Chubby Checker, King of the Twist, in London
Aug. 08, 1962 - Chubby Sits This One Out. Chubby Checker, 20 year old, 14 stone King of the Twist, visited the Radio Show at Earls Court soon after his arrival by air this afternoon, and said he was too tired to perform on the BBC Stage Stand as promised. Here on a 15 day concert tour starting on Sunday at Blackpool, his latest record Dancing Party is currently in the Top Twenty. Officials at the airport searched for an hour when the twister found that he didn't have his music with him. I can do it by ear if necessary he replied. As a minor, the State of Pennsylvania look after his finances. When I'm 21 on October 3, the first thing I'll buy will be a Rolls he said. Photo Shows: Chubby sits this one out at the Radio Show. Perhaps he's thinking of the Rolls already
