Tribute to Marshall Lytle

A special tribute to one of the founder members of Bill Haley's Comets, Marshall Lytle.

This week鈥檚 Rock 鈥榥鈥� Rock party includes a special tribute to one of the founder members of Bill Haley鈥檚 Comets who recently passed away 鈥� Marshall Lytle. He played the rhythmic slap-bass on all the early hits, including of course 鈥淩ock Around The Clock鈥�. The Comets played the West many times since re-forming in 1989 and Geoff interviewed them often. Using this exclusive archive audio, Geoff tells Marshall鈥檚 story and the birth of Rock 鈥榥鈥� Roll. Plus of course, contributions from other members of the band, including a fond tribute from Comet鈥檚 drummer Dick Richards, recorded only this week.
