I remember seeing Chubby back about 61 or 62. He performed at a "hop" on the boardwalk in my home town of Betterton Md. Betterton was a small town with a big beach and a very popular summer vacation area. There was a TV dance show host from Baltimore by the name of Buddy Deane who brought Chubby down to the beach to perform. It was definitely cool.

For those of you who don't know about Buddy Deane or his show, he and his show are the basis for the movie "Hairspray". John Waters the producer from Baltimore and grew up there in that era (1960"s).
