Chubby Checker, who popularized "The Twist" back in the 1960s, says he'd like to record duets with Justin Timberlake and Beyonce. Checker believes he influenced current pop music and dancing, and therefore would like to work with these current stars.
He explains (via StarPulse):
Before Chubby Checker there was no dancing apart to the beat. The world forever changed the way it danced. I'd love to play with Justin Timberlake or Beyonce, because every time these kids throw their arms up in the air or move their feet, they're doing my dances. I have a connection with these young people.
I'm one of the best performers that ever lived; I don't mean to sound big-headed, but I know what I can do on stage.
In other news, Chubby Checker is still alive!
