Our Take

Ol' Chubby Checker, the man who made twisting your hips into a socially acceptable form of exercise. His latest collection, spanning the years 1959-62, is a nostalgic trip down memory lane - a time when rock 'n' roll was king and Checker was the reigning dance floor champion.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you're transported back to a time of greased hair, poodle skirts, and soda fountain milkshakes. Checker's smooth vocals and infectious energy are enough to make even the most stubborn wallflower want to get up and dance.

The album is a mix of Checker's biggest hits, including the iconic "The Twist" and "Let's Twist Again". These tracks are like time capsules, capturing the essence of a bygone era where music was simple, yet irresistibly catchy.

But don't let the nostalgia fool you - Checker's music is timeless. His blend of rock 'n' roll and rhythm and blues still holds up today, proving that good music never goes out of style.

Overall, The Chubby Checker Collection 1959-62 is a must-have for any music lover looking to add a touch of retro charm to their collection. So dust off those dancing shoes and prepare to twist the night away with the legendary Chubby Checker.
