They say Chubby Checker got his stage name from Dick Clark’s wife who thought he looked like Fats Domino. Therefore, Fats was changed to Chubby and Domino to Checker. He was the king of the Twist, the Pony, the Hucklebuck, the Fish, the Fly and numerous other dance crazes of the 60s. However, it’s one of his lesser-known 45s that is worth the most money. A copy of “The Twist” on Parkway Records might fetch $30.00 today but his little-known single on Parkway from 1966 called “You Just Don’t Now” can sell for $800.00. Make it up to $1,500.00 for a promo copy as seen here.
