Born John Henry Kendricks,
The man that invented the Dance "The Twist" and Wrote and Recorded the accompanying song, Hank Ballard, was a integral part in the early years of Rock n Roll. He and The Midnighters were banned from the airwaves for releasing music which were considered bad in those days. They were also ripped off by persons who wanted a so-called family friendly Artist to present the dance craze to the World.
