IT HAPPENED TODAY . . . 1936 Rhythm-and-blues singer Hank Ballard, originator of The Twist, was born in Detroit. Ballard recorded The Twist as the flip side of his 1958 hit Teardrops on My Letter. But The Twist was not a hit until Chubby Checker made a million-seller out of it in 1960. Ballard and his group, the Midnighters, first gained notice in 1954 for their sexually-explicit Annie trilogy -- Work With Me Annie, Annie Had a Baby and Annie's Aunt Fanny. The songs were banned on most radio stations.
