At the hop - Danny & The Juniors

[TheErrol1975]

One of the greatest Doo Wop songs. Got it on a original 45 rpm

[robertdevald]

@TheErrol1975 Wow it must be very old by now.

[TheErrol1975]

@robertdevald ye and its in very good condition

[FJvoodoo]

@TheErrol1975 Take care of that gem, hard to find an original.

[FJvoodoo]

First time I heard this was on a car record player, it was a 45rpm back in the early 60's.

[robertdevald]

@FJvoodoo I wish I lived in that time...

[CadillacL]

Finally, the REAL version. I can't stand the remake! Rock & Roll!

[robertdevald]

@CadillacL Keep rocking, mate!

[nonentity2012]

YAY, the ORIGINAL!!!! Yes, Originals are always the best!

[robertdevald]

@nonentity2012 Indeed

[qwondoflex]

I love it. The re- recording..wasn't as good. Originals are almost always best. Thanks.

[robertdevald]

@qwondoflex Thank you for watching, I completely agree.

[TheJanka51]

I knew the other versions didnt sound right , thanks for the real one.

[robertdevald]

@TheJanka51 Yes, I REALLY don't like the new version.

[robertdevald]

@horsewhisperlad No thanks!

[robertdevald]

@horsewhisperlad Thank you very much for removing your comments though I still got them in my mail, also the one you recently sent. Sorry man, but I'll have to block you because you really make no sense.

[robertdevald]

@horsewhisperlad Finally you managed to fix your caps lock key. That's a good start.

[rustednails]

This is the real-original recording! finally someone uploaded it! the re-recorded version is pure crap

[robertdevald]

@rustednails The re-recording really sounds like crap. Thanks for commenting!

[robertdevald]

@horsewhisperlad Alright, let me ask you something: What the fuck are you talking about?! I usually don't swear, but this is just too much! I have no idea what you're talking about because I didn't steal or copy anything. I bought a CD called: "the best hits of the 50's & 60's". I was listening to these old songs and decided to upload them. But you cannot put only audio on YouTube, so I searched Google Images (which is public domain) for the original album cover. I made the video, no stealing.

[maxmodeIRL]

@horsewhisperlad Considering the age of the song and the possibility that Danny and his Juniors are all very much either Seniors or Corpses, I highly doubt they'll be as peeved as you are about this song being out in the public domain.

( Unless you're a beneficiary of some sort? If so, how much do you receive in royalties per year, anyway? )

[kenspurling]

@maxmodeIRL --- Holy shit-- What makes your mind work?

[robertdevald]

@horsewhisperlad Dude, why you hatin'? It's already the second time on this video. Should I block you? What part of the video made you rage? I don't see anything offending in it so please don't write these hate comments without reason. And your caps lock key is broke, I suggest you buy a new keyboard.

[ronetteloverz]

This is the best version on YouTube.

[robertdevald]

@ronetteloverz Thank you very much, I hope YouTube doesn't remove it...

[1959oldies]

This is the original version and sounds good in my old ears.

[robertdevald]

@1959oldies It sounds good for my young ears too! And 65 isn't that old, I wish you 40 more happy healthy years in life! Keep on rocking!

[baldy194859]

@1959oldies i was 12 yrs. old in 1959. it still sounds good to this old man,s ears.

[GiulioMa]

I am a 35 yo dinosaur and I`m REALLY PROUD OF IT!

Greetings from Italy!

Great song.

[robertdevald]

@GiulioMa Ok.... I agree about the song, absolutely great!

[193848663]

@robertdevald it came out in 57'

[193848663]

i kept the record when the song first came out

[robertdevald]

@193848663 Wow, that's a long time, it came out in '56 right?

[robertdevald]

@horsewhisperlad Why did you say that? There wasn't any offending content in the video nor the comments or the description. Why are you flipping? Chillax.

[robertdevald]

@horsewhisperlad What do you mean by that?

[1XLINEMAN]

Freshman when this was popular.

Sock hops were pretty common.

Got to squeeze the chickiees ( girls under 16)

My wife of 47 years was one of those chickees, stil the only chickee for me.

[robertdevald]

@1XLINEMAN That's so sweet.

[193848663]

i remember when i this came out. it was may 23 or july 23 1957.

[robertdevald]

@193848663 Wow, you remember that well?

[TheHitDetector]

This is fantastic...Brilliant!!!

[robertdevald]

@TheHitDetector Thanks

[Joejoseph888]

1 person cant hop

[robertdevald]

@Joejoseph888 Yeah, definitely. I don't know who would dislike this...

[Joejoseph888]

@robertdevald nowone would dare dislike

[robertdevald]

@twistedwish20 No problem, my grandparents GO CRAZY when they hear this song! I love it very much too, we used to listen to this kind of old Rock n Roll songs in the car when we travelled and it brings back some great memories from years ago. Thanks for commenting!

[PalvoChekov]

@robertdevald That's either rockabilly or rock n' roll doop wop or whatever :) Good times.

[robertdevald]

@PalvoChekov Definitely! Best times in music history!

[twistedwish20]

Thank you for the true version

Or, I suppose the version I remember me and my Grandma rocking out too

[robertdevald]

@twistedwish20 Yeah, I remember the old times when we were in our old Seat car and were traveling then this song we put in. I copied it directly from the CD so that is why it's such an awesome quality. I love this song!

[twistedwish20]

Thank you for the true version

[robertdevald]

@jukedar Agreed.

[robertdevald]

@wilcarr1 I was not aware of that! What an interesting fact! Thanks for commenting!

[jukedar]

This is still a cool song hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wilcarr1]

They were called sock hops in the fifties and sixites since many of the dances were held at highschool gyms and you danced in your socks not to damage the floor.

[robertdevald]

@gmosphere I guess so...

[gmosphere]

by hop you mean club right?

[robertdevald]

@jazz0685 No problem, I thank you for subscribing! Making videos is what I like to do, no need to thank me.

[jazz0685]

I've been looking for this one ...thanks!

[robertdevald]

@genesileikeze thanks for commenting and watching, glad you liked it!

[genesileikeze]

yeah, this is actually the original. awesome and thank you

[Moorkrug]

@robertdevald I wish I would pay more attention to names, but since Danny (of the Juniors) died, a Jerry .......? took the lead. They also performed here in Reno last year (2010) at the HOT AUGUST NIGHTS Event. I liked them better this year.

[Moorkrug]

I`ve just seen them in Reno`s HOT AUGUST NIGHTS.

As old as they are now, they are still a hit performing.

[robertdevald]

@Moorkrug Really? I was not aware of that! I thought they quit or broke up as a group!

[lemonite1]

this is 1957! sounds great.

[robertdevald]

@lemonite1 I know right? It is almost like teleporting back in time! ;)

[lemonite1]

@robertdevald What I can't stand is that there is a re-recorded version that dominates the YT search page. You can tell the difference between a Casio drum machine and a real drummer and a Yamaha keyboard and a real piano.

[spacepatrolman]

@lemonite1 There is a lot of synth rerecords like that its cheaper than highering an orchestra the musicians union was afraid synthesisers would put musicians out of work and they were right this is one of the songs i sang on the street when i was an italian in brooklyn now that im not in brooklyn im not an italian anymore

[sandi43able]

My daughter is now 21 years old and she loves this song

[sandi43able]

I was dancing to this when I was 8 and 1/2 months pregnant

[robertdevald]

@sandi43able Wow, that might not be very good for the baby. I hope he/she turned out okay! Thank you for watching, thanks for being one of the 3000 people who saw this, never thought ANY of my videos would get this far!

[sandi43able]

@robertdevald My daughter weighed 9lb 6oz she is now 21 years old she is just perfect and so is my son

[dogsmumm]

@sandi43able I was born the week this was #1!

[TakeActionFool]

Finally the original recording!

[robertdevald]

@TakeActionFool Yep, from the album "Best of 50's and 60's". Great collection!

[butcherman59]

@TakeActionFool

Yes I agree FINALLY......I ran into about 20 remakes.......LOL!

[robertdevald]

@butcherman59 Yeah, I took this one straight from the CD.

[backlighting]

Great stuff!

[robertdevald]

@backlighting I know, right? Just love the 50's & 60's, not those junks of today!
