06 August 1960: Chubby Checker performed a cover of Hank Ballard and the Midnighters’ hit song, “The Twist,” on American Bandstand. The song became a No. 1 hit just weeks later. Then, in January 1962, Checker’s cover would return to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first song to become a No. 1 hit on two separate occasions.
