- Bill Haley & His Comets was an American rock and roll band that was founded in and continued until Haley's death in 1981. The band, also known by the names Bill Haley and The Comets and Bill Haley's Comets (and variations thereof), was the earliest group of white musicians to bring rock and roll to the attention of white America and the rest of the world. From the end of until the end of the group would place nine singles into the Top 20, one of those a number one and three more in the Top Ten. Bandleader Bill Haley had previously been a country performer; after recording a country and western-styled version of "Rocket 88", a rhythm and blues song, he changed musical direction to a new sound which came to be called rock and roll. Although several members of the Comets became famous, Bill Haley remained the star. With his spit curl and the band's matching plaid dinner jackets and energetic stage behaviour, many fans consider them to be as revolutionary in their time as The Beatles or the Rolling Stones were in theirs. Following Haley's death, no fewer than six different groups have existed under the Comets name, all claiming (with varying degrees of authority) to be the official continuation of the group led by Haley. As of early 2008, three such groups are still actively performing in the United States and internationally.
- Bill Haley y sus Cometas (nombre original Bill Haley & His Comets) fue una banda estadounidense de rock and roll creada en que continuó hasta la muerte de Haley en 1981. La banda, también fue conocida como Bill Haley and The Comets y Bill Haley's Comets u otras variaciones similares, fue uno de los primeros grupos de músicos blancos en tocar rock and roll atrayendo la atención del público de su país y de todo el mundo hacia ese nuevo estilo musical, de origen afroamericano. El líder del grupo, Bill Haley, había sido previamente un intérprete de música country & western (folklore blanco). Después de grabar en una versión country del tema "Rocket 88" (una de las canciones consideradas como iniciadoras del rock and roll), cambió su estilo para adoptar el nuevo sonido que terminaría llamándose unos años después rock and roll. Si bien varios de los Cometas se volvieron famosos, Bill Haley permaneció como la estrella. Con su rulo sobre la frente y la banda con trajes de etiqueta y su comportamiento enérgico sobre el escenario, fueron considerados en su tiempo tan revolucionarios como Los Beatles o Los Rolling Stones en la década del 60. Luego de la muerte de Haley, no menos de seis grupos diferentes se han formado bajo el nombre de Cometas, todos ellos reclamando para sí ser la histórica continuación de aquel que dirigía Haley.
- Bill Haley & His Comets oli yhdysvaltalainen Rock and Roll -yhtye, joka perustettiin vuonna 1952, jatkaen uraansa vuoteen 1981 asti, kunnes Bill Haley kuoli samana vuonna. Yhtye teki läpimurtonsa vuonna 1954, kun yhtye julkaisi singlen Rock Around the Clock. Siitä tuli suosittu kappale, joka on samalla Rock and Roll-historian ensimmäisiä kappaleita.
- Bill Haley & His Comets foi uma banda de rock and roll que teve início nos anos 1950 e que continuou até a morte de Haley em 1981. Esta banda, também conhecida pelos nomes Bill Haley and The Comets e Bill Haley's Comets, foi um dos primeiros grupos de músicos brancos a levar o rock às grandes platéias norte-americanas e ao redor do mundo. Seu líder, Bill Haley, era um músico de country; depois de gravar uma versão country de "Rocket 88", uma cancão de R&B considerada o primeiro Rock and Roll gravado, ele mudou seu estilo para um novo som chamado rockabilly. Embora diversos integrantes do Comets tenham ficado famosos, foi Bill Haley quem permaneceu como o astro. Com sua postura energética ao palco, muitos fãs consideram-nos tão revolucionários para sua época quanto os Beatles e os Rolling Stones foram para as suas. Mais de 100 músicos tocaram com Bill Haley & His Comets entre 1952 e 1981, muitos tornando-se favoritos dos fãs. Várias tentativas de reunir a banda têm sido feita desde os anos 80. Os Comets originais, que tocaram com Haley entre 1954 e 1955, iniciaram uma turnê mundial em 2005, tocando em casas de concerto nos Estados Unidos e na Europa. Dois outros grupos também clamam a posse do nome Bill Haley's Comets, e também se apresentam nos Estados Unidos: um trazendo o baterista (de 1965 a 1968) John "Bam-Bam" Lane e o outro o baixista (de 1959 a 1969) Al Rappa. Em março e julho de 2005 os integrantes do grupo de 1954-55, agora chamados simplesmente de The Comets, fizeram várias aparições em Nova Iorque e em Los Angeles como parte das comemorações dos 50 anos do rock and roll e dos 80 anos de Bill Haley. Durante um concerto em 6 de julho a filha mais nova de Bill, Gina Haley, cantou com a banda; uma aparição similar fora feita em março pelo filho mais velho de Bill, John W. Haley. O The Comets pretende gravar um novo CD de versões, particularmente de canções do The Who, The Beatles, Bob Dylan e de seus antigos sucessos.
