Chubby Checker Artist Snapshot:

There is no other artist whose place in pop music is as inextricably linked to a dance as Chubby Checker's is to "The Twist." Although the singer also taught millions of teenagers to do "The Fly," "The Pony," "The Hucklebuck," and "The Limbo Rock," Checker is forever connected with twisting and the 1960 version (originally recorded by Hank Ballard) that started the whole craze. Checker would rework the song numerous times during his career, perhaps most humorously on his 1986 collaboration with the Fat Boys entitled "The Twist (Yo', Twist!)."

The Chubby Checker installment in the Cameo Parkway series, an excellent string of discs highlighting the label's artists from the late 1950s and '60s, will disappoint neither long-time fans nor those looking for a compilation of Chubby's biggest hits. Naturally, "The Twist" is here, as are all of the singer's follow-up cash-ins ("Let's Twist Again;" "Slow Twistin,'" etc.), and a host of other dance-craze songs ("The Hucklebuck;" "Limbo Rock," "The Fly"). The mood is light, buoyant, and fun throughout, as anyone familiar with any of Checker's singles would assume. Excellent sound and liner notes make this a fine choice for anyone seeking a one-stop set of Checker's best moments.
