Let's Twist Again was released 45 years ago this month! It was written by Kal Mann and Dave Appell, and released as a single recorded by Chubby Checker, one of the biggest hit singles of 1961 reaching #2 in the UK charts and #8 in the U.S. charts. It refers to the Twist dance craze and his 1960 single "The Twist" a UK and US #1 single. The song received the 1961 Grammy Award for Best Rock 'n Roll Recording.
