== Later Career == Checker has continued performing throughout the decades since his initial success, his shows drawing audiences nostalgic for the early 1960s and curious younger listeners interested in the music's historical significance. His twist recordings remain staples of oldies radio and film soundtracks, their association with a particular cultural moment ensuring ongoing interest. Legal disputes over royalties and legacy have occasionally brought him press attention, while his live performances maintain connection with audiences who experienced the twist era firsthand.<ref name="dawson"/> His Philadelphia connections remain evident in his continued identification with the city, the place where his career began and where the promotional apparatus that launched his success was centered. The twist's impact on popular culture—demonstrating that records and dances could combine to create phenomena that transcended either—influenced how the music industry approached subsequent releases, making Checker's contribution more significant than any individual recording might suggest.<ref name="jackson"/>
