Chubby Checker

I didn't do "the twist" myself but when you think of late 50s/early 60s rock and roll Chubby Checker was one of major artists on the scene.

twistin' by the Fool

did a nice cover of HANK BALLARD's "TWIST" . Named after FATS DOMINO (Chubby Checker) by DICK CLARK's wife

created a dance craze with "The Fly"

after Hank Ballard

Not a personal favorite,but certainly deserving as one of the early artists to put Rock n Roll on the map.

invented a kick arse dance

HAVING THE ONLY #1 RECORD TO EVER HIT TWICE IN DIFFERENT YEARS(THE TWIST), AND SO MANY HIT RECORDS OVER THE YEARS(PONY TIME, THE FLY,LIMBO ROCK, BIRDLAND, LODDY LO, DANCIN'PARTY, ETC. ETC. IT'S A WONDER WHY CHUBBY CHECKER IS NOT IN THE HALL ALREADY. ROCK AND ROLL IS ALL ABOUT FUN AND CHUBBY CHECKER WITH HIS DANCE TUNES EPITOMIZES WHAT ROCK AND ROLL IS. MANY ARTISTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE HALL HAVE NOT ACCOMPLISHED WHAT CHUBBY DID AND CONTINUES TO DO UP TO THIS DAY. CARLOS PORTUGUES-PUERTO RICO

Ok so he is best known for the twist but he was one of the founding fathers so he should be in the hall. Looking at some of the other names on this list he deserves it more then a majority of them.

Let's put Hank Ballard in

First rock and roll artist to be popular with adults. His impact was humongous, as everybody from Mantovani to Muddy waters was making Twist records because of him.
