In addition, each new song brought a new dance involving “dancing apart to the beat” such as “The Jerk”, “The Hully Gully”, “The Boogaloo” lobby card and “The Shake”. At the forefront was Chubby with “The Fly”, “The Pony” and “The Hucklebuck”. The next few years were prolific for Chubby as hit followed hit. In 1961, Chubby recorded “Pony lobby card Time” written by Don Covay and John Berry. It went to #1 and stayed on the charts for 16 weeks. In lobby card between recording and touring, Chubby took time to add feature films to his portfolio with the releases of “Don’t Knock The Twist” and “Twist Around The Clock”. In the fall of 1961, record industry history was made when Checker’s original hit record, “The Twist”, re-entered the charts and by January of 1962, it was back in the #1 position. No other record before or since has accomplished that feat.
