Dick Boccelli is better known to rock music fans as Dick Richards, an original member of Bill Haley and the Comets. Boccelli-Richards played drums and sang with this classic rock and roll band from 1953 to 1955, before forming The Jodimars. Today, Boccelli divides his time between movie and TV roles, and playing drums with the original Comets, who have been reunited and touring the world since 1987. Boccelli was a football player and school teacher before he became a member of Bill Haley and the Comets in 1953. Show less «
