Rock And Roll Is Here To Stay
ROCK AND ROLL IS HERE TO STAY
Dave White, Frank Maffei, Danny Rapp and Joe Terranova began singing together in the early 1950’s at ages 13 and 14 in Philadelphia, where they were fans of the local rhythm and blues radio stations. The group, which was formed by Dave White, went by the name The Juvenaires. They performed at school dances, local clubs, restaurants and street corners, which is where John Madara discovered them.
The group, who had changed their name to Danny & the Juniors, recorded AT THE HOP in 1957, where it reached the top of the charts worldwide. Written by John Madara and Dave White, AT THE HOP remained #1 for an astounding seven weeks, the first record ever to reach that status. The group immediately followed with ROCK AND ROLL IS HERE TO STAY, written by Dave White and produced by John Madara. AT THE HOP has been featured in the award-winning motion pictures "Woodstock" and "American Graffiti," and ROCK AND ROLL IS HERE TO STAY appeared in the hugely successful motion picture "Grease."
