About Bill Haley
Hometown
Highland Park, MI, United States
Born
July 6, 1925
Genre
Rock
In the early '50s, Bill Haley was one of the prime exponents of what was later called rock & roll. His roots were in country, but years before Elvis, Haley and the Comets were mixing Western swing, pop, and R&B. His "Rock Around the Clock" was a rallying cry for a new generation; had he been more photogenic and hip-looking, he might have worn the crown that Elvis would soon earn as the king of rock & roll.
Bill Haley has also released music as a member of The Downhomers, Bill Haley & The Saddlemen, The Down Homers, Bill Haley and His Comets, The Lifeguards, Bill Haley & The Satellites, and Bill Haley & The Four Aces of Western Swing.
