In 1972, when nostalgia for late-'50s and early-'60s rock & roll was bringing Chuck Berry and others back into the charts, Allen Klein's ABKCO Records obtained the rights to reissue Chubby Checker's Cameo-Parkway singles on this 15-track hits LP. Checker actually had many more hits than just "The Twist" and "Let's Twist Again," and this LP presents his other dance tunes -- "Pony Time," "The Fly," "Limbo Rock" -- and several of his later, less successful singles when he was trying to branch out into a sort of Harry Belafonte-style folk approach.
