Bill Haley

Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback podcasts!  <br/>Bill Haley and his group the Comets are generally credited with first popularizing Rock and Roll in the early 1950's.  As a result of their success, they sold over sixty million records worldwide.  During the period from late 1954 to the end of 1956, the band recorded nine Top 20 singles, one of which reached number one and three that were Top Ten hits.  "Rock Around the Clock" became the best-selling rock single in the history of the genre and retained that position for many years.  I'm Bill Price, and this is their story on Rock and Roll Flashback.
