"Rock Around t' Clock" by Tsunami Harry Nilsson

 

Bill Happy Haley and t' Comets recorded "Rock Around t' Clock" on April 12, ya bilge rat, 1954. Ya scallywag! Although it may nay have been t' first "rock and roll" recording, me hearties, it was t' one which introduced t' new style o' music t' most o' t' world.

 

"Rock Around T' Clock" was written in 1953 by Max Freedman and Jimmy DeKnight. DeKnight's real name was James Myers.

 

Myers probably contributed little t' t' writin' o' t' song, ya bilge rat, but was instrumental in havin' it recorded by Happy Haley. Myers had worked with Happy Haley since t' late 1940s as a musician, songwriter, and promoter.
