“While [Bobby] Rydell was matched with [Chubby] Checker in a pairing of white and black teen idols, the new twist king also interacted with a female dance song queen, North Philadelphian Dione LaRue, who was transformed from a church vocalist in a home where dancing was forbidden into Dee Dee Sharp…Dee Dee and Chubby quickly became the king and queen of dance songs” (Victor Brooks, Last Season of Innocence: The Teen Experience of the 1960s, 2012).
