Originally recorded more than a decade earlier, "Da Do Ron Ron" had previously made the Top 5 before being revived in a new era. Shaun Cassidy gave it a fresh wave of popularity and introduced it to a whole new generation of fans.
The song appeared fated for the Hardy Boys star from the start. According to Stereogum, as written in Fred Bronson's Billboard Book Of Number 1 Hits, Cassidy was exposed to the song in kindergarten when his bus driver played a top-40 station while students to school.
When Cassidy reached the top of the charts with his version, he and his mother, Shirley Jones, became the first mother and son to have separate top-charting hits on the American singles chart, according to Songfacts. Jones hit No. 1 as part of the Partridge Family with "I Think I Love You " in 1970.
Dolores "La La" Brooks sang lead on the song. She said in an interview, "When I went to the studio to do 'Da Doo Ron Ron,' Phil had taught me the song. When I walked in the studio, all the musicians were there, and after they finished putting down the track, I sat there for hours."
Cassidy followed up the success of "Da Do Ron Ron" with two more Top 10 hits: "That's Rock and Roll," which peaked at No. 3, and "Hey Deanie," which topped out at No. 7.
