Audio Information
Description
Bill Hailey and the Comets are considered just as revolutionary to rock 'n' roll as the Beatles or Stones.
Hailey died in 1981 but a former collaborator of his is keeping the music alive.
Al Rappa is the leader of Bill Hailey's Comets, a name he has fought to keep.
He talks to Growing Bolder about all the musicians vying for the name and who he thinks Hailey would be playing with today if he were still alive.

Posted 1:45 pm November 28th, 2007I have seen Mr Rappa perform and there is not a greater entertainer anywhere in this world. He moves with the grace of a dancer and the spirit of a true rock and roll legend. Long live rock and roll. Long live Al Rappa.
