Chubby Checker - Hooka Tooka (Original!)

My rule is to not intentionally post anything on YouTube that's already posted however this song is posted twice but both are re-recordings. This is the original version.

@Seazer009 Yeah, I gave up cigarettes over 6 years ago. Stopped cold turkey after what seems like 101 years. I miss them and enjoyed them even though I knew they would eventually kill me. Now I refuse to even take a puff....my nicotine free days mean a lot to me. I don't wanna start over with "1 day". Not because it was all that hard....I just treasure my accomplishment.

I like Chubby Checker. He, like Elvis Presley, was at his top game in NOV1963. Then he saw JFK killed and the Beatles break out and was put out to pasture. Too bad he didn't re-invent himself as a 3d world Reggie Artiste as this song suggests

[9thWardJukeBoxAnX]

@Armydicked I saw Chubby about 12 years ago (ugh, seems like yesterday) at the Treasure Chest Casino in Kenner, LA, a suburb of New Orleans. He sounded and looked great and had maintained a slimmer version of himself. He has a website and appears to perform but at a much more scaled back pace. Sort of crappy to sell his autograph photos on his website but I'm sure he didn't get rich even with all those hits on Parkway Records so I suppose I shouldn't judge him so harshly for that.

How annoying having to look at that web site & blog.

Chambers Brothers did a funked up version of this that made it a whole new song. Funky, funky. I think in the late 60's or early 70's on an album. Wish it was posted here. Great harmonica on the version by the Chambers Brothers.
