This signed sheet music is for The Twist by Chubby Checker, autographed by the rock and roll legend himself. Originally written and recorded by Hank Ballard in 1959, The Twist skyrocketed to fame when Chubby Checker released his own version in 1960. With its simple yet irresistible dance instructions and Checker’s enthusiastic performance, the song became a cultural phenomenon. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 not once but twice—first in 1960, and again in 1962, making it the only single in history to top the chart in two separate runs. More than just a hit song, The Twist launched a global dance craze that defined an era, influencing countless other dance hits and becoming a symbol of early 1960s pop culture. Chubby Checker (born Ernest Evans, 1941) became a household name through The Twist and went on to release a string of popular dance songs, including Pony Time, Let’s Twist Again, and The Fly. His charismatic style and knack for popularizing dances made him one of the most influential figures in early rock and roll. Decades later, his impact on music and dance culture remains unmatched, with The Twist recognized by Billboard as the biggest chart hit of all time. Owning this signed sheet music for The Twist is more than holding an autograph—it is possessing a piece of American pop culture history. For fans of early rock and roll, collectors of dance era memorabilia, and admirers of Chubby Checker’s lasting influence, this artifact captures the joy and legacy of one of the most important songs of the 20th century.
