		Bill Turner, who was the Comets' guitarist in the mid-1970s, has recorded an interview for WDVR Radio in Sergeantsville, N.J., for broadcast in early-mid April.
		The Comets was the first group of its kind whose members were recogized as having personalities of their own, and a Haley show would not be complete without several numbers performed by members of his band.
		The Comets continue to be one of the most beloved of rock and roll bands, although the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inexplicably did not honor them when Bill Haley was inducted in the 1980s.

		Bill Haley's roots were in country music and he began his career as a country singer - however, he experimented in various ways, taking ideas from R+B music to make his music a little different.
		Bill was hugely popular for a brief period in 1955 and 1956, but as Elvis took over as the leading star of rock'n'roll, record buyers quickly lost interest in Bill's music.
		Bill had further international hits with Rock-a-beating boogie, See you later alligator, The saints rock'n'roll, Rocking through the rye, Rip it up and Don't knock the rock, though these records were generally more popular in Britain (where there was no obvious competitor) than in America (where there were plenty of other rock'n'roll acts emerging).

		There's no denying Haley brought out a new brand of music to white audiences, and helped changed the face of popular music,--and I really dig this stuff-- but what must be understood is that his fame came at the expense of many fl artists unable to reach white audiences due to the recording industry.
		Haley covered Jackie Brenston's epochal "Rocket '88" within a few months of its 1951 release with his Western swing outfit, Bill Haley & the Saddlemen, and after that it didn't take long for Haley and his bandmates to make with the boogie and add some strong proto-rockabilly material to their set.
		Haley was unfairly reduced to a footnote for many years, obscured by the large shadows of Berry, Presley and others.

		Granted, there were many rock and roll recordings made prior to July 1955, by Bill Haley himself, as well as a few by Elvis Presley, it was “Rock Around The Clock” that established rock and roll in the public’s psyche.
		There may be a dispute over who started rock and roll and with many saying it was Bill Haley while others pointing to Little Richard or Ike Turner but there is no dispute that Bill Haley and the Comets were rock pioneers.
