A wondeful man indeed. I knew him for a brief period in the late 1980s. His original version of "The Twist" was very similar to Chubby's, but just a bit edgier, and it was Hank's edginess that made Dick Clark more comfortable with the Chubby Checker approach. "The Twist" was in fact the B side of a song called "Teardrops On Your Letter." RIP, Hootchy-Kootchy Koo man.
