Chubby Checker (real name: Ernest Evans, born October 3, 1941) American rock’n’roll singer, best known for popularizing the "Twist" dance craze with his 1960.

Chequered! is a studio album released by American singer Chubby Checker. Released by London Records in 1971, it is notable for being a stylistically different approach for Checker, opting for the more psychedelic sound that was popular at the time.
