	VH1.com : Chubby Checker : Biography - Urge Music Downloads
		Checker's first single, "The Class," showcased his skills as an impressionist; while the record became a minor novelty hit, none of its immediate follow-ups were successful.
		In 1960, however, he recorded "The Twist," a cover of a 1958 Hank Ballard & the Midnighters B-side; Checker's rendition de-emphasized the original's overtly sexual overtones, focusing instead on the song's happy-go-lucky charms.
		In total, Checker notched 32 chart hits before the bubble burst in 1966; as interest in dance novelties dwindled, he briefly turned to folk music, and became a regular on the nightclub circuit.

		On their biggest record, "Voice Was Choice" (1964), the members were McAlister, Wallace Sampson, and Leonard Caston.
		Recorded at the Fame Studios in Muscles Shoals, AL, the production is so tight that the vocals and the instrumentation literally explode from the compelling, shuffling track that reaches its zenith with a gut-wrenching "Lord Have Mercy" near the end.
		Chess is lauded for their recordings, and should be, they waxed some remarkable sides, but none of their artists enjoyed long careers, and few had album releases.

		Abramson leased it to Checker Records and watched it sail to the upper reaches of the pop charts in early 1964.
		A terrific Checker LP and a trip to Great Britain were among the immediate upshot for the organist.
		Abramson admirably stuck by his protégé, recording him anew for at least another decade, but most of the mixed results just gathered dust in his vaults.

	Mar/Apr Gazette: "No Other Life"
		The first record I heard by Chubby Checker was in the summer of 1959, not too long before Mario Lanza died, when he cut “The Class” for Cameo-Parkway Records.
		Chubby Checker was, essentially, not an R-and-B act; he was not associated with fl popular music, so, in a sense, he was a kind of raceless fl man. In any case, Checker made a hasty cover of the tune at Cameo-Parkway for Dick Clark’s American Bandstand show.
		We were amazed that someone we knew had a hit record, was a recording star.

		In 1968 Leonard and Phil sold Chess Records to GRT (General Recorded Tapes) and this was the beginning of the end for Chess.
		Paramount Records came about in the 1920s as a blues and jazz pioneer that was the low-budget, sideline operation of the family-owned Wisconsin Chair Company.
