@danielchance Since Fats Domino came 1st... I always assumed Chubby Checker was just a play on Fats name.
-
@jojobug45 not to contradict ya, but Chubby once said in an interview that he took that name so if he *did* become chubby he would stll be able to fit the name.

I remember back in the late 50's, and in the 60's catching Chubby Checker in his wonderful performances at some of the night clubs in Wildwood, New Jersey. There was no place like Wildwood, N.J. Lot of American Bandstand kids went to Wildwood, N.J. Chubby was a first-class act and had it going on. Thanks for posting misterbok. Dee Dee Sharp was also fantastic.

Aunt Jean was the passenger in Steppin Fetchit's truck in Mad,Mad,Mad,Mad World. She appeared in utube videos: Perry Como sings O Holy Night..dentelTV2. She also toured
with Nat King Cole as a singer and dancer. I would love to see video of that. Thank you
for your interest.

@Joles0 Thanks for that information. I knew she wasn't Dee Dee Sharp. What was her last name and what other recordings was she involved with?

@jojobug45 Every one also smoked, and it was the norm for women to be on pep pills. Yikes. :-o

Dang!!! Wow...over 1/2 century later first time I listened to this song on 45rpm record and now see this on youtube video of this song!! I was dancing to this song as a young boy around 6 or 7 years old and now in middle age...dang..i missed these songs of yesteryears compared to the condescending/disgusting rap and most hip hop songs they play today to these young people today; they are disgusting in language; foul mouth, racist and sexual disgusting in acts and attire.

yo pienso que para ser un buen twister se debe saber bailar twist, y Chubby Checker cumplía con ese requisito. Un artista completo en todo sentido!
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? How could someone dislike this song?!? They should be boiled in hot oil!

Amazing. 50 years ago this is what American considered "chubby." Now his weight is considered the norm. Yikes!
