It's amazing that this side was the hit (here in Boston) even though it was great. The flip of the Twist was played a little but not as much as it was when Chubby took it all the way. I understand that Hank's Twist was only a hit in Texas and Baltimore when it first came out.

Been flipping between Brook Benton's 'Only just a matter of time' and this tune. Do I hear some similarities there? Well what do you know.

WHAT CAN A GUY SAY ABOUT HANK, . JUST THE BEST MUSIC EVER. PORKY CHEDWICK WAS THE ONLY DJ IN PITTSBURGH , WAMO, PLAYING THE HANK BALLARD SOUNDS IN THOSE DAYS. WE KNEW AND LOVE HANK BALLARD BECAUSE OF PORKY

Your right this side hit first in SF, but that's
because this was the A side (the one King records promoted) and 'The Twist'
was the B side or the throw away side.
I lived thru this era in the SF Bay Area and we
almost always got it right on what musically
was the better side.
Only when 'The Twist' became a dance craze by Chubby Checker, did anyone go back and
listen to Hank Ballard's original.
I agree Hank Ballard and the Midnighters
should be in the 'Hall of Fame' together

I find it amazing that I can't find "The Twist" on YouTube by Hank Ballard. Please, somebody post it. It was a much better version than C. Checker's cover. Thanks

@Jinnylee2000 Its probably not posted because it has been copyrighted.....Youtube is very anal about that.They removed a few songs i have posted in the past!!!

Very underrated song. I'm glad to see that some people are looking at some of the more underrated artists from one of the best eras for music.
