Love his music and used to dance to it. Arthritis keeps me from dancing but still love it.

Chubby's milking it for all it's worth which is a good thing.
You gotta dance with the one that brung ya and he is doing that literally and figuratively.

I love Chubby Checkers ! I had to apply for SSI because of degenerative arthritis in my knees when I was in my middle 50's. It is hard to live on what you get, but I get by.
