Bill Haley & His Comets - "Hot Dog Buddy Buddy" - from "Don't Knock The Rock" - HQ 1956

A rare close-up look at the band - and some HOT dancing!

[@theinspector7882]

Listening to Bill for the 1st time turned me into a rock musician.

[@dbcountryboy]

Darn right!!

[@lolasmom5816]

They were very picky about their bodies. They didn't make excuses to be morbidly obese

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1956 {July 9th} Bill Haley & the Comets was scheduled to perform at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey... A city ordinance was issued to prevent the concert, the ordnance stated 'Rock and roll music encourage juvenile delinquency and also inspires young females in lewd bathing suits to perform obscene dances on the city's beaches'... At the time the group's "Rockin' Through the Rye' was at #78 on Billboard's Top 100 chart and that was also its peak position on the chart... The record's flip-side, "Hot Dog, Buddy Buddy", was also on the Top 100 at position #87... William John Clifton Haley passed away on February 9th, 1981 at the young age of 55... May he R.I.P.

"The first time I really felt my whole body shiver was when I attended the Bill Haley & His Comets on TV," said Paul McCartney.

This is the great musical intersection where blues,country and rock and roll meets Rockabilly at its best.

[@Billhaley55]

Bill Haley was unique and his Band's were always strong. His music was really Rock-a-billy, which is a mixture of Country Western and Blues. In any event Bill truly had a "Image" problem and has never really received the recognition he so richly deserves.

[@hyperspacecubed]

Are there any drummers out there like me who appreciate the ridiculous amazingly loud snare drum? It's just huge!

[@seansteel3499]

It's a slingerland radio king, though I just love the tune, this high end snare drum is not showing its best quality here, contemporary speaking! Plus a ton of reverb. I thing they recorded these songs in a large echo sounding room called the Pythagoran temple.

[@woodysdrums8083]

I was thinking the same thing

[@msorte]

@@seansteel3499actually the Pythian Temple but you’re close! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythian_Temple_(New_York_City)

[@Firebrand55]

You've hit the rock nail on the head. Until Bill Haley came along, the music scene was largely crooning and big band with some jazz. Then the Comets hit the scene in The Blackboard Jungle with Rock Around The Clock...and the relentless beat of that drum. So I rapidly bought the single Rip It Up; with that drum beat...we had never heard rhythmic stuff like that before...it swept thru the UK like wildfire and the Modern Pop Age was born!.....how do I know?...'cus I was there!......PS I've still got that 7 inch 45 rpm disc!

[@Hattonbank]

@@Firebrand55Totally right. BTW, i have "see you later alligator" on a (delicate) 78rpm on the black Brunswick label.

[@violinoscar]

Those girls really understood what sexy was all about

[@JohnHWelch63]

I suppose back in the 50s that was considered very sexy, but by today's standards it's rated G. LOL

[@MrRacket991]

They outclass the skanks of today by a mile.

[@dolliejasmine347]

Those dancers are so cute!

[@johnsturdy6429]

[@brianpope5243]

There was no music for us teenagers until this guy came along, followed by Elvis, Fats domino, little Richard, Jerry Lee, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, etc. what days they were

[@uthmaanpacsa7259]

100% true.

[@brianholihan5497]

This is a perfect rock video. An exciting song with powerful drumming, a great guitar solo, fun lyrics, and a great singing voice. And those dancers make me hornier than a cicada.

[@39thala]

Hot dog Buddy buddy, those fabulous ladies of the 1950s!

[@fozziebear26]

Damn those ladies .....🔥🔥🔥🔥 Shame we all gotta get old 🤪

[@warrengrizz2106]

This music will never go out of favor!

[@davidsmith-hb1jx]

Compared to most acts Bill had a large band. When him and the boys hit those big fat minor chords it just makes me smile.

[@lukeskywalker1840]

God I was born too late and missed out on a great generation!!!

[@SrComet]

I love that music!!!

[@kennydobbins9644]

So was I.

[@GhislainLafrance]

Yeah me too. I'm 41 and like this type of music way more than today's music. There was a real soul at that time. 😉👍

[@bordercolliesarebeautiful5280]

Dana H You and I both 😊

[@JellyrollHorton]

It's never too late. Get a Gretsch hollowbody, study some rockabilly, put it together in your garage with some buddies, buddy. Hot Dog!

[@billreid818]

People forget how good this band really was... totally original sound on these recordings...

[@pickneydem4087]

the first generation of rock n rollers were all kings of rock n roll as far as i'm concerned

[@lcar4000]

I agree. Nothing nearly as good since.

[@debumaiya]

Love those girls' pre Daisy Dukes lol ;)

[@mick62mick]

Still as exciting as ever!

[@joachimfroelich3382]

Ein ewig junger sound - die Euphorie war damals unbeschreiblich - ich war dabei und auch nach 66 Jahren ist die Begeisterung für Bill's Musik geblieben! R I P Bill Haley!!

THE KING

[@kennydobbins815]

Johnny Cash is the king.

[@saulocruz1]

it depends what are we talking about , I don't know why you put this together , I know Johnny was goodbut Bill Halley in this kind of Music is the best

[@unclejay1973]

It's a shame music isn't this good anymore nowadays!!

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1956 {June 30th} Billy Haley & his Comets appeared in concert at the Convention Hall in Asbury Park, New Jersey... Some overzealous fans got out of hand and local police were called, 25 people were hospitalized which resulted in the city council banning all future rock concerts at the Convention Center... At the time the group's "Hot Dog, Buddy Buddy" was at #65 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, the week before it had peaked at #60 and stayed on the chart for 6 weeks... During the calendar year of 1956 Bill & the boys had nine records make the Top 100 chart; started with "See You Later, Alligator" {#6}, "R-O-C-K" {#16}, "The Saints Rock 'N Roll" {#18}, this one, "Rockin' Through the Rye" {#78}, "Rip It Up" {#25}, "Teenage's Mother (Are You Right?)" {#68}, "Rudy's Rock" {#34}, and "Don't Knock the Rock" {#45}...

[@carllafong69]

sauquoit13456 Kinda tragic though - these gems should ALL have made NUMBER ONE. Those who weren't there - don't realize that thanks to Fifties repression (and record labels and broadcasters) the charts of the time were filled with MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD CRAP!!

[@kennydobbins9644]

Excuse me, but stuff like Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Neil Sedaka, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper were not crap. If you want to know about crap, listen to the majority of today's music.

[@bassoneman]

You, tell him there Kenny.. All the people you mentioned were not definitely middle of the road..

[@ginger1959able]

This year is the 60th anniversary of RATC and raise a glass to the man that started it all BILL HALEY!

[@39thala]

Loving the hollow sound and echo of those drums! very different. Sounds just like you're listening inside those big steel riveted walls of that hall.

[@babyblueLEGEND]

@Peter Racippo, You said a mouth full. I'm always struck by how tight a band the Comets were. Haley was a great bandleader and to this day he's still not give the credit he deserves. While Sam Philips was thinking about what he could do with this music form, Haley was doing it.

[@grenvillesnell9003]

Hot ladies buddy buddy

I like the way Bill walks off stage towards the guys coming through the back door,links the second song 'Goofin Around'.well.The man on the right is Alan Freed,the Dj.He coined he expression,'RocknRoll'.I remember seeing this film several times in the fifties

[@sQWERTYFALIEN2011]

I like how they left in the sounds of the footsteps of the Ladies Dancing . Has a 1950's charm to it , the Band and the Dancers are the Talent and was done the way they would doit Live on Stage . I dont know which was a bigger Thrill , Bill Haley and the Band - or - the Dancers !

On this day in 1956 {December 14th} the rick 'n roll movie "Don't Knock The Rock" had its world premier and opened in theaters across the U.S.A. and Canada... Bill Haley and the Comets appeared in the movie and performed "Hot Dog Buddy Buddy"; it entered Billboard's Top 100 chart on June 16th, 1956 and eventually it peaked at #60 and spent 6 weeks on the Top 100... R.I.P. Mr. Haley {1925 - 1981}...

Those women are too hot!!!! I like the blonde in the white shirt especially! Her long shapely legs go From Here to Heaven!! Now that's what I call a fine woman! 😁😁. They can shake their beautiful ass until the cows come home!!! Haha😄😄😄😄

[@Lilepace]

They're skinny af

[@39thala]

Good 'ol long legged, healthy, curvy All- American girls. Seems to be fast becoming a thing of the past.

[@39thala]

@@BigMoe-wf7nx That's because she's the only one wearing heels, The others are wearing flat soft shoes. If you put them all in heels you'll have all long legs. But I will say American women back then did generally longer legs. Hmmm, I wonder why that is?

[@devilsoffspring5519]

What a time it must have been for music, when rock & roll was more about fun and human playfulness, rather than being angry or depressed. Not that angry or depressing tunes can't be authentic, but rock & roll was originally about having fun and making people happy.

[@paulkiss1981]

It's amazing to realize that those sexy dancer are mostly.... dead by now... How crazy is that?

Bill Haley & The Comets became the first-ever rock 'n' roll band to tour the UK, Europe and Australia. Among those who saw Bill Haley & The Comets perform on their landmark first UK tour in 1957 and who were inspired to start their own rock 'n' roll bands - were future members of: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Hollies, The Animals, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, Rod Stewart and many of the other musicians who formed the British Invasion.

Got this on a 78 rpm along with quite a lot of other rock'n'roll 78s.Bill Haley was already called the King of Rock'nRoll''' before Elvis made it big.I'm an Elvis fan too of his early stuff,but this guy paved the way,wrote the songs but didn't have the hair and looks to appeal to young girls thats all.:)

[@neilfoster4484]

A very good version of the Little Richard classic. Haley doesn't try to copy the original but re-interprets it in his own style. If you can jive, Haley and his band are just right for dancing! Shame they were never given their critical due ....except by the fans....x
