Danny Rapp (lead), Frank Maffei (2nd tenor), Joe Terranova (baritone) (aka Joe Terry), and Dave White Tricker (first tenor) (aka Dave White) met at John Bartram High School and started singing together in the mid 1950s. Known as the Juvenaires at the time, they sang at school parties and other local events. Local record producer John Madara took notice of them and introduced them to local DJs Larry Brown and Artie Singer, who had a record label known as Singular Records. In 1957, they recorded a John Madara and Dave White penned song “Do the Bop“, and Singer took it to a fellow DJ named Dick Clark. Clark liked it and suggested changing their name to the Juniors and renaming their song. Changing “Let’s all do the Bop“ to “Let’s go to the Hop“ proved to be successful, and it became a local hit in June 1957. In December 1957, they received a call from Dick Clark to be a last-minute substitution for a no-show band on American Bandstand, and they performed it for a national audience.[
The song became a nationwide hit after ABC Paramount bought the master recording and issued it in January 1958. They soon appeared on The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom and other national TV shows. Soon after, they recorded “Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay“ and “Dottie“, both of which charted. In 1959, White left the group, leaving them a trio. In the fall of 1957, David began attending Temple Univ. and was on the Gym Team, but quit school when the group started making personal appearances.
In 1960, the band was signed to Dick Clark’s Swan Records label, and they released one more record, “Twistin’ USA“. It made it into the Top 40, and became their final hit single. They went on to release several more singles, but were not able to repeat their earlier successes.
White left the group in the early 1960s to concentrate on writing and production. He was very successful in this venture, composing a number of hits, including “You Don’t Own Me“ for Lesley Gore, and “1-2-3“ and “Like a Baby“ for Len Barry.
Through the rest of the 1960s, the Juniors also appeared on Guyden Records, Mercury Records, and Luv Records (a subsidiary of Bell Records), where they re-recorded “Rock ’n’ Roll Is Here To Stay“ in 1968. In 1973, they re-recorded “At The Hop“ for Crunch Records, which was owned by the same company that owned their ABC-Paramount Records master recordings.
