La Paloma Twistby Chubby Checker

Artist Bio:
Chubby Checker is an American singer and songwriter best known for popularizing the dance style known as the Twist with his 1960 hit cover of Hank Ballard's R&B song "The Twist." The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and sparked a worldwide dance craze. Checker's follow-up singles, such as "Let's Twist Again" and "Pony Time," also achieved commercial success, solidifying his status as a prominent figure in the early 1960s music scene.

Born Ernest Evans on October 3, 1941, in South Carolina, Checker adopted his stage name as a play on the name of another famous musician, Fats Domino. Over the course of his career, Checker has continued to perform and record music, although he is primarily remembered for his contributions to the Twist phenomenon. His impact on popular culture and dance music has earned him a lasting legacy as a pioneering artist in the early rock and roll era.
