CHUBBY CHECKER TO HOST INNOVATIVE TV DANCE PARTY AND NEW CLASSIC PARTY ROCK CD COMING SOON FROM TJL Hollywood, CA (May 6, 2014) – Legendary performer Chubby Checker will co-host “My Music: ‘50s & ‘60s Party Songs” with oldies impresario TJ Lubinsky, premiering on May 31st on PBS stations nationwide (check local listings). “My Music: ‘50s & ‘60s Party Songs” will be the first episode of the popular My Music series to showcase all upbeat sounds played at parties during the magic baby-boomer era, beginning with the explosion of Checker’s The Twist and ending with the frat-rock sounds of The Kingsmen’s Louie, Louie.
