Chubby Checker (born Ernest Evans; October 3, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter. He also popularized the dance style Twist, with his 1960 hit cover of Hank Ballard's R&B hit The Twist . In September 2008, The Twist topped Billboard's list of the most popular singles to have appeared in the Hot 100 since its debut in 1958.[1]
Checker introduced his version of The Twist in July 1960 on The Clay Cole Show, a local New York City television program broadcast live from Palisades Amusement Park. The Twist went on to become the only single to top the Billboard Hot 100 twice, in two separate chart runs. (Bing Crosby's White Christmas had done so on Billboard's earlier chart.)
The Twist had previously peaked at #16 on the Billboard rhythm and blues chart, in the 1959 version recorded by its author, Hank Ballard, whose band The Midnighters first performed the dance on stage. Checker's Twist , however, was a nationwide smash. The song was so ubiquitous that Checker felt that his critics thought that he could only succeed with dance records typecasting him as a dance artist. Checker later lamented:
