Actually it was "Fats" Domino. He started in 1939.

Are you serious that guy is still alive right? I think 39 must have been when he was born.I have a
Fats Domino album.

HALEY..definitely HALEY HE combined Guitars with the small Swing combo of his day (Louis Prima was the King of the small swing combo)

All Presley had was Col Tom Parker

Linnster is correct in that Rock Around the Clock was the first recorded song
to be classified " Rock and Roll " , so Bill Hailey and his Comets were first.

I wasnt there in the 1950s but I think thats correct.My favorite Bill Hailey song I know of is
Crazy Man Crazy featured in the t.v . show Glory in the Flower which was anti drugs.Rock
started out more clean cut than jazz but its totally switched places regarding substance abuse.GITF was a anti drug t.v. show that had James Dean in a cameo as a marijuana
smoking teen.

Ive heard Crazy Man Crazy was the 1st rock song played on t.v.Some say James Dean
was rumored to have been learning to play guitar on the set of Giant but Dean wasnt
known for having a good voice although Elvis said if Dean had sung hed have sounded
like Ricky Nelson.

Bill Haley recorded Rock Around the Clock before Elvis recorded his first song, It's All Right Mama in 1954.
