	Guardian \| Johnny Grande
		That the name of Johnny Grande, who has died aged 76, was not more widely known did not reflect upon his pivotal role in the birth of rock'n'roll.
		Grande was born of Italian parentage in South Philadelphia, and initially pursued non-musical careers driving coal wagons and as a detective agency clerk.
		In the late 1960s and early 70s, Grande was a beneficiary of a burgeoning rock'n'roll revival: Rock Around the Clock became a hit again on both sides of the Atlantic in 1974, after it was used as the theme tune to the comedy series, Happy Days.

	Johnny Grande - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grande was one of the musicians involved in the classic 1954 recording of "Rock Around the Clock".
		In the spring of 2006 the onset of ill health forced Grande to (it was hoped, temporarily) take a hiatus from the Comets, who at the time were engaged in a long-term gig at Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theater in Branson, Missouri.
		Initial reports stated that Grande died the evening of June 2; however, the Associated Press later reported, citing a funeral home as its source, that Grande had died on June 3.

	"EXTRA!" Page 1 / Bill Haley and the Comets
		Born in 1930, Grande was working with steel guitarist Billy Williamson in the country music industry in Pennsylvania when the two entered into a partnership with Bill Haley, who was at the time a deejay for a Chester-area radio station and was in the process of setting up a new musical group, the Saddlemen.
		On most of his recordings with Haley, Grande played piano, although he could also be heard playing the organ and most notably the accordion; this unlikely instrument for rock and roll allowed more portability than a piano when the group toured from town to town.
		Among recordings in which Grande is spotlighted were "A Rockin' Little Tune", "The Walkin' Beat", "Tamiami", "Actopan" (a Mexican version of "The Hucklebuck"), and a 1962 radio performance of "The Saint's Rock and Roll" in which he is given a piano solo (something he did not do in the 1955 Decca recording).
