If I recall, he had a real nasty rift with Ballard over the Twist.

I got to see Ballard live in the LA area back in 1960 when I was a young Marine. I forget exactly where it was but El Monte had a lot of shows.

Ballard was raunchy as heck, which is why Dick Clark “created” Chubby Checker. But I always liked Ballard’s version better.
