Ernest Evans. American rock’n’roll vocalist, best known for popularizing the "Twist" dance craze with his 1960 hit cover version of Hank Ballard’s R&B hit “The Twist”. Born October 3, 1941 in Spring Gulley, South Carolina. Rumor has it that Chubby Checker's name was a record label invention, a twist on the ever popular Fats Domino: Domino vs Checker, both game names, and Fats vs Chubby. He is known for popularizing many dance styles, including the Twist, with his 1960 hit cover of Hank Ballard & The Midnighters' R&B song "The Twist", and the Pony, with his 1961 cover of the song "Pony Time". His biggest UK hit, "Let's Twist Again", was released one year later (in 1962).
