Boy does this one bring back the memories. Maybe this is going too far back for some people, but for anyone who grew up in the late 60’s and early 70’s, I can still remember how much this song just struck a certain chord with so many music fans, even ones who were into the much harder rock music that was evolving at the time.I used to hear it at the beginning of “Happy Days” and then heard it when I saw the movie “American Graffiti” too. Of course it garnered it’s original popularity from being the theme music in “Blackboard Jungle in 1955.
This song had it all, a great beat, killer solo, great lyrics and singing by Bill Haley and a classic ending. To me it totally defined what rock-and-roll was, if this doesn’t get your feet moving – Nothing Will!
Sadly of course, Bill Haley himself is no longer with us, but his music lives on and keeps getting re-discovered and revisited.
Although I’ve heard many versions of this song by many different “Bill Haley and His Comets” lineups, this one is truly my favorite and the Best of them – enjoy:
