[QUOTE="texan, post: 960233, member: 38206"] [B]On this day, 12 April 1954, Bill Haley and His Comets recorded [I]Rock Around the Clock[/I] for Decca Records on this day in 1954. The song was recorded at the Pythian Temple, “a big, barnlike building with great echo,” in New York City. [I]Rock Around the Clock[/I] was formally released a month later. Most rock historians feel the tune, featured in the 1955 film [I]Blackboard Jungle[/I], ushered in the era of rock ’n’ roll. It hit number one on June 29, 1955 and stayed there for eight weeks, remaining on the charts for a total of 24 weeks. [/B] [/QUOTE]
