What was the first rock and roll record to sell a million copies? It was done by a formerly almost obscure group, Bill Haley and the Comets in 1954, and is here:

My oldest cousin, Linda, was so far the only family's teenager and you could hear her playing this one in her room. Often, she would condescend to let herself out the front door to go visit friends without a word to anyone else, all peasants in her estimation... ah, life in the early 50s!
 
Bill Haley and his Comets also left America a different place with his cool cat saying with a song:

Yep. lolcats had a precursor, and this was it--the era of cool cats. :D
