While I am not the biggest supporter for Chubby Checker becoming a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it is tough to argue against his induction. Even though he covered Hank Ballard and the Midnighters' "The Twist," he created one of the most popular and successful songs ever (it is still the #1 all-time leader on the Billboard Hot 100 chart history). He created the famous "Twist" dance and personified dance music in the early 1960s. With artists like Percy Sledge (who let's face Sledge is a one-hit wonder with the song "When a Man Loves a Woman" is probably the least deserving inductee in the history of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; Yes, Sledge had one great song but lacks any influence on future artists) enshrined in the Rock Hall, it is tough to argue against an eventual induction for Checker. Checker definitely has just as much influence (if not more) than Sledge. While it's true that Checker is not a one-hit wonder (he had several other top 40 hits in the early 1960s), how many people can name another song of his besides "The Twist"? Very, very few. This is a similar problem for Sledge and often why he becomes an instant target for fans to criticize the Rock Hall for inducting someone who "isn't worthy."

Checker's recent demand for eventual induction can be thought of as a double-edged sword because he will get media attention and perhaps some support from other inductees and committee members. The problem is that the nominees for the 2015 ballot aren't for several months, so this will quickly fade away when the committee decides later this year. However, history has not been kind to Checker, in terms of even securing a nomination with the Rock Hall. If Checker was nominated in the early years of the Rock Hall (1986-1995), he would have had a much better shot of an induction. However, he stands very little chance as the nominating committee seems to be favoring more contemporary artists on recent ballots (the 2014 induction for performers only had artists from the 1970s onward). This will become the new norm for the Rock Hall with the exception of some deserving 1950s/1960s artists who aren't already inducted (The Zombies and Link Wray immediately come to mind). Sadly, the question of Checker's influence on Rock music is what his proponents argue against his nomination. Plus, there are several artists from the 1990s who will become eligible such as Green Day, Nine Inch Nails, Pearl Jam and Radiohead and easily garner nominations (and become inductees). With such a great and diverse selection nominees on recent ballots (especially the 2014 ballot), it is becoming tougher and tougher to predict inductions because almost all of them certainly warrant an eventual induction. With less artists of the 1950s and 1960s becoming inductees in recent years, Checker's chances now aren't great.

The perception by many, including myself at times, is that Checker is simply a novelty singer with one major hit and not a lot more to work with. The Rock Hall clearly does not take Checker seriously, they would have at least nominated him already otherwise. I hope he secures a nomination on the 2015 ballot, but at this point Checker's chances are slim unless he gets some supports from a current Hall of Famer or a nominating committee member.

Posted by BulmaPunkRocker on Monday, 07/7/2014 @ 00:56am

Yes, Nick, he had one major hit. But man, what a hit--still played by disc jockeys at parties across the country, still danced to by, what, three generations of rock music fans. Bulma, I had a hard time believing myself that he wasn't already inducted. If anyone on the nominating committee is reading these posts, please throw your support behind Chubby Checker.

There are many changes taking place in the Rock Hall and the latest news is not good. Of course, Chubby Checker should be inducted! As a Founding Member, I am so disappointed. Please read this article.

Regardless how members of his band feel, Chubby Checker is deserving of induction. His version of The Twist is still played at weddings and other celebrations. I've written in the past. Now, that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has acknowledged the importance of "The Twist", they should induct the one person who made the dance craze what it was! People from 8 to 80 (and older) can't help but dance when they hear this song.

Posted by Kariann Hart on Monday, 05/28/2018 @ 02:04am

No to Chubby Checker - a Rock and Roll ICON?????

People do not remember that Hank Ballard wrote the song. He used it as a b-side commonly referred to as a throw away song because it was expected that no one would want to listen to it. Well Chubby Checker showed how stupid they were to do that. Chubby Checker is who people remember.

Hank Ballard was inducted in 1990 -what a slapin the face

Last year the nc put the Twist in a ne single cat- again a slap in the face.

The nc needs to stop f'n around and clean up its act. Stop nominating non r&r and boderline r&r artist. The nc needs to do their duty and honor r&r artist as this hall is supposed to.

Posted by Michael on Sunday, 10/14/2018 @ 16:34pm

Chubby Checker is the only artist to have a song go to #1 on the Billboard hot 100 pop charts, then go completely off the charts and return to the Billboard pop charts and reach #1 again! He also holds a number of records. It would be a shame if they wait until he dies before putting him in the Rock Hall. (he just turned 77)

Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 02/20/2019 @ 06:13am

It is my belief that Chubby Checker will be inducted after he passes away. For some reason, the Rock Hall doesn't want him to enjoy all the fuss induction would bring. I was angry that they waited until Donna Summer passed on before inducting her (after 7 previous attempts). I hope I'm around to see it. He is a good entertainer.

Posted by Antoinette on Thursday, 06/13/2019 @ 00:36am

I fear you're right Antoinette. But I think even then they might still not. But they definitely don't wanna put up with the venom he'd unleash, it wouldn't be a thank-you speech, it'll be a f*** you speech.

Chubby's neglect is a great travesty. Hit after hit, the only artist to place a song (The Twist) twice at number one, that great Cameo-Parkway back-up band, a Dick Clark push, fun danceable music. Chubby's Philly rock started the whole dance craze. Plus, there's many, many artists in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame who aren't even rock and roll.
Let's do this while the man is still alive.

Posted by The Rev.bIGhIG on Thursday, 05/14/2020 @ 23:31pm

I am honestly surprised that Chubby Checker is not even mentioned in the snubs in this FRL site. He may have been around for only one craze, but it was a big one. I have a feeling he will be, like Lou Reed, Donna Summer and others, inducted posthumously. I hope not.

Posted by Joe on Thursday, 10/15/2020 @ 03:11am

This is a crime! Chubby needs to be in the rock and roll hall of fame . I am a white guy and in an important time when BLM we need to right the wrongs and the hall of fame is no different. Do the right thing, he is 79 years old, and deserves this honor

Bobby Rydell and Chubby Checker charted an album together in 1962

1962 # 7 - Bobby Rydell/Chubby Checker

Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 04/6/2022 @ 08:09am

Chubby Checker made Hank Ballard's song an international hit. If Mr. Ballard is in the Hall of Fame so should be the man who who made "The Twist" a hit. Some people call Chubby Checker a novelty act. That is cold. He had other Top 10 Hits in his career. Some people act that The Twist was his only success. Other big time artists recorded Twist songs, like Sam Cooke or even The Isley Brothers. In fact didn't The Beatles have an international hit with "Twist & Shout" originally done by the Isley Brothers? None of these other successes may never have transpired is Chubby Checker's record failed. The Twist was big business. Jackie Kennedy & other famous celebrities frequented The Peppermint Lounge to dance the night away, among other things. Joey Dee & The Starlighters who performed at The Peppermint Lounge had a hit record called "The Peppermint Twist." One of the bands members was future Oscar winner Joe Pesci. Who knows mabye Mr. Pesci never gets the chance to get noticed if Chubby Checker's recording of " The Twist" was a flop.
In closing Chubby Checker was not a hack. The man could sing as well as dance. His main single helped create millions of dollars of revenue for the music industry , not to mention all of those classic Hollywood films that used the word Twist in the title to manuver young & old people into the movie theaters.
One last thing if the committee who chooses which artists get into the Hall is so high & mighty about protecting their sacred institution & it's integrity, I wish to know how George Clinton & Funkadellia got voted in? ( My personal opinion).

Posted by Jason Voigt on Wednesday, 02/12/2025 @ 10:31am

I thought Chubby Checker was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame a long time ago because the song "The Twist" was from the 1960s.

Chubby Checker's nomination is a good sign. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not finished with nominating 50s-60s acts in the main performers category. One per year I guess. Jan & Dean, and the Monkees, should be next. Chubby Checker has tons of support. He will get inducted this year. No special category! The fact that Chubby Checker is doing better than The Black Crowes, Outkast, Mariah Carey, Oasis, The White Stripes, Joy Division/New Order, and Mana, on the fan poll, says a lot!!

Chequered! is a studio album released by American singer Chubby Checker. Released by London Records in 1971, it is notable for being a stylistically different approach for Checker, opting for the more psychedelic sound that was popular at the time. It was produced by Ed Chalpin, who was known for giving Jimi Hendrix his first recording contract.

The album did not sell well in its initial release, but it was eventually reissued several times throughout various European markets under different names, such as New Revelation, The Other Side of Chubby Checker, or simply Chubby Checker. In 2012, the original album was reissued by Sunbeam Records.

Chubby has got to be the eldest RRHOF inductee to get in as a Performer! Overall, I think Harry Belafonte was inducted as the eldest inductee at 95 (he died less than a year later). Chubby by comparison is just 84 or will be this year if he's not already (just checked, still 83, his birthday isn't until October).

Chubby Checker has 247 songs, and only 30 of them have the word "Twist" in the title.

Chubby Checker is skipping the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony because he has a concert that day. I wonder now how they are going to handle his induction. Will they have a full video package? Will there be a presenter? Steven Van Zandt will be pissed off? Will someone perform Chubby Checker songs?

He also said, when you get older you don't want the same things you wanted when you were younger.

They are going to show this acceptance speech and performance at the induction ceremony for sure.

It was Ron Onesti, manager of the Des Moines Theatre where the performance happened. Onesti was the one who presented Checker with his trophy.

Might not be the biggest addtion to the Music Hall of Muscians but Chubby made his mark and almost single handedly kicked off the 'dance" craze. There are hunderds of Twist-themed tunes out there. Twist and Shout out to Hank Ballard (Midnighters) for writing this seminal track. Fun fact, Dick Clark's wife, suggested the monikor 'Chubby Checker" in reference to fellow artist, Fats Domino.
