Crazy Man, Crazy: The Bill Haley Story

Crazy Man, Crazy: The Bill Haley Story (Backbeat) tells the story of legendary rock musician Bill Haley who, despite his hit songs, never met overwhelming commercial success and visibility like other stars such as Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly. This biography delves into Haley’s personal life — from his multiple troubled relationships to the dark side of the music business — to show how Haley’s muted visibility was partly due to his own mixed feelings about fame.
