Bill Haley: The Guardian Of Rock 'N' Roll
Martin Hawkins, Melody Maker, 7 April 1979
MARCH 1979, and rock king Bill Haley's in town, almost a quarter of a century since he recorded 'Rock Around The Clock', and 22 years after that magical pied-piper train journey to London from the quayside at Southampton in 1957, when Haley's Comets introduced American rock 'n' roll for the first time.
