Ok OLD Goldwing riders, yes that's us.

FACT:

The first real pioneer (not the KING) of early roll and roll was
"Bill Haley and the Comets"

Agree or no?

P.S. Also, can you guess the #1 song most heard, play and sung world wide for dam-near before our time?
(Hint: It's not a Christmas song)

I'll post the answer later.........Good Luck

Yes, it was Bill Haley and the Comets with "Rock Around the Clock".

 

[Steve Smith]

Wasn't that the theme song from "Happy Days"? There's gotta be a Chubby Checker song on that list of greats too.
