In two minutes and 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 ‘n’ Roll.

He stands alone as a one-of-a-kind Rock icon who has 36 hit records, the only artist to have a single go to No. 1 twice and, according to Billboard, has the No. 1 single for the entire decade of the 1960s, as well as the first No. 1 Single of All Time.

Checker was awarded the first Platinum Single, the first Rock GRAMMY Award and has sold an astounding 250,000,000 records over the years. That’s why Dick Clark said, “The three most important things that ever happened in the music industry are Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Chubby Checker.”

Every time Checker steps onto a stage, he demonstrates charisma and a unique quality that can never be equaled. Chubby Checker is the most exciting performer out there, and he only gets better with time!

“We give [the audience] more than just a show; we give them a memory,” Checker said. “We give them an emotional contact that they don’t get anywhere else, and I know that because I’m the only guy that gets to do what I do…Maybe that’s why [The Big E] asked us to come back; there’s something that we’re doing that’s not out there.”
