The king of "The Twist" took out a full-page advertisement in Billboard magazine, arguing that he's one of rock 'n' roll's most important figures — and one of its most underappreciated. In an open letter to the entertainment industry, Checker demanded a statue of himself alone in the courtyard of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. If he doesn't get one, he said he'll refuse induction into the hall, although he's not yet been voted in. "I want my flowers while I'm alive. I can't smell them when I'm dead," Checker wrote. "I will not have the music business ignore my position in the industry." Checker told The Associated Press he'd been slighted by a music industry that does not rec Checker, who turns 60 today, came out with "The Twist" — a cover of the song by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters — on "The Dick Clark Saturday Night Show" in August 1960. He topped the charts the following month, and again in 1962. He hit the Top 40 again with a rap version of "The Twist" in 1988. ognize — or want to recognize — his contribution to popular music. People are still twisting, though mainly at wedding receptions that feature other faded dance crazes like the macarena and the electric slide. That doesn't matter to Checker, who said he invented "dancing apart to the beat." His letter even makes the case for a Nobel Prize. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — which will announce its newest inductees in December — said it would be unfair to give Checker his own statue. There is a wide variety of opinion about what constitutes the watershed moments of rock, he said. "You booie with your girlfriend, and you never stop to think where it comes from," he said. "Here I am with my big mouth to tell you." Terry Stewart, president of the "The idea that we could elevate one individual with a statue out front would suggest I would have to do likewise for all the rest of the people in the pantheon," Stewart said. "It's just not a reasonable request." Checker did not originate solo dancing, although he was an important innovator, according to Chrystelle Trump Bond, who heads Goucher College's dance department. The dance form evolved over many decades, taking root in the 1920s with dances such as the Charleston and the black bottom, she said.
