I lived in NJ and once you had a draft card and drivers license that proved you were 18 you could travel to NY and go to the nightclubs. It was Sept 1961 and my “gang” and I went to The Peppermint lounge to hear and dance to Chubby Checker! There was a $5.00 cover and beer was $2.50 a bottle! It was GREAT! WE bought home napkins and glasses to prove our foray and we were heros of our Senior Class!
Re #2: She’s beautiful but who is the guy?
Just kidding.
Missed seeing Chubby a few weeks ago due to surgery.
The Twist! Twist Again! The Hucklebuck (we did it in the 60’s), HitchHike!, and the list goes on.
He created more dances than any other rock singer of that period.
PS: Play some of the B sides/Flip Side songs. not bad.
