FINGER POPPIN' TIME

Hank Ballard & The Midnighters.

 Ballard, born John Henry Kendricks, would have been 87 today.   Ballard wrote and first recorded "The Twist," later a mega-hit with Chubby Checker's 1960 cover.  "Finger Poppin' Time" was a Grammy nominee.

(BTW, Ballard's cousin Flo was one of The Supremes.)
