The ADJA created this unique Hall of Fame to honor those professional recording artists that have given so much to our industry, that have pioneered music & dance forms that have survived the test of time. This is an award of distinction to those few who have created art, that we have thereby been able to earn a living playing their art.As our first recipient, we could think of no other artist that has contributed to the success of Mobile DJ’s events than Chubby Checker. Today, some 40+ years after his hits of “The Twist”, “Pony Time” & the ever popular “Limbo Rock”. People are still dancing & having fun to the up beat sounds of Chubby Checker. Even today his hits have been remastered & mixed into contemporary versions that still have that Chubby Checker sound. The ADJA is proud to honor as it’s first Inductee Chubby Checker! |
