The King Of The Twist
Music Lover: Oldies Fan Since Birth In from
Missouri USA -- June, 20, 2012
Chubby Checker is a music legend & the King of the Twist. I really enjoyed this record. It is a masterpiece of great music. This is what music is all about. Chubby Checker's music is the best for dancing or sitting around a nostalgic malt shop. Chubby Checker with the help of the late, great Dick Clark changed our music world in 1960 with the introduction of the dance known as the Twist. The Limbo Rock is also a great tune & I remember the game they played to that song. Twistin USA, Slow Twistin, & Let's Twist Again are sure to get you dancing all day or all night long. The truth is, all 24 songs on the album are 5 Star hits. You will want to play it over & over again for the rest of your life! I guess growing up with older parents & older grandparents blessed me to know what real music was. This is what should be played at High School dances. This music is so much fun. Grab a copy of this record, it will be the best money you ever spent on music! Chubby Checker, thank you for the music & the memories!

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!
