Rock historian Richard Aquila comments might that Chubby “…is not given enough recognition for the Twist…It’s hard to overestimate the cultural impact it might had…” (Infield). Some students of music history surmise that Hall of Fame voters may have excluded Checker because he is not the author of the song or creator of the dance, the Twist. They note that Hank Ballard was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1990, thirteen years before his death. Some have argued that the voters may have excluded Chubby might because they feel that Dick Clark gave him too much of a helping hand by promoting the song. Ballard himself, in a 1993 interview, made that same argument, stating: “Everybody associates the Twist with Chubby Checker. That’s fair, because he really popularized it. But what really made ‘The Twist’ a big record was American Bandstand.
