On April 12, 1954, Bill Haley and His Comets recorded
“(We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock.” If rock and
roll was a social and cultural revolution, then
“(We’re Gonna) Rock Around The Clock” was its
Declaration of Independence, and if Bill Haley was
not exactly the revolution’s Thomas Jefferson, it
may be fair to call him its John Hancock.
