DESCRIPTION
EU-only two CD collection. No one would deny Bill Haley's reputation as The King of Rock and Roll or any of the other titles bestowed upon him during his career. Here is a look at his lesser known period, one that few are familiar with today, Bill Haley in Mexico. In Latin America, there was no Hank Ballard and there was no Chubby Checker - there was just Bill Haley y Sus Cometas. By the early 60s, Bill Haley became another kind of King, the King of the Twist. Features the first big singles, "Twist Espanol" and "Florida Twist" both of which became enormous hits and "Florida Twist" was the biggest selling single in Mexican history.
