- Book Synopsis
- Crazy Man, Crazy: The Bill Haley Story is the first complete biography to uncover the mystery of the world's original rock n roll superstar. Combining extensive interviews conducted with family members, ex-Comets and his father's business associates with decades of exhaustive research, Bill Haley Jr. illuminates both the public and private lives of his famous father for the first time. Bill Jr and veteran rock writer Peter Benjaminson explore every aspect of Haley's career, including his unlikely transition from a yodeling Hillbilly entertainer and disc jockey to a chart-toing performer, as well as the racism, rebellion and delinquency that surrounded his rise. Examining Bill Haley's precipitous fall from the top of the charts, his abandonment of two ex-wives and six surviving children and his prolonged descent into alcoholism, ending with his tragic and shocking demise at the age of 55, this moving story is the definitive account of the original King of Rock n Roll.
