Chubby Checker
Chubby Checker, whose real name is Ernest Evans, grew up in South Philadelphia where he lived with his parents and his two brothers. After his mom brought Chubby to see Sugar Child Robinson, a child piano prodigy and the famous country singer Ernest Tubb, young Ernest Evans (Chubby) vowed to enter show business and took his first step toward that goal by forming a street corner harmony group when he was only 11 years old.
By the time Chubby entered high school, he had learned to play the piano a little at Settlement Music School and he could do several vocal impressions. While working at Fresh Farm Poultry, Ernest’s boss at the produce market, Tony A., gave Ernest the nickname of “Chubby.” Henry Colt, the owner of Fresh Farm Poultry, was so impressed that began showing off his employee to his customers through a loudspeaker. Henry and his friend Kal-Mann arrange for young Chubby to do a private recording for Dick Clark. Chubby sang, “Jingle Bells” for Dick Clark and the song was sent out as a Christmas greeting to all his friends and associates in the music business. Cameo-Parkway liked it so much that they wrote a song called “The Class” and it became Chubby’s first hit in early 1959.
"The Twist" was not only the #1 song, but it introduced the concept of "dancing apart to the beat". Over the next few years, endless songs incorporating "The Twist" into its name sprang up such as "Peppermint Twist", "Twist and Shout" and "Twistin' the Night Away". In addition, each new song brought a new dance involving "dancing apart to the beat" such as "The Jerk", "The Hully Gully", "The Boogaloo" and "The Shake". At the forefront was Chubby with "The Fly", "The Pony" and "The Hucklebuck".
The next few years were prolific for Chubby as hit followed hit. In 1961, Chubby recorded "Pony Time" written by Don Covay and John Berry. It went to #1 and stayed on the charts for 16 weeks. In between recording and touring, Chubby took time to add feature films to his portfolio with the releases of "Don't Knock the Twist" and "Twist Around the Clock".
In the fall of 1961, record industry history was made when Checker's original hit record, "The Twist", re-entered the charts and by January of 1962, it was back in the #1 position. No other record before or since has accomplished that feat. Combining its 1960 run with its 1961/62 return, "The Twist" spent an amazing nine-month total on the U. S. best seller charts.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio rewarded Chubby in July of 2008 with a special award presentation. An honored Chubby thrilled a fervent crowd by performing his hits, new and old, to the delight of everyone. A lengthy photo and autograph session followed, which highlighted Chubby's favorite part, getting to interact with people.
As Chubby's touring continued, 2009 took Chubby abroad including special shows in Germany (2010) as well as his annual appearances at Disneyworld. 2009 also marked the release of an updated version of The Fly. A younger generation now shook their hands as the dance reappeared in clubs.
Now we have entered the 50th Anniversary Year of The Twist. Special ceremonies have taken place in front of City Hall in Philadelphia and Wildwood, N.J. and the 50th Anniversary Tour continues along with a Chubby Checker cruise in May 2011.
What keeps this artist going? According to Chubby, "It's the fans. The energy I get from singing and dancing with all these people over the years is unlike anything else I experience. I never want it to end."
