Chubby Checker

Chubby Checker was one of the most popular early rock and roll musicians. He is best known for his hit The Twist, the longest lasting of the dance crazes of the fifties and sixties. He had several other hit singles. He has been considered for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before but not chosen, likely because he has been considered a one-hit wonder. He was the first major artist to perform the Super Bowl halftime show, beginning a tradition that has continued for decades.
