Darts was a nine-piece British doo-wop revival ensemble that garnered chart success in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Hailing from London, the group achieved several UK top 20 hits, including three consecutive number twos, with revitalized renditions of early U.S. rock and roll and R&B classics.
Formed in 1976 by Den Hegarty, Griff Fender, Rita Ray, and Horatio Hornblower, all former members of Rocky Sharpe and the Razors, along with Thump Thompson, George Currie, and John Dummer, formerly of John Dummer's Blues Band. The lineup was rounded out by Hammy Howell and ex-Mickey Jupp vocalist Bob Fish. Their breakthrough came after an appearance on Charlie Gillet's show on BBC Radio London in October 1976, leading to a recording contract with Magnet Records and collaboration with producer Tommy Boyce, known for his work with The Monkees.
With a repertoire of 1950s rock and roll hits, they achieved their first UK hit in December 1977 with a medley of "Daddy Cool" and "The Girl Can't Help It". Subsequent hits in 1978 included covers of "Come Back My Love" and "The Boy from New York City", along with the original song "It's Raining". These singles all reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, collectively selling 1.25 million copies.
Following Hegarty's departure in September 1978, Kenny Andrews joined the band. Further hits followed in 1978 and 1979, including "Don't Let It Fade Away" and "Get It". They also covered Gene Chandler's "Duke of Earl", produced by Roy Wood. Their last significant hit came in 1980 with a cover of The Four Seasons' "Let's Hang On!".
The lineup saw changes in 1980, with Duncan Kerr and Keith Gotheridge joining, and Rob Davis briefly contributing before focusing on songwriting and production. By 1983, the group transitioned to theatre work, appearing in productions like Yakety Yak.
Den Hegarty later became a television presenter, notably on the children's program Tiswas, while Fender and Ray managed and produced The Mint Juleps, an a cappella girl group.
Darts remains listed in the Top 500 selling acts, according to the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles.

THE DARTS (US) is an all-girl garage-psych-rock supergroup composed of Nicole Laurenne (The Love Me Nots, Motobunny, Zero Zero), Rikki Styxx (The Two Tens, The Dollyrots, Thee Outta Sites), Christina Nunez (The Love Me Nots, Casual Encounters, The Madcaps), and Michelle Balderrama (Brainspoon).
Formed in early 2016, the band emerged when Nicole and Michelle, having observed each other's bands for years, decided to collaborate on songwriting. With six songs prepared, Rikki and Michelle recorded their contributions in Los Angeles, while Nicole and Christina recorded theirs in Phoenix. Producer Bob Hoag then skillfully blended the tracks, resulting in two dynamic 10” vinyl EPs brimming with garage riffs, girl-group harmonies, fuzz bass, farfisa organ, powerful drum fills, and a captivating lo-fi-turned-hi-fi vibe.
Following their October 2016 debut, the singles “Running Through Your Lies” and “Revolution” received immediate radio airplay, with “Take What I Need” earning recognition as "The Coolest Song In The World" by Sirius/XM’s Underground Garage channel. The band's inaugural live performance took place in October 2016, leading to a subsequent signing with London’s Dirty Water Records.

This is one of the greatest late-night Kar Kruzin records of all times. (I always thought this would be great in 4 channels so that each guy could come over their own separate speakers) Great, great 50's sound!!!!
Mrfunkyfilmore
I LOVE this one!!! I have the 45 and play it often!!!
Eric Little
This sounds like "AT The Hop" with a flash of "Shout! Shout! Knock Yourself Out!" at the end. Still a really groovy tune!!! Love it!!!!

"Rock and Roll is Here To Stay" by Danny and The Juniors was released in 1958 on the ABC-Paramount label. It very well may have been reissued on some other label in 1964, but the original release was 1958.
Mary Galyon
Let's rock. This is great.
Daniel Kubacki
Cool song.
CrisVangel1958
What a label this is cool just to only hear it!
Asko Varjorinne
Woooov that midnighjt!! 👉👉🎶🎶💥💥
Richard Smith
This has to ber a small label pickup by Fury because it is not the type of record that Booby Robinson would make. Sounds like it must be Philly. Released in 1958.
Charles Rice
Sounds like someone burned the "MIDNIGHT" , no pun intended ,oil to figure out how to make a rip off of Danny And The Juniors . BOY !!!! must have been a real brain burner for sure !!!! CHEERS !!!!!!
