Rock and Roll
I have again reverted your edit to the Bill Haley article re "inventing" rock and roll, and being the most influential musician of the 20th century. A quick google search quickly negates those claims. Regarding "inventing', our Rock and Roll article deals with it admirably, especially the following paragraph:
 * Contenders for the title of "first rock and roll record" include "The Fat Man" by Fats Domino (1949), Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "Strange Things Happening Everyday" (1944), Goree Carter's "Rock Awhile" (1949), Jimmy Preston's "Rock the Joint" (1949), which was later covered by Bill Haley & His Comets in 1952, "Rocket 88" by Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats (Ike Turner and his band The Kings of Rhythm), recorded by Sam Phillips for Sun Records in March 1951. In terms of its wide cultural impact across society in the US and elsewhere, Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock", recorded in April 1954 but not a commercial success until the following year, is generally recognized as an important milestone, but it was preceded by many recordings from earlier decades in which elements of rock and roll can be clearly discerned.

Please don't change the article again to make it say Haley invented Rock and Roll..Moriori (talk) 23:59, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response sir. Regarding the fact of Haley being 'the most influential musician of the 20th century', I would recommend the reading of the 'Bill Haley' biography on IMDb. Furthermore, the figure of ' more than 200 million records', was stated by the Comets original double bass player who played on the original recording of 'Rock Around the Clock'. He announced during a performance in San Francisco in 2006, that 'Rock around the Clock' alone had sold more than 200 million records and as such was the most successful song ever recorded. I would greatly appreciate it if these could be taken into account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.111.105.77 (talk) 00:45, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Firstly, that bio does not mention the word "influential". Secondly, if there was reliable referencing to support Haley selling "more than 200 million records" he would feature in our article entitled List of best-selling music artists. He doesn't. Moriori (talk) 01:05, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

The IMDb article does still mention that Haley 'is the greatest musical pioneer of the 20th century', could this be included?
