NEW MEMOIR BY BILL HALEY’S BASS PLAYER RECALLS BIRTH OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL.




Marshall Lytle – the lively and often-imitated bass player who was an original member of Bill Haley & The Comets – has just released Still Rockin’ Around the Clock, available on Amazon.com, a unique first-hand account of the birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
At the age of 76, Marshall is one of the last surviving stars of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s earliest days and still performs regularly throughout the United States and Europe. Marshall’s highly entertaining and informative memoir contains never-before-heard anecdotes about Elvis, DJ Alan Freed and many others, including, of course, the often erratic and always colorful Bill Haley himself. Of particular interest to long-time Rock ‘n’ Roll fans, the book details the inside story of recording Rock Around The Clock, widely known as “The National Anthem of Rock ‘n’ Roll” – a song which to this day is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest selling single by any group in history (with estimates ranging anywhere from 25 million to 80 million copies).
Marshall Lytle is a fascinating and lovable conversationalist, and is available for interviews. Please contact publisher Michael Rush to arrange for radio, television and print media coverage of this historic memoir or contact Marshall Lytle at marshall-tommy@suddenlink.net
