Performer: Bill Haley
Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: Bill Haley exploded onto the scene in 1954, but the original king of rock & roll had been a character in the Western swing world for nearly a decade. JSP's elegantly annotated box set, THE EARLY YEARS 1947-1954, thoroughly chronicles the icon's rise, from the cowboy balladry of "Tennessee Border," to the swinging "So Long, Farewell, Goodbye," and the playful "Ten Little Indians," when the sound was set that would signal the start of the rock-&-roll era.
In the early 1950s, Bill Haley was one of the prime exponents of what we know today as rock & roll. His roots were in country, but years before Elvis, Haley and the Comets were mixing Western swing, pop, and R&B. Haley's "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 king of rock & roll.
