Peppermint Twistin' CD

Joey Dee & The Starliters
Peppermint Twistin' CD

Although the irrepressible Chubby Checker was the undisputed King of the Twist, Joey Dee & The Starliters ran him a close second during 1961 and 1962.
A powerful live band, they famously made The Peppermint Lounge on New York City's West 45th Street, into the Twist centre of the world, patronised by A-List celebs, Royalty and even The First Lady.
This collection presents the very best of Joey & The Starliters from their first release as a Doo-Wop group in 1958 on obscure New York label Little Records, through all of their big hits to the end of 1962.
Includes their million-sellers Peppermint Twist, Shout, and tracks from their million-selling LP Doin' The Twist At The Peppermint Lounge from which cuts like Ya-Ya and Hot Pastrami would be spun off as successful 45s, alongside other significant hits like Hey Let's Twist, Roly-Poly, Everytime I Think About You, What Kind Of Love Is This and I Lost My Baby.
