Bill Haley 

The hoopla surrounding the purported fiftieth anniversary of rock & roll didn’t quite ring true. Bill Haley might have lobbied for 2001 ... fifty years after he’d covered Rocket ‘88’; or 2002 ... fifty years after he’d recorded Rock The Joint; or 2003 ... fifty years after he broke into the pop charts with Crazy Man Crazy, a record that fit every criterion of rock ‘n’ roll. But, of course, Bill Haley said not a word; he had died neglected and alone on the Mexican border in 1981, and even at the time of his death he was wondering why he’d be written out of the story.“ (Colin Escott, Nashville)
