“I would say trust your own judgment and develop your own style that is true in your heart and don’t be deterred from that. Just develop that something that’s unique to you that you feel you can give. Be true to yourself, trust your own judgment; that’s all.” Justin Hayward, vocalist, lead guitarist and composer for the Moody Blues

On April 12th, 1954, Bill Haley and the Comets had their first recording session at Pythian Temple studios in New York City after signing with American Decca Records. The landmark recording session almost didn’t take place when the band was traveling on a ferry that got stuck on a sandbar en route to the Big Apple from Philly. The 12-bar blues song, written by Max Freedman and James Myers, became a number one single on both the US and UK charts and opened the door to rock & roll as a commercial tsunami.
