BILL HALEY AND HIS COMETS. Signed photo. New York: Jolly Joyce, James J. Kriegsmann, ca. 1950s. Black and white photo signed in black ink by Bill Haley, Billy Williamson, Rudy Pompilli, Ralph Jones, Franny Beecher, Al Rex, and Johnny Grande (one of the earliest lineups of the Comets). Approximately 10 x 8”. Some mild toning, rubbing, occasional creasing. Fine. Bill Haley and His Comets was founded in 1947 and ran (with many different band members) until Haley’s death in 1981. They were one of the most successful American Rock and Roll bands of the 1950s, and their mega-hit “Rock Around the Clock” is one of the most important and influential Rock and Roll songs of all time, bringing Rock and Roll into mainstream culture. Provenance: The Bo Overlock Collection.
