ROCK CALENDAR: 5 February 1957, in England first came Bill Haley

Again, a bit of history of rock and roll. This music is slightly altered white like black music, and she was born in the South. While white in the North of the States were dancing Foxtrot, from the South was approaching a new style, quite unlike the Prim dances of white ladies and gentlemen. But truly popular rock'n'roll have made precisely the first white singers are (in decent society then black not very something and broadcast)-such as bill Haley, and then and Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley in the States, like the Beatles, hurricane of its popularity has sunk many successful artists before, and successful bill instantly lost its success. But the memory remained, and when after ten years began to nostalgia for the good old rock-n-roll, was a place for the old guard.

Bill did not fit the role of a youth idol, he had too many years, he was late. A puffy man with a ridiculous Bang could not make the hearts of young girls tremble – the main buyers of records with youth music. He brought a new style, but it was immediately picked up by young and long-legged,

When bill went on tour to England – he's been waiting for. All the news in England came from the States, both from the big city to the province. For a long time, Billy was an honorary celebrity in the UK, where he was essentially considered the king of rock and roll.

Hayley was accepted posthumously to the rock and roll hall of fame in 1987.
