It's Pony Time with Chubby Checker

Chubby sang many kinds of funny dances as the 60's was fresh, all of them seems variations on the theme of Twist. Since we on a swing school took some lessons in burlesque steps, I realise the moves 'n shimmies fits quite well with twist.

This is his third album in box "CHUBBY CHECKER : 5 classic albums plus bonus..." from Real Gone Music. Not that Chubby sings like Elvis at all, I think rather Ray Charles or Chuck Berry. But the kind of rhytm & blues accomp. close to boogie, brings back much of what Elvis also did. Even if he did everything, while Checker did "just this".
