Replying to a message of John Massey to Bob Klahn:

 JM> Did you teach chubby checker the twist?

Hank Ballard taught Ernest Evans the Twist.  Evans made more money
and fame from it - but Ballard wrote and first performed/recorded the song.

Evans adopted "Chubby Checker" - a takeoff on Fats Domino, then a popular
black recording artist - at the suggestion of Dick Clark, who got the idea
from his wife.
