TODAYS MIX


Danny & the Juniors - Do the Bop

Yes DO not AT and BOP not HOP.

This is the original version (a Demo??) of At the Hop (1957). They were basically OHW (One Hit Wonders) although they still seem to be performing today albeit in a modified form, as the Danny was Danny Rapp who died in 1983.

The story seems to be that Dick Clark of Bandstand fame suggested the change to At the Hop. Another interesting version of At the Hop was done by a Nick Todd who was Pat Boone's brother. He couldn't emulate his brother as his singing career never took off.

James Darren - Goodbye Cruel World
Perry Como - Just born to be your baby
