Bill had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade before forming the Comets. He had been a cowboy yodeler with a "Country and Western Swing" band The Four Aces. Bill Haley also sang with the Saddlemen in the late 1940s Edited April 12 by 953 nut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
