Editing Chubby Checker (section)

===1970s–1990s===
"The Twist" was recorded for [[Cameo-Parkway Records]] and along with the label's other material, became unavailable after the early 1970s because of the company's internal legal disputes. For decades, almost all compilations of Checker's hits consisted of re-recordings. The 1970s saw a shift and resurgence for his career, including a temporary stint as a [[disco]] artist. Checker continued to be a superstar in Europe with television and records.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} A dance-floor cover version of [[the Beatles]]' "[[Back in the U.S.S.R.]]" released in 1969 on [[Buddah Records]], his first chart entry in three years, reached No. 82.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Billboard Hot 100, May 3, 1969|url=http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1969-05-03|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|access-date=July 8, 2017|archive-date=August 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170826092100/http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1969-05-03|url-status=live}}</ref> It was Checker's last chart appearance until 1982 when he hit No. 91 with "Running".<ref name=":0" />

In 1971, Checker at his own insistence recorded a [[psychedelic music|psychedelic]] album filled with music he felt was "current" that was initially only released in Europe. Originally named ''[[Chequered!]]'', it was renamed over the years in subsequent re-releases as ''New Revelation'', ''The Other Side Of Chubby Checker'', and sometimes as ''Chubby Checker''. The songs were all written by Checker and produced by former [[Jimi Hendrix]] producer [[Ed Chalpin]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/ed-chalpin-mn0001538682|title=AllMusic – Ed Chalpin Credits|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=July 8, 2017}}</ref> but the studio musicians' names are unknown.

Later in the decade, he recorded an album of "audiophile re-creations" of his greatest hits, for producer Stan Shulman.

In 1988, Chubby teamed up with hip-hop trio [[The Fat Boys]] with their version of ''The Twist (Yo, Twist)'': this reached No 2 in the UK.
