Catalogue information
Early collector on Gusto from 1977 In 1953 The Royals changed their name to The Midnighters. This because of The Five Royals. Hank was unlucky enough to be the man who was almost famous. The writer and inventor of "The Twist" from 1958 and thus of the twist craze in 1960. That is Chubby Checker who managed to build a whole career out of that one song. But Hank was much more than that. Between 1954 and 1962 he was the leader, singer and songwriter of one of the most sought after groups on the USA R&B circuit. Direct successor to “The Dominoes” and a precursor to James Brown who has always emphasized this himself. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Ballard_and_the_Midnighters Ytube Work with me Annie http://www.youtube.com/user/Joehilllouistwo#p/f/5/iLNrMJF9WOE
