Bill Haley & The Comets - Birth of the Boogie download song

Great clip. So glad you used the studio version for the music too.

loungelizard5000, Thanks pal, I can tell by your password you are of the, should I say, more mature end of the scale, or maybe you are a more enlightened member of the younger end, but either way, thanks, oh for the days of lounge lizards the lucky good looking bastards.

no need to fight children, cause rock an roll is here to stay

love this clip with German youth keen to discard the past, be free and rock n roll.. whilst goons in uniforms try to curb the enthusiasm..Billy Haley did the hard yards in those early years of true rock n roll...let freedom reign!

Well said!, a lot of people forget that, especially music journalists.

Glimpse of Billy Williamson at the Mike?

Haley started it, but then a good looking, sexy 21 year old came along and the rest is, as they say, history, but I still remember my introduction to this exciting music was Bill Haley and for this I thank him, I feel sorry for this generation, it is all manufactured pap, all manufactured idols, thanks to the internet I can live again.

Bill Haley is the First Big Rock and Roller and The First Rock and Roll Ambassador too!!

I was attending this concert just after I had turned 18 years old; you can find me at 1:40/:41 in suit and tie. The recording really shows that even a majority of police men and watchdogs could not stop us to enjoy ourselves to be finally free after so many years of post-nazi treatment and pushing around.
