Bill Haley
SK(APEX)
Long considered to be the first rock and roll song, Rock Around the Clock, by Bill Haley and the Comets was recorded April 1954. Other contenders to the title '1st rock'n'roll record' include: 'Good Rockin' Tonight' by Wynonie Harris (1947), 'The Fatman' by Fats Domino (1949) and 'That's Allright Mama' by Elvis Presley (1954).
The First Billboard charts to include rock began in january, 1955,
The first #1 was "Let me go Lover" by Joan Weber-hardly a rock song.
I would say the first song that you could really call "rock" to reach #1 was "Dance With Me, Henry (the cover version by Georgia Gibbs) which reached #1 in May, 1955. (The REAL R&B version of that song was by Etta James that same year.)
Difficult question to answer. The first song ever in the charts was Let me Go Lover by Joan Weber in January, 1955...hardly a rock and roll song. Pick from the following songs to say which one YOU think was the first rock record, all in 1955.
Dance with me Henry by Georgia Gibbs in May, or Rock around the Clock by Bill Haley and the Comets in July.
