Bill Haley & His Comets recorded the seminal rock n roll song "Rock Around The Clock" on April 12th of 1954.

Although it was released as a single in 1954, it was not until 1955 that the song became a #1 hit. The song was used during the opening credits of the movie Blackboard Jungle which seems to have spurred it's popularity.
