"Rock Around the Clock" is a #rockAndRoll song in the #12barBluesFormat written by #MaxCFreedman and #JamesEMyers (the latter being under the #pseudonym "Jimmy De Knight") in 1952. The best-known and most successful rendition was recorded by #BillHaleyAndHisComets in 1954 for American #Decca. It was a number one single for two months and did well on the United Kingdom charts; the recording also reentered the #UKSinglesChart in the 1960s and 1970s.

Rock Around the Clock

Bill Haley would have turned 100 today.

“We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
We're gonna rock, rock, rock 'till broad daylight
We're gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight”

Rock Around the Clock – Perhaps the original song to symbolize rock and roll rebellion. #MusicisLife #TedTocksCovers #BillHaleyandtheComets #MaxCFreedman #JamesEMyers #LeroyAnderson #SonnyDaeandhisKnights #SexPistols #ChubbyChecker

From yesterday’s post suggesting that we “rock and roll all night and party every day”, today’s post simply asks us to ‘Rock Around the Clock’. There are definite similarities though. To begin with…

On this day in 1981, Bill Haley died. Here is his signature song.

“One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight”
