(258) WAS THE TWIST DEAD ? LET'S TWIST AGAIN CHUBBY CHECKERS

Let's twist again like we did last summer !



Chubby Checker was an original rock and roller who performed songs he had written himself. But keep this in mind. Chuck's songs were covered by a great many artists and by 1963 Chuck had made more money from residuals because of the covers other artists did of his music than he did as a performer. When it came to a good song, making money was no obstacle, Black or White.

And thanks to a YouTube video provider, here's a little documentary on American dance circa 1962
