Auction History Result 9t0836 BILL HALEY 8.25x10 publicity still 1950s head & shoulders portrait by James Kriegsmann! Date Sold 9/28/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Publicity Still (Learn More) Bill Haley was a singer and bandleader from the 1950s to the 1970s, best known for being leader of Bill Haley and the Comets. From late 1954 to late 1956, the group placed nine singles in the Top 20, one of those a number one and three more in the Top Ten. Haley had previously been a country music performer but later changed musical direction to a new sound which came to be called rock 'n' roll (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 behavior, many fans consider them to be as revolutionary in their time as the Beatles were a decade later! Haley passed away in 1981 at the age of 55. He had had drinking problems, as well as a brain tumor, but it was a heart attack that led to his relatively early demise. Important Added Info: Note that many celebrities kept multiple 8" x 10" (or smaller) copies of good publicity images of themselves to sign for fans, and also many memorabilia shops sold such copy stills themselves. While they are not original theater-used stills, they are usually excellent clear copies, with a great shot of that celebrity in their heyday, which, when signed by the celebrity, makes for a wonderful framed picture on any fan's wall! Condition: very good. There are a few light creases around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
