It's time for Chubby Checker to gain the ultimate recognition for his contribution to rock and roll history: Induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As Dick Clark remarked, "The three most important things that ever happened in the Music Industry are Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Chubby Checker."
"The Twist" holds the honor of being the #1 song in the first 50 years of Billboard's All-Time Hot 100 Top Songs. It retained that position on the Hot 100 55th Anniversary. It is the #1 song of all time.
This week - September 29, 2014, Chubby has the # 54 Record on The Billboard CD Singles Sales Chart, with his latest single, "CHANGES." Chubby Checker has had a presence on the National Charts, in Billboard, for over 55 Years - The longest in the History of Rock & Roll.
That alone should whisk Chubby into the Hall. But get to know Chubby's whole story and you will undoubtedly see that he deserves his place among the rock stars in the pantheon of rock and roll history. Check out Chubby here: www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chubby_Checker

The lack of acknowledgment from the nomination committee is unacceptable given the historical data we have compiled. Call the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame office today and demand they recognize his record-breaking chart presence. Post this link on your Facebook wall so we can keep building momentum until they respond.

Our Icons deserve Flowers For The Living. Chubby is Awesome and I Love that he is still killing it!
Many of the acts that have been inducted in recent years are more about getting younger people to come to the museum in Cleveland, How about making sure the people that still deserve to be inducted get a chance?
What are you waiting for? Fats Domino, Chuck Berry is t
It is a travesty that Chubby is not in the Hall of Fame. It is 2018 and he still has the number one hit of all time. Come on people, let’s do the right thing.
Why only 44 signatures?
Shame
Mr. Checker started a beautiful dance craze for Christ sake.

Saw Chubby Checker in Key West on 1/31/18 and am shocked to learn this influential and talented artist has been snubbed to date. That should be rectified!
