Chubby Checker

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The unrivaled king of the rock & roll dance craze, Chubby Checker is still twisting. In the early '60s he had a string of chart-topping hits including "The Twist," "Limbo Rock" and "Let's Twist Again," and gave birth to several dances including the Pony, the Fly, and the Hucklebuck, to cite just three. He joins us as his public service campaign about Medicare benefits is hitting the airwaves.

Chubby Checker's engagement at Feinstein's begins Tuesday, March 23 at 8:30 p.m. More information here.
