When the song began to take off locally, it was brought to Chubby Checker's attention, and he covered it right away. Chubby's version went all the way to number one and stayed on the charts for sixteen weeks in 1961. In the fall of 1961, record industry history was made, when Checker's original hit record, "The Twist", re-entered the charts and by funk January of 1962, it was back in the number one position. No other record before funk or since has accomplished that feat. Combining funk it's 1960 run with it's 1961/62 return, "The Twist" spent an amazing nine month total on the U.S. best seller charts. Chubby Checker merchandise was everywhere, and included, T-shirts, shoes, ties, dolls, rain coats, and chewing gum. His success continued for years with the release of one dance record after another, with, "The Fly" and "Let's Twist Again", for which he won a Grammy for the "Best Rock Performance".
