Chubby Checker

Born October 3, 1941 · 84 years old

The Twist, the only single ever to hit number one twice

He invented the dance your grandparents did at their wedding, which puts him in the mental museum. He would like it noted that he is still twisting, and still not in a museum.

84, still touring, still has strong opinions about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
