Podcasts about Rock Around the Clock

Rock Around The Clock was a moderately successful B-side - until its inclusion in the teen rebellion movie Blackboard Jungle - following which, on 9th July, 1955, Bill Haley and the Comets' earworm became the first rock n'roll song to hit US No.1. But Haley was no teenage rebel. He was already in his late 30s, balding, and rocking a curl on his forehead that screamed “respectable uncle”. But he was smart. He had rebranded his country-western band, The Saddlemen, as a rock outfit;  raided high school dances for slang, watched what kids moved to, and marketed accordingly. But, despite kickstarting a musical revolution, his star dimmed quickly.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly uncover Haley's bizarre second wind in Mexico, where he became the voice of The Twist; consider Rock Around The Clock's role in retro nostalgia, following its later inclusion in ‘Happy Days'; and examine exactly what in its DNA caused 50's teenagers to slash open cinema seats in excitement…  Further Reading: • ‘Clock that rocked the world' (The Times, 2004): https://www.thetimes.com/article/766e2b25-addf-46fc-bfb4-98f821692d79 • ‘The Making of a Teenage Anthem: The Story Behind "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and His Comets' (American Songwriter, 2024): https://americansongwriter.com/a-teenage-anthem-the-story-behind-rock-around-the-clock-by-bill-haley-and-his-comets/ • ‘Bill Haley & His Comets - Rock Around The Clock' (1955): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgdufzXvjqw Learn more about your ad choices.

Discover how "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & His Comets helped launch rock and roll into the spotlight in 1954! In this kid-friendly episode of History Ignited, our hosts explore how one song got teens dancing, changed the music industry, and earned a place in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire.

TVC 686.2: Peter Ford, son of screen legends Glenn Ford and Eleanor Powell, helps Ed celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the release of Blackboard Jungle, the iconic film from 1955 that not only starred Glenn Ford as a young English teacher in an inner-city high school, but which prominently featured the song “Rock Around the Clock” in its soundtrack, putting Bill Haley and the Comets on the map while also launching the era of rock 'n' roll music. Peter Ford was just ten years old when Blackboard Jungle was released, yet he played a very prominent role in getting his dad and director Richard Brooks to integrate “Rock Around the Clock” into Blackboard Jungle—indeed, Little Stevie van Zandt once credited Peter as being the catalyst for one of the seminal moments in rock 'n' roll history. Peter Ford is also the author of Glenn Ford: A Life, an intimate look at the life and times of one of our finest screen actors.

In an ancient time known as the middle 50s, the nation's youth came together to declare in a single voice: Now is the time for rock and roll! To commemorate this occasion, they asked a big half-blind guy with curly Q hair to record a song about the various times that rocking can happen. This week, Andrew and Dan talk about that song! And movies (because of course)!

Stories, feelings, songs, the old fashioned way, Heath had his share of attempts with rockabilly and a touch of Rock Around The Clock.

For the first time, we get to share HIS story. Here in part 2 of 2, we get to hear about the man under the hat, where his heart is at with country music today, the secrets of rythym guitarists, and his dual band, one in Michigan and one in Florida.   Dig into the wrap up here with Country Legend Butch Heath.

Rock Around the Clock, uno de los grandes clásicos de la Historia del Rock, se usaría durante los títulos de apertura de la película The Blackboard Jungle (titulada aquí como Semilla de maldad...no de forma casual) y con ese tema se daría inicio a una nueva era, la Era del Rock and Roll.

Önkényes Mérvadó 2020#04 - Influencerek termékekkel, Bill Hailey - Rock Around The Clock

The post Beat Club: Rock Around The clock appeared first on NiTfm.

In 1954, CBS Radio's documentary unit presented a special feature series on a variety of hot-button topics. On April 11th, illegal Immigration from Mexico was their focus. Today, the term Wetback is rightfully one of derision and insult. It might have privately been considered the same in 1954, but in the mainstream it was used to describe anyone who swam into the US from across the Rio Grande River. At the height of Red Scare Mania, the fear was a communist spy could pose as a Mexican migrant. The next day in New York City, Bill Haley and the Comets recorded the ground-breaking single, “Rock Around The Clock.”

If you've followed this series from the beginning, it started with 1977, the year I began high school and a year when music changed with the arrival of punk rock. So why jump back to 1953? As I recorded the earlier chronological episodes, I found myself thinking, both for the music and the major news stories, how did we get here? What's the back story of each news event and what are the inspirations and ground-breakers that blazed a trail for music through to today? Because, primarily, this is a series about music, I wanted to look back to just before rock n roll to get an understanding of the popular music before it was changed forever. I thought that would mean 1956, maybe 1955 when Bill Haley's Rock Around The Clock first charted in the UK. But in keeping with the series theme of taking a view from both sides of the Atlantic, things started a little earlier in the US. There's still debate about what was the first rock n roll record or even which was the first rock n roll “hit”. But the one I went with was released in 1953. See if you can spot it and listen out for the other, less successful recordings that were clearly appropriated for what became known later as rock n roll. A couple of foot-notes to explain things that were different back in the 1950s. It was not uncommon for the same song to be released multiple times by different artists almost at the same time. One song in this episode charted 5 times in the same year all by different artists! So don't be surprised to hear songs in this episode recorded by unexpected artists. In the 21st century, because of the nature of the internet and digital content, new music releases are usually a single, global event. But in the 1950s a record could be released a year or more apart in the US versus the UK versus other parts of the world. This certainly made determining what constitutes “music from 1953” a challenge. There will be disagreements. World War II had only ended 8-years earlier but conflict continues in Korea. That will be an early order of business for new US president Dwight D Eisenhower and vice-president, Richard Nixon. In the UK, King George VI (sixth) has just died, resulting in his young daughter Elizabeth taking the thrown. She hadn't been formally crowned as the year begins and the impending coronation will be televised in the UK, seeing increased sales of TV sets. Televisions have only existed for 17 years and around a quarter of British households now own one. Welcome to 1953.

 The year was 1955. Bill Haley's Rock Around The Clock blasted off and just around the corner on the charts was Elvis who had a minor hit in 1954 that made some waves with That's Alright, Mama and Good Rockin' Tonight.  RCA bought his contract from Sun Records for $35K. The minimum wage reached new heights of $1.00 per hour. The Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in the World Series. The Honeymooners and Gunsmoke debuted on television. And we'll be digging through the top ten charts of country, rhythm & blues, and pop in a year where the Cold War was a fact of life leading us to duck and cover.

I've recorded these ahead of time and most likely will not be available on social media for the next few weeks, but you'll still get The Story Behind twice a week if you're subscribed to the podcast. Consider this series to be like a substitute teacher. We won't go as in-depth as in previous episodes, but we'll briefly touch of a number of different topics in each episode. This series focuses on Billy Joel's song “We Didn't Start the Fire” and the headline-making events and people he mentions. Some content may not be suitable for all listeners. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind We Didn't Start The Fire: 1953-1954. In this episode: Joseph Stalin Malenkov Nasser (and) Prokofiev Rockefeller Campanella Communist Bloc Roy Cohn Juan Peron Toscanini Dacron Dien Bien Phu falls "Rock Around the Clock" Follow The Story Behind: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | Website Check out #PodernFamily on Twitter to find other great indie podcasts like this one.
