OLD 55 6 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 Great Jive Clip to 'See You Later Alligator'/ Bill Haley & His Comets from the Movie 'Rock Around The Clock'. The dancing hots up after about 2 minutes. And here's an even better one to 'Rip It Up' from Bill Haley's follow-up Movie 'Don't Knock The Rock'. I still have the 10 inch LP of the soundtrack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
