November 3, 1957 – Danny and the Juniors

November 3, 1957 – Danny and the Juniors release “At The Hop.” Originally titled “Do The Bop” after a current dance, the song was re-written and re-named at the suggestion of Dick Clark who pointed out that dances come and go, but Hops will be around for a long time. #ROCkabillyHop #DannyAndTheJuniors #AtTheHop
