Eric Delaney And His Band - Old King Rock & Roll [1957]

[stagggloves]

Hi Rick,

Only just spotted this fab "6.5 Special" clip and it is great to see Mr Delaney in action again, and very sad to hear that he had died.

Though I must correct you, the song is actually titled "Rock n' Roll, King Cole" (Pye-Nixa N15079 - and yes, I have got it on a 78rpm record)

More than a little influenced by Bill Haley and his Comets.

Cool video ! Great achival footage. It's also so cool to see a fellow lefty upright bass player. Thanks for posting !
