Slow Twistin’ (Sheldon) by Chubby Checker and (unbilled) Dee Dee Sharp

This relaxed-tempo Twist hit by Chubby did not show Sharp’s name on the original-release label, though the record was riding in the national top-5 at the same time as her own best-seller “Mashed Potato Time.” Alternate and remake versions are common, but this is the original single hit.
