THE TWIST - 24K Gold Music - 50s Music- Rock & Roll- LIVE Fun

Welcome to 24K Gold Music Shows!

"The Twist" is an American pop song written and originally released in early 1959 (having been recorded on November 11, 1958) by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters as a B-side to "Teardrops on Your Letter". Ballard's version was a moderate 1960 hit, peaking at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Chubby Checker's 1960 cover version of the song gave birth to the Twist dance craze. His single became a hit, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 19, 1960, where it stayed for one week, and setting a record as the only song to reach number 1 in two different hit parade runs when it resurfaced and topped the popular hit parade again for two weeks starting on January 13, 1962.

24K Gold Music Shows does not currently perform any longer, but this page is now dedicated to reliving the past decade of performances & show memories!
Our performances were packed with high-energy dancing and full vocal harmonies, highlighted with a blend of glitzy costumes and lighting, set to the rhythm of songs from the classic oldies era, and much much more!
Expect to hear songs made famous by the classic performers all the way from Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Brenda Lee, Patsy Cline, The Skyliners, The Andrews Sisters and the great 60s Girl Groups (special set respectively dedicated each of those), occasional classic country hits made famous by the Oakridge Boys, the Statler Brothers, Tammy Wynette, George Strait, George Jones,- and even power ballads made famous by current big-names like Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand etc.!
We also slip one or two of our own 24K Gold Original Hit Songs in many shows.
Lastly (but not least), most show had an Elvis Tribute Set at the last half, and we proudly ended each show by Honoring our Vets!

The twist came out in 1960, then again in 1961 or 62. It was not a song from the Fifties.

Hank Ballard did a little better version. Good version.

[roadrunner]

Very good ladies but if you are going to do 60's music, you need 60's hair styles

[davyfindlay]

Lead vocalist with the black hair & good looks name anyone?

[SleuthSayers]

Music is fun but their dance isn't very twist-like.
