The Twist was the major dance craze born of rock and roll. The song it inspired was performed originally by Hank Ballard. But you probably remember twisting to Chubby Checker’s smash hit cover version. It was so big that Check cashed in with follow-ups like “Let’s Twist Again,” “Twistin’ U.S.A.,” “Slow Twistin’,” “La Paloma Twist,” “Teach Me to Twist” and “Twist It Up.”
