Bill Haley And His Comets - Bill Haleys Chicks! '1959; 2020

Tracks list

Bill Haleys Chicks was the eighth album of rock and roll recordings by Bill
Haley & His Comets for Decca Records, Decca 8821. Released in January 1959 and
produced by Milt Gabler, the album was the third theme album Haley recorded for
Decca, following Rockin the Oldies (rock and roll versions of standards) and
Rockin Around the World (rock and roll versions of folk songs). This album is
built on the theme of womens names, with each song being about a different girl.
Included on the album is Skinny Minnie, which was a major hit for the band in
1958, reaching no.22 on Billboard and no.25 on Cashbox, along with a mixture of
originals and cover versions of standards and jazz songs. Lean Jean, a song
musically and thematically almost identical to Skinny Minnie, also charted in
1958, reaching no. 52 on Cashbox. The song B.B. Betty, co-written by Bill Haley
and released as a Decca 45 single, featured a solo vocal by Haleys steel guitar
player, Billy Williamson.
