“Limbo Rock” Is Concerned, There Is No Lower Number
HOW LOW CAN YOU GO; As far as “Limbo Rock” is concerned, there is no lower number. This week it went from #2 down to #1 while passing the 1,300,000 sales mark. For Chubby Checker it’s another feather in the cap of the young lad who has become the “Dean of Teen Dance.” Just as his “Twist” single and LP’s played a major role in establishing that dance craze earlier in the year, his “Limho” single and “Limbo Party” LP (#35 in its first week on the LP best seller list) are establishing a new fad which the performer demonstrates above. With requests for more Limbo merchan- dise gaining steadily, Cameo/Parkway is scheduling the release of another CC album called “Let’s Limbo Some More.” It was also just announced that Bernie Lowe, president of the rapidly growing Cameo/Parkway Corporation, has signed Chubby to a new five-year contract with the label.
