YES! I am 77. This was considered the first rock and roll piece!!
Go Bill Hailey and The Comets!!
Many argue that point, but no one called those songs rock and roll, just rhythm and blues.
Bill Haley & The Comets "Rock Around the Clock" is an iconic tune from 1955 that went to number one in the US charts and brought rock and roll into the mainstream. "Shake, Rattle And Roll" and "See You Later Alligator" were two of their other hits. "Shake, Rattle And Roll" is a cover of a Big Joe Turner song. Bill Haley speeds the song up a notch or two but otherwise very similar tunes. A few of Big Joe Turner's other big hits to check out are "Flip Flop & Fly", "Corrine, Corrina", and "Rock the Joint Boogie". Also check out Larry Williams "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" and "Marie Marie" and Bo Diddley "Bo Diddley" and "Who Do You Love".
Many people consider this song the first song of the rock 'n roll era.
The song was recorded the day after I was born, so I'm officially a day older than rock and roll. lol
This was the song that truely skyrocketed rock and roll into mainstream, reaching number one for six or seven weeks in summer '55. Rock and roll elements did exist in other songs of the early 50s, but this was the first big one.
Early rock n roll is made for teens to dance.
This song was used in the opening of a TV show called "Happy Days" for the first two seasons, which is probably why I knew it at a very young age (mid-1970s). One of my earliest memories involves this song. I was in the car with my mother and it wouldn't start. Of course, the radio would come on briefly as she tried to start it. I was crying (don't know why) and I remember her saying something like, "Your song is on the radio." My parents got rid of that car about two months after I turned three, so this probably happened around my third birthday.
No, that was a song created for the show. It went "Sunday, Monday - Happy Days.
Tuesday, Wednesday - Happy Days. Thursday, Friday - Happy Days. Saturday, What a Day, rocking all week with you.". Based on rock around the clock but not the same song.
@@Glittersword I believe the first two seasons (or maybe just the first?) used the Haley song, then it switched to "Sunday, Monday - Happy Days"
One of the very first rock and roll hits. This song was HUGE on the charts and on radio, helping to give rise to a whole new radio format that would come to be known as Top 40 and would sweep the nation.
This was popular in my parents' youth & the 45 single of it was among the collection my dad gave me for my birthday in 1970 along with a portable record player. I have shared music with my parents many times over the years. I was tasked with retrieving my dad's cremains from the funeral home. I was blasting Zepplin's Kashmir & commented to his cremains, "Guess you aren't going to mind the volume on this trip, Dad." When I listen to Zepplin, my neighbors do too.
I had a chance to meet Bill Haley and his comments in the mid-70s
I work for a dealership and their van broke down on I-75 and had to be brought in.
They were before my time but I had older sister and brother that I knew who they were
Awesome 👍💯😉
Danny Corrine was a guest guitarist who played that mini-guitar solo. He was paid a whopping sum of $21 for that gig.
Hey Ace, interesting fact for you:
This song was that song that was originally used as the theme song for the TV series "Happy Days"
Love your appreciation for the early stuff! this was from a much simpler time, but created the foundation for todays popular music. Watch how quickly things changed once Elvis and The Beatles hit the scene.
Makes you want to just get up and start dancing, doesn’t it 😍
1956...Roll over Beethoven- Chuck Berry. Also covered in the following decades by the Beatles and Electric Light Orchestra. Might make for a nice battle of the bands using the same song.
Music and bands were shifting from dance bands to performance bands. So "swing" dancing was still a common dance done by the most of people then. You should check out The Collins Kid, Lori ang Larry Collins. As 10 & 12 year olds they had their own radio show in Oklahoma before moving to California and be came regulars on TV with Tex Ritter. Lori at one point was Ricky Nelson's girl friend . Their careers lasted into the 1960. There are lots of videos of the on TH-cam
Buddy Holly is one to check out if you haven’t. He helped inspire the Beatles by writing most of his own songs.
I think there's a noticeable difference between early rock and "modern" rock. Early rock was more about dance crazes and teen drama, and this is what dominated till about '65. After '65, we start to get what I'd classify as modern rock, with the Beatles, Stones, Who, Dylan and others shifting to mature lyrics and experimental music. From '65-'68 rock music transforms, and by the time we reach the early '70s it is a fully formed new thing. Musically, I guess early rock has more of an emphasis on boogie woogie and crooners as influences, while in the later Sixties folk, gospel, Latin / Middle Eastern, and even medieval influences enter the picture (metal took notes from Bach).
Obviously, check out 1950s Elvis. Carl Perkins. Eddie Cochrane. Buddy Holly. There a lots more.
Music tastes started changing a few years after WWII. By the early 1950's the Big Band Swing style of music was disappearing and being replaced by blues, R&B and a new type of music that incorporated many different styles called Rock & Roll. By 1955 Rock was becoming the most popular form of music. The best example of this was when this song became the first R&R song to reach the number 1 position on the music charts.
Many consider this the beginning of the Rick n’ Roll era.
That chord progression was used a lot--and still is. Take a listen to THE first song of this type when Hank Williams did "Move it on Over." George Thoroughgood did a copy of this much later, and it demonstrates why that song should be considered as the first 'rock" song. One more item worth mentioning here--Haley toured with Hank Snow in the early 50's--and Snow did a song called "Music Makin Mama in Tennessee." (Watch the TV video of that tune) That chord progression is there as well.
12 Bar Blues progression
@@netzahuacoyotl Yep.
Check out Conway Twitty, "It's Only Make Believe". This was before he went country and it's good 50's rock and roll.
❤❤❤❤❤
You should listen to Bill Haley & the comets song (see you later alligator) you should listen to The coasters ( yakety yak) ( Charlie Brown) ( poison ivy) Dion and the belmonts ( teenager In Love) ( I wonder why) the everly Brothers ( bye bye love) ( Wake up Little Susie) ( Cathy's clown) ( all I have to do is dream) the del Vikings ( come go with me) Buddy Holly ( that'll be the day) ( everyday) ( rave on) ( Peggy Sue) the monotones ( book of Love) Elvis Presley ( All shook up) & anything else he sings.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤them
We called it jive but swing dancing is somewhat descriptive.
I know you're a young feller, so just think, your granny and pap, or maybe even your great granny and pap, were just like the kids here! They was a swingin'!
A form of swing dancing, the dance they were doing was called the "jittterbug".
Rock change with the Beatles as the evolved.
Give Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps 'race with the devil' a listen, along with Carl Perkins 'matchbox' ...see ya later alligator.
Glad you're checking the stuff out. I remember thinking a long time ago that you should probably check out rockabilly. Which is basically what this really is. Check out how great that stand up bass slap is. And it's so great for swing dancing although in real life, people did some really crazy stuff compared to what is in this video of course. I played in a rockabilly band for a while and oh my god, that was such a good time and people love dancing to it. I got a huge education in all the old music, with a heavy emphasis on rockabilly. Ronnie Self is my favorite but there are tons of them. Ain't I'm A Dog, and, You So Right For Me, Bless My Broken Heart are so fun. Here's Ain't I'm A Dog:

The dance is called The Jitter Bug NOT Swing
I cannot believe this song is 69 years old wow❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rock and Roll evolved from big band, boogie woogie swing music, country music...etc. n 1954 the record went nowhere. Then they used it for the theme song for a movie called Blackboard Jungle in 1955, the record was reissued, and sol d millions because the kids heard it the movie, about juveniles delinquents in a school, Starring Glen Ford and a relatively unknown Sidney Poitier...
Roll Over Beethoven is my favorite Chuck Berry song.
I'm pretty sure they were called "Bill Haley and "the" Comets. not "his" Comets.
The "roll" in Rock n Roll refers to the type of dancing was done in that time. The genre basically dropped the "roll" in 1970. Very rarely will you find any Rock with the Roll, today.
You are a smart young man you are playing the music most of us grew up on. The other channel are going our to LA LA Land in their head and playing stuff most of never listened to ever.
This is one of the original rock n' roll songs.
You might enjoy The Stray Cats and the Stray Cat Strut.
Or Rock this Town 😉💯👍
Then Elvis showed up and showed us real Rock n roll
It was the theme show happy days
