AT THE HOP- 24K Gold Music- Danny & The Juniors Signature HIT Song - COVER Version - 50s Sock Hop

Welcome to 24K Gold Music Shows! “At the Hop“ is a 50s pop song written by Artie Singer, John Medora, and David White and originally released by Danny & the Juniors. The song was released in the fall of 1957 and reached number one on the US charts on January 6, 1958, becoming one of the top-selling singles of 1958. “At the Hop“ also hit number one on the R&B Best Sellers list. Somewhat more surprisingly, the record reached #3 on the Music Vendor country charts. It was also a big hit elsewhere, which included a number 3 placing on the UK charts. The song returned to prominence after it was performed by rock and roll revival act Sha Na Na at the 1969 Woodstock Festival and featured in the 1973 coming-of-age teen comedy American Graffiti. Musically, it is notable for combining several of the most popular formulas in 1950s rock’n’roll, the twelve-bar blues, boogie-woogie piano, and the 50s progression.
