AM America was a morning news program produced by ABC in an attempt
to compete with Today on NBC. The show never found an audience after its
premiere. Lasting just under ten months, its final installment aired on October
31, 1975.

Danny And The Juniors‘ Rock ‘n’ Roll classic "At The Hop" was originally written
as "Do the Bop", American Bandstand host Dick Clark suggested the group re-
write the lyrics because the dance known as The Bop was on its way out. Clark
was right and the quartet’s record stayed in the top spot for a month.
