Description by OLDIES.com:
Of course, "The Twist" is included; it's the song that went to #1 on the charts in two different years - 1961 and 1962 - a feat unprecedented and never repeated in Billboard chart history. Chubby's other dance hits that are all here including "The Hucklebuck," "Pony Time," "The Fly," "Limbo Rock," and of course, "Let's Twist Again." Duets with labelmates Dee Dee Sharp ("Slow Twistin'") and Bobby Rydell ("Jingle Bell Rock") are also among the 24 tracks that comprise The Best Of Chubby Checker.
Product Description:

Unknown Contributor Role: Kenneth Salinsky. Arrangers: Dave Appell; Dave Stephens. 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.

Music Lover: CHARLIE CARTER from WESTLAKE, OH US -- March, 8, 2006
Their is only one Chubby Checker CD to have and this is it, the Original Parkway recordings that we all danced to for decades. All the dances that Chubby bought to the dance floor are included in this must have CD.

It's finally available. A greatest hits package, digitally remastered by the owners of the Cameo/ Parkway catalog. It's a great collection of Chubby's hits on Parkway Records. He had many hits and this set proves it. Highly recommended!
