Biography
In the comedy, Leonid Gaida "Caucasian Captive" Yevgeny Morgunov in the image of the experienced teaches the inhabitants and guests of the Caucasian town to dance a trendy twist dance. I came up with movements that resemble the trituration by the lower limbs of two cigarets at the same time, the American musician Ernest Evans, famous for the pseudonym Chabby Checker. In his youth, the singer looked like a young barrack Obama, and in the elderly she was reminded of a dark-white Tom Jones.Childhood and youth
Ernest was born on October 3, 1941 in the town of Spring Gallilli State of South Carolina, and grew up in South Philadelphia. He had two brothers.
In an interview, the singer argued that his mother had extrasensory abilities. Being a pregnant Ernest, a woman saw a prophetic dream that the United States is involved in the world war, and 2 months after the birth of the boy, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Later, Mrs. Evans dreamed that Ernest confuses someone else's composition and will become famous. This prophecy also came true.
In 8 years, Evans has already made a musical group with the peers that entertained passersby songs. In school years, he took the lessons of the game on the piano and pleased the teachers and classmates by progestions of the compositions of Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Personal life
On April 12, 1964, Ernest took married a native of the Netherlands Catharina Ladders - the winner of the beauty contest "Miss World - 1962". Personal life was reflected in the work: the musician dedicated to the bride Loddy Lo song. In December 1964, the first daughter of the spouses Bianca Johanna Evans was born.The marriage of the singer and the model turned out to be durable, although Chabby acquired several extra-wedded children. One of the daughters of the musician is a basketball player Misty McCray Bass, now advocating for the Australian club "Canberra Capitam".
On November 29, 2015, the singer and his wife came to the hundredth birthday of Pastor George Garver to personally congratulate the jubilee of a brave priest who risked to legitimize their interracial marriage and became the object of the persecution of racists because of this. The degree of racism in the United States in the 60s of the 20th century can be judged by Peter Farrellley "Green Book".
Music
The biography of the King Twist is similar to a tale about Cinderella. The role of the Fairy was the owner of the grocery store, in which the young Evans worked. The trader drew attention to the vocal assistant vocal data and sowed a black young man with his friend who worked at the recording studio.
Pseudonym Evans took analogy with the Domino FTA (literally "fat domino"), whose songs also sowed. The word Chabby means "chubby" (the name was the name of Ernest Pukhlyachkom), and Checker is one of the games in the checkers.
The debut composition of Chabby Checker The Class almost did not attract the attention of the listeners. The singer woke up by the famous after the execution of the Caver version of the Single Hank Ballard The Twist, which took the first lines of the charts. The songs of Pony Time and Let's Twist Again also became indisputable Songs of Checker.
At the top of Glory, Chabby did not record albums. Producers arbitrarily equipped discs from his hits and songs of other rock and roll stars. In 1971, Checker's discography was replenished with a psychedelic album Chequered! ("Checkered"), but the experimental collection of the founder of the Twist failed.
Interesting examples of chabby cooperation with other stars. Together with Bobby Ridelle, he recorded Hit Jingle Bell Rock, which was filmed a funny clip-cartoon with snowmen. Slow Twistin Song, created in a duet with singer Di di Sharp, rose to the 3rd place in the American Chart.
In the late 80s of the 20th century, Checker recorded the updated version of The Twist with a rap team of The Fat Boys. In February 2013, the singer posted a new Ballad of Changes on Yutiuba ("Change").
Chabby Checker now
Currently, Chabby receives dividends from the former glory, offering on the official website to buy pictures with its autograph, chocolate and snacks from dried beef their name. Unlike Chuck Berry, which gave concerts and in 85 years, Ernest Evans now avoids public speeches. The navigation of an elderly artist contributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.On April 26, 2020, on the page in Facebook, the singer posted a photo in the mask and the call to stay at home. A large loss for Evans was the death of a colleague on the rock and roll shop of Little Richard on May 9, 2020. On the "Youtyuba" part of the clips of Richard is based on the mixes of his songs with Chabby compositions.
