Bill Haley / Rock-a-beatin' boogie (rec. 22/09/1955) / released on 31/10/1955 |
This song was first written by Haley (alone) for his friend Danny Cedrone who had been a Comet a few years ago. But his firm was so overcautious to let Esquire Boys recorded it. So, The Treniers recorded it first in 12/1953 and the single was released in 03/1954 !
