Chubby Checker and computer technology just can't seem to get along.

The early rock legend sought damages for an attempt to use his name.

Chubby Checker really should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...and he knows it. In fact, he's DEMANDING it...while he's still young enough to use it to make more money.

The singer of 'The Twist' and many other hits says he deserves to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Happy 70th birthday to Chubby Checker! Checker started what was arguably the biggest dance craze to every hit America with his smash hit 'The Twist'. He was born Ernest Evans, but changed his name in the '50s because he resembled Fats Domino. So the takeoff seemed obvious. Fats Domino, Chubby Checker.   He continues to perform regularly around the world, and occasionally records new material.
