Description
ROCKER by Danny And The Juvanairs on Singular Records #711X from 1957
“Do The Bop” / “Sometimes (When I'm All Alone)"
The four boys sang at school parties and other local functions. They practiced whenever they found time — in their cars, in the school hallways, wherever. One night they decided to go to a street corner where a local record producer named John Madara lived. After telling the boys to “get lost” a few times, Madara finally went downstairs for a listen. The boys weren’t bad, he thought to himself. In fact, they were good enough for an introduction to local disc jockey, Larry Brown, and his partner, Artie Singer, who had a record label, Singular Records. It was 1957. The young and hopeful Danny & The Juniors found themselves in a recording studio, 1957. At the time, the boys called themselves the Juvenaires, and they had come up with a couple of songs. One was a ballad titled “Sometimes.” Another was a dance tune titled “Do the Bop,” written by group member Dave White. Artie Singer liked “Do the Bop,” and had the group soon cut a demo for him to test with local DJs. Singer took the record to a friend for an opinion — a friend who happened to be Dick Clark of the new Philadelphia TV dance show, American Bandstand.
Dick Clark liked what he heard in the music that Artie Singer had brought him, but he offered two suggestions: that the boys shorten the name of their group from the Juvenairs to the Juniors, and that they change the term “bop,” used in “Do The Bop,” to something else. Clark explained that the kids on Bandstand were then doing a dance called the Bop. “But these dances come and go quickly,” said Clark, suggesting that the group change the word “bop” to “hop.” Record hops, said Clark, “are gonna be around for a long, long time.” (From The Pop History Dig Website)
In the 1980's someone asked Artie Singer whatever happened to "Do The Bop", he replied he still had the session tape so 500 copies were supposedly made of that first session of Danny & The Juniors. Own this copy and hear it yourself, play it for friends and see how "At The Hop" was born.
