商品簡介
CRAZY MAN CRAZY: THE BILL HALEY STORY
An authorized biography of rock ’n’ roll’s true pioneer—Bill Haley.
Bill Haley—the man who brought rock ’n’ roll into the mainstream. His song “Crazy
Man, Crazy” was the first rock ’n’ roll song to break the Billboard Top 20 in 1953
and was followed by his evergreen “We’re Gonna Rock Around the Clock,” the
first song of its kind to hit #1. His success made him an idol not only in the US
but throughout the world, from Canada to the UK, Europe, Australia, Japan, New
Zealand, and beyond. Yet Haley is often overlooked in the story of rock ’n’ roll,
overshadowed by others who followed him, from sex symbol Elvis Presley to wild
man Jerry Lee Lewis and forever-young Buddy Holly.
But Haley’s lack of visibility was in part his own doing: he had conflicted
feelings about fame, was extremely private, suffered chronic alcoholism, and
troubled relationships with multiple wives, which yielded ten children who he struggled
to support. Though he managed to carry on a successful touring career, his
demons eventually eroded his health, and in 1981, at the age of only 55, he passed
away.
This book is written by esteemed biographer Peter Benjaminson and Bill Haley
Jr., Haley’s son, a musician himself, who tours the world paying tribute to his
father’s music. Culled from interviews with insiders—from ex-wives to the Comets,
recorded conversations with Haley Sr., official documents, diaries, and more, this
book not only charts the happenings of Haley’s career but gives insight into the
Haley behind the curtain and some of the other trials he faced, from the dark side
of the music business to ties with Mafia. Featuring a collection of rare photographs,
this book is a must-have for any serious rock ’n’ roll fan.
