LISTEN TO BOOMTOWN RADIO! “ALL the Music That Matters for the Generation That Created Rock 'n' Roll”

This Day in Rock History - Nov. 11th

1958: Hank Ballard and the Midnighters are in the studio on this day recording the B-side for their upcoming single “Teardrops on Your Letter.” It was a little song Hank called “The Twist.”

Two years later, Chubby Checker would record a cover of the tune and all hell would break loose.
