!
I agree with you he was the most talented singer and performer, but I do think Buddy Holly is probably the most talented writer to come out of rock ‘n’ roll and singer.
This is great except the part where Marshall Lytel, in the red jacket talks about the crowds and riots. He was one of the original Comets but he left the band before they toured outside of the United States. Big mistake on his part.
If I'm not mistaken, when Haley toured Europe in 1956 the Comets consisted of (what many consider there best and most talented lineup) Al Rex, Jonny Grande, Bill Williamson, Franny Beecher, Ralph Jones, and Rudy Pompilli. Marshall, Joey, and Dick Richards where long gone by then.
I never liked Marshall Lytle. A liar. When Bill Haley came to Great Britain in February 1957 and to Berlin in October 1958 Marshal Lytle had already left the Comets.
Mr. Bill Haley is the Father and true King of Rock and Roll. Thank you, teacher. Your music will last a lifetime.

Bill Haley the creator of Rock and Roll all over the world country plus country. He is the King of Rock.
🇮🇹 D'accordo! 🇺🇸 I agreee!
Bill Haley was the creator of rock and roll in the whole world. His records sold as ice creams.
Think r&r was born in black music

I was born in December 1955 in Chester, Pennsylvania, home of Bill Haley and the Comets!
Luv it! Bill Haley lives in our hearts
I've always considered Bill Haley to be the king of rock and roll.
After World War 2 the USA progressed faster than any other country in the world since they entered the war late and didn't spend as much money. Rock and Roll music was one of them and Bill Haley was the first one to break big everywhere thanks to his song Rock Around the Clock being used in a movie!
Rock and Roll is great I love dancing
Bill Haley is the First Rock and Roll Dynasty !!!
You always write the same.
Maybe the first rock musician ever before evils buddy holly before Beatles before queen before guitar hero before paramore before the cats before the doors before Motley Crue before fall out boy and many others their was Bill Haley I Mahoney he could knwo that’s bands if he was alive and he didn’t know about Motley Crue yet they started in 1981 but Haley died in that year

Bill haley lived in Bethel Pa as a kid the house was next door to my parents. Proud to be from the same town !
I’m his grandson …. My grand mom was his first wife, Joan
@@richardroyce4128 I'm just curious, were there any later records of your grandfather's from the 60's or 70's that he was proud of, but didn't really get noticed?
So pround to live right down the street from where bill did in Bethel Pennsylvania. We used to see him at Booths Corners Farmers market...

Bill Haley also had a earlier hit in 1953 call "Crazy Man Crazy".
I love how they had better camera quality than a bank's secuirty camera.
We want a movie about Bill Haley! If Elvis, Ray Charles and so many others get one why hasn't Haley got one yet?! The constant lack of recognition Bill Haley gets is unacceptable and unbelievable as he is the KING!
@#$!ing love bill haley for ever amen
Excelente atencion dispemsada
Rock and Roll travelled all over the world country plus country.
Exelente .😎😎
you know your stuff jack.
he grew up in Highland prk. mi
Maybe Elvis Knew Bill Haleys Music is bigger
"... looked more like your dad than your dad did." Ha! Good one.
Whats the name of that band that the guy bumps the little guy?😊
Where’s the conclusion to this?
Before the Beatles smash on the late 50s there is Bill Haley
Bill Haley is great !! But Elvis Presley was the most talented performer ever no one can compare to Elvis . Elvis had everything
I agree with you he was the most talented singer and performer, but I do think Buddy Holly is probably the most talented writer to come out of rock ‘n’ roll and singer.
this guy was almost 50 when he did this.
No! He was born in 1925. In 1955 he was 30. Maybe in some way he looked older due his left blind eye.
Dont foget that rock and roll was not adult country, or adult rhythm and blues, it was music for TEENS! And not for adults ever!
Tom Jones Tiger of song
What doc is this? Where’s the Elvis part?
This is great except the part where Marshall Lytel, in the red jacket talks about the crowds and riots. He was one of the original Comets but he left the band before they toured outside of the United States. Big mistake on his part.
Jack Haley
If I'm not mistaken, when Haley toured Europe in 1956 the Comets consisted of (what many consider there best and most talented lineup) Al Rex, Jonny Grande, Bill Williamson, Franny Beecher, Ralph Jones, and Rudy Pompilli. Marshall, Joey, and Dick Richards where long gone by then.
"Unfortunately, Bill Haley looked like the family grocer."
What does that mean? By the way, I’m his grandson…. I’m not lying
Rock n roll. Born in Detroit.
Motown. Born in Detroit.
Punk. Born in Detroit.
Shock Rock. Born in Detroit.
Techno. Born in Detroit.
Imagine this was before Elvis and the Beatles......Bill Haley looks like he's local butcher.
I never liked Marshall Lytle. A liar. When Bill Haley came to Great Britain in February 1957 and to Berlin in October 1958 Marshal Lytle had already left the Comets.
