Cole in Twist Around the Clock
Clay Cole, perhaps the only host of a rock 'n roll TV variety show to rival the popularlity of Dick Clark in the 1960s, has died at age 72. Cole helped popularize such bands and singers as The Beatles, The Who, Neil Diamond, The Doors and The Rolling Stones (though he loathed their unkempt appearance). Cole was co-starred with Chubby Checker in the film Twist Around the Clock. It was on a broadcast of Cole's show televised from New Jersey's legendary Palisades Amusement Park that Checker introduced his version of The Twist that would be synonymous with the his name. Cole's popularity endured enough to have had a fan club- The Claymates- in existence for the last 50 years. For more click here...
