Bill Haley's New Comets was created in 1987.
The leader of the Comets was Bill Haley; they were billed as Bill Haley and his Comets.
Haley's first group as a leader was the Four Aces of Western Swing. Then he formed Bill Haley and the Saddlemen around 1949-1950, which became Bill Haley and the Comets in 1952.
