The King of Twist, Chubby Checker piled up a succession of hit LPs in the early 1960s. For Twisters Only features his dance versions of several 1950s rock & roll hits. (US:8 UK:17)
“The early sixties were a time of experimentation, particularly in the field of dance. The most successful dance to emerge from that period was The Twist, and songs about it are what Chubby Checker is remembered for.”
“The supreme Chubby Checker was unsurpassed as 'The King of The Twist' dance craze and unleashed some enduring pop music.”
“For Twisters Only features a mix of familiar songs and obscurities. The familiar songs include covers of rock 'n' roll classics such as Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin’ On (a minor American hit for Chubby Checker) and a couple of Bill Haley songs.”
