Chubby Checker, a Philadelphia rock and roll singer and dancer was best known for a dance we’ve all enjoyed. He reached the top spot not only with the same song, but also with the same record in 1960 and 1961, the only time that this feat has been pulled off.

Puerto Rican musician, singer, and composer Jose Feliciano was one of the first singers to get into trouble singing his version of the Star Spangled Banner. He gave me his side of the story at the 1970 Summerfest in Milwaukee.
