Chubby Checker at Lucifer’s 3 — May 5, 1975

The man who started the Twist craze took the stage at Lucifer’s 3 in Utica — a small club setting that offered an unexpectedly intimate look at one of early rock and roll’s genuine legends. Chubby Checker had ridden the dance-floor revolution he sparked in 1960 through more than a decade of touring, and by 1975 he was still a crowd-electrifying performer. Utica turned out to see the legend, and the legend delivered.
