Bill Haley

Geboren am 6.7.1925 in Highland Park, US-Staat Michigan, gestorben am 9.2.1981 in Harlingen, Texas. Der Rock'n'Roll-Pionier kam aus der Country- und Western-Swing- Szene. 1953 formierte Bill Haley die Comets (später unter anderem mit dem exzellenten Saxophonisten Rudi Pompilli, verstorben am 5.2.1976), im Jahr darauf unterschrieb er einen Plattenvertrag bei Decca.

 

Bill Haley & The Comets

Bis 1960 spielten Bill Haley & The Comets über ein Dutzend US-Hits und Klassiker ein, darunter Unvergängliches wie “Rock Around The Clock', 'See You Later Alligator“, 'Rock-A- Beatin'-Boogie', 'R-O-C-K' und 'Rip It Up'. Die Crew wirkte ferner in Musikfilmen jener Zeit mit. 1958 war der Altmeister mit der deutschen Sprache in Kontakt gekommen. 

Für seine LP 'Rockin' Around The World' (Decca 8692 - USA) spielte Bill Haley Tracks wie 'El Rocko', 'Vive la Rock'n'Roll', “Me Rock-A-Hula', - 'Piccadilly Rock' und 'Wooden Shoe Rock' ein. Die zumindest im Titel internationales Flair signalisieren sollten. Was lag da näher, als für den deutschen Abstecher ein so ungemein gebräuchliches Wort wie 'Schnitzelbank' in den Text zu integrieren? Ebenfalls im Angebot: 'ja', ' - Fraulein' und 'Ach, du lieber Augustin'. . .
