Chubby Checker
Artist Overview
There is no other artist whose place in pop music is as inextricably linked to a dance as Chubby Checker's is to "The Twist." Although the singer also taught millions of teenagers to do "The Fly," "The Pony," "The Hucklebuck," and "The Limbo Rock," Checker is forever connected with twisting and the 1960 version (originally recorded by Hank Ballard) that started the whole craze. Checker would rework the song numerous times during his career, perhaps most humorously on his 1986 collaboration with the Fat Boys entitled "The Twist (Yo', Twist!)."
