It was Rock Around the Clock that really got me into Rock 'n' Roll. It must have been around 1972. I was a fairly listless teenager, spending a lot of time just mooching around and listening to the radio. One day on Radio Luxembourg Clock came crackling over the airwaves. It made me literally sit bolt upright.
âRock-Around-the-Clockâ was the first song he recorded for Decca Records (now MCA) in 1954. (I was there.) He also recorded the other song for Decca, but a year later. According to Alan Freed, the first time he used the term ârock ânâ rollâ was when he first played RATC on his radio show at NYC station WINS. Haleyâs recording of RATC is still selling over a million copies a year worldwide, and has sold more than 40 million copies to date.
