Just read this on a site called American Songwriter concerning who wrote The Twist ...In 2014, his former Midnighters bandmate, Lawson Smith, said that The Gospel Consolaters’ Nathaniel Bills first wrote the song. Then Bills, according to Smith, asked the band The Spaniels to record it. But Ballard “stole” the song and claimed he penned the tune.
Thanks @j hansen. The subject is correct but the photo is off. Check the kid's ear and neck, the RHF tyre, the RHF headlamp, the kid's hand and the sidewalk beside the car.
