Chubby Checker

In 2 minutes & 42 Seconds, Chubby Checker revolutionized popular Culture and changed the Music Business forever.

When he appeared on American Bandstand in 1960 and performed “The Twist,” it was the dawn of a new era in Rock and Roll. Dancing Apart to the Beat was born and teenagers found a new way to express themselves. Chubby’s Dance Style has extended from Woodstock thru Disco to the present day. He stands alone as a one of a kind Rock Icon, who has had 36 Hit Records, is the only artist to have a single go to # 1 Twice, and according to Billboard, has the # 1 Single for the whole Decade of the 60’s. Chubby was awarded the first Platinum Single, the first Rock Grammy and has sold an astounding 250,000,000 records over the years. That’s why Dick Clark has said: “The three most important things that ever happened in the Music Industry are Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Chubby Checker.”

In the 21st Century, Chubby Checker’s string of Hit singles; and influence on a whole new generation continues. In 2004, his Radio Disney Hit, “Limbo Remix” was a fixture on the Billboard Dance Chart and remained in the Top 5 for over a year. This success was supplemented with a 2 year Tour of Disney Stations and was played over 30,000 times. Last summer Chubby released “Knock Down The Walls,” which made it’s way to the # 1 Spot on Billboard’s Dance Chart and extended his National Chart Life to 45 plus years – 2nd only to Elvis Presley. A Pop mix of the song found its way into the Top 30 at Adult Contemporary Radio and sparked more renewed interest in the 66 year old Artist. For the first time in 25 years Chubby, Checker will have a Major Label release. RED will issue “All The Best Deluxe 2 CD Set”, which contains Chubby’s re-mastered Greatest Hits along with the New Y2K Hits. Chubby’s latest release is a re-mix of “The Fly”, which was a Top 10 record in 1962. The single also includes an upgraded mix and re-mastering of the classic version of the song. The release date for “The Fly” was July 7, 2009.

Quite simply, Chubby Checker has the # 1 Record of all time – “The Twist.” Billboard Magazine cited him for this honor in 2008 & re-affirmed it in 2013.
