Here I Am, Here I Stay

Here I Am, Here I Stay (German:Hier bin ich – hier bleib ich) is a 1959 West German musical comedy film directed by Werner Jacobs and starring Caterina Valente, Hans Holt and Ruth Stephan. A guest performance by Bill Haley & His Comets was filmed in October 1958 and included Haley and Valente dueting on "Vive la Rock and Roll"; Haley additionally performs "Hot Dog Buddy Buddy" on-screen and "Whoa Mabel" off-screen.

Soundtrack

In the late 1980s Bear Family Records of Germany released a soundtrack album for the film, which was notable for including two of the three Bill Haley recordings which had been made exclusively for the movie (including "Vive la Rock and Roll" which featured the then-unprecedented duet between Haley and Caterina Valente, and "Hot Dog Buddy Buddy"). The third Haley recording made for the film, "Whoa Mabel", has not surfaced as of 2011 (like the other two it is not the same recording as released by Haley on Decca Records).
