Early in his career, this man played with the Saddlemen as the "Rambling Yodeler". One of his first UK successes was a somewhat bowdlerized cover of Big Joe Turner's "Shake, Rattle and Roll". This man sexed up a Jackie Brenston cover by adding a revving motor to his version of "Rocket 88". He once appeared on a double bill in Chicago with Dizzy Gillespie after his single "Crazy Man Crazy" got him booked on the jazz club circuit. The louder-than-desired drums on his biggest hit were not re-recorded because it began life as a B-Side to another tune, (*) "Thirteen Women". This man's signature tune plays as kids destroy their teacher's jazz records in the opening scene of Blackboard Jungle. That song instructs the listener to "put your glad rags on and join me hon' / We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one". For 10 points, name this singer who was accompanied by "His Comets" on "Rock Around the Clock".
