Perhaps he will yet realize his wish. In March 2004, Seymour Stein, a member of the selection committee, noted in an interview that Chubby Checker “…is someone who will be considered. He has in certain years…” (“Chubby Checker’s ‘Twisted’ Protest”). 1950 Chubby Checker is 1950 not shy about assessing his impact and the impact of the Twist on the world of music. He once said: “I compare the Twist to the electric light…The Twist 1950 is me, and I’m it. I’m the electric light” (Cannon). In a 1997 interview, Checker again assessed his impact on the music world, commenting: “Dancing apart to music with a beat is my legacy” (Knapp). More recently, in 2003, the singer commented: “In two minutes and forty-two seconds, we changed the world” (Infield). Ron Mann, who filmed a 1993 documentary entitled ‘Twist,’ perhaps best summarizes Chubby Checker’s contributions to the world of rock and roll.
