Chubby Checker Quotations

I am the Alexander Graham Bell of the phone company, the Christopher Columbus of America because after 'The Twist' everything changed, .. Watch the films from 1958 up to 1959, and watch American Bandstand during that time. After the song came out, everything was different.

Everybody in the '80s, well, we hate rap. Now, the biggest rapper in the world... Eminem. Rap's a black thing.

The gist of the Twist is chiefly in the hips

Ever see a little kid walking around talking to himself? I'm the same way.

My outlet is my music, and it's been this way since I was 4 years old.

When I'm onstage they know I'm honest, and I try to be as humble as I can.

Dancing, apart to music with a beat, is my legacy.

I want my flowers while I'm alive.

I compare the Twist to the electric light, The Twist is me, and Im it. Im the electric light.

Do you realize that I have had five albums in the Top 30. Elvis and The Beatles have never done that. I had five singles in the Top 5, I mean, no one's ever done that.
