In The early 60's magic was in the air...Hula Hoops...John F. Kennedy...And "The Twist."

1959

Born Ernest Evans, a Young Philadelphian entertainer makes his first appearance on "American Bandstand." Dick Clark's wife, noting a resemblance to another popular singer, Fats Domino, re-names him "Chubby Checker."

1960

A year later, Kal Mann and Bernie Lowe of Cameo/Parkway Records, having seen Chubby Checker's performance, convince him to record a Hank Ballard tune, "The Twist." The rest, as they say, is history. Chubby Checker returns repeatedly to "American Bandstand", and "The Twist" rockets to number on the charts where it remains for 18 weeks.

Combining an R & B musical arrangement with an appealing "Pop" sound, "The Twist" launches a worldwide dance craze and establishes a tradition that reaches from the Watusi of the 60's into discos of the 70's and 80's.

1961-64

"The Twist" remains on the charts for two years, returning, incredibly, to the number one position in January 1962. In the meantime Chubby Checker places 14 songs in the Top Twenty, with 6 songs in the Top Five, including "Pony Time," "Limbo Rock," "Slow Twistin," "The Fly" and of course "The Twist."

No other artist captures the spirit of the dancing 60's like Chubby Checker. This volume captures that magic "Twistin" sound again.
