I'm NOT a fan of Chubby Checker. I had just completed two years of P.B. Myrick's Dancing School, every Sunday afternoon, in Cincinnati Ohio in 1960, and was ready to waltz, rumba, jitterbug, foxtrot, tango, cha cha, mambo, merengue etc with all the good-looking 12 year old boys at all the Bar Mitzvah parties just ready to begin. BOOM!! but The Twist came along and whoosh, all the other dances went completely away. --Linda
