Bill Haley and His Comets

Everyone remembers Bill Haley for the first rock and roll hit, Rock Around the Clock. He and his Comets had numerous other hits. Originally only Haley was inducted into the Hall of Fame, with the Comets inducted many years later. The Hall has a long reputation of neglecting backing groups. Haley was inducted by Chuck Berry. It is also a shame Haley was not a charter member. He had to wait a year. Haley also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Rock Around the Clock was used as the original theme song for the sitcom Happy Days.
