Hickory Dickory Rock


Danny Lamego And His Jumpin’ Jacks

Andrea Records – address is 1650 Broadway N.Y.C.

Hickory Dickory Rock
(Bernie Baum-F. Kaye) All Star BMI

Chickenfeed
(Milton Kaye-Joseph. Riccitelli) All Star BMI

1956

Second (and last?) release on the Andrea label. First release was the Harptones, pulled away from Old Town Records by Leo Rogers who had just set up Andrea Records (with new partner Sid Arky).

Danny Lamego and the Jumpin' Jacks had also records on Josie and ABC. Danny Lamego, as Danny Peppermint, had records in the early sixties on Carlton (including an album titled "Twist" and the hit "The Peppermint Twist").

In January 1962, Danny Peppermint was nearly killed when he receives an electric shock from a microphone stand at the Thunderbird Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was rushed to a hospital where he recovers, and didn't died, contrary to the information found in Joel Whitburn's Top Pop singles 1955-1983.




Danny Lamego filmed in 2007
He's alive, but people around don't care.

  3. "Rudy's Rock" was issued on an album on the Forget-Me-Not label (#105) out of New-York, and titled "The Big Weekend". It was recorded live in 4 different clubs, 3 in New Jersey and one in New York in 1964.

    Also possibly issued on a single on the same label? I don't known.
