Chubby Checker/Bobby Rydell – CHUBBY CHECKER & BOBBY RYDELL***

Swingin’ Together/Your Hits & Mine/Jingle Bell Rock/Teach Me To Twist/Side By Side/Jingle Bell Imitations/What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve/My Baby Cares For Me/Voodoo (You Remind Me Of The Guy)/Walkin’ My Baby Back Home

A self titled collaboration from Cameo-Parkway’s two biggest stars, which showcased their very different musical styles and approach on this one off venture. (US:7)

“In December of 1961 they joined forces for a rendition of the Christmas song Jingle Bell Rock. It was a catchy pop take on this classic Christmas song.”

“Two of Cameo-Parkway's biggest artists at the start of the 1960s, the decision to have the pair link up for a joint album proved inspired. There is a sense of fun running through the whole album, most notably on Your Hits & Mine in which Bobby sings the hits of Chubby Checker and vice versa. Throw in a couple of Christmas songs and you have the perfect album for a party, sung by two of the most successful artists of the day.”

“If you like Chubby Checker or Bobby Rydell you would want this in your collection. I like it and I think you can really feel the friendship they had on this album.”
