He was born in Spring Gulley, SC, USA, and raised in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and attended South Philadelphia High School with Frankie Avalon and Fabian. The wife of American Bandstand's host Dick Clark suggested the name "Chubby Checker" to Evans as a take-off on then-popular singer Fats Domino. In 1964, he married Catharina Lodders, a Dutch girl who had been Miss World in 1962.
His material during his 1960s heyday was recorded for Cameo-Parkway Records and along with the label's other material, became unavailable after the early 1970s because of the company's internal legal disputes. For decades, almost all compilations of Checker's hits consisted of re-recordings.

Chubby Checker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
never know how much i care
when you put your arms around me
I give you fever that's so hard to bare
you give me fever
when you kiss me
fever when you hold me tight
In the morning
Fever all through the night
Sun lights up the day time
moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
and you know i'm gonna treat you right

fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night
Everybodies got the fever

When he put his arms around her
He said Julie baby your my flame
Now give me fever

Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it fair and have a sense of game

Fever if you really learned
Fever
Till you sizzlen
But what a lovely way to burn
But what a lovely way to burn
But what a lovely way to burn
But what a lovely way to burn

However, when his lover puts their arms around him, he gives off a temperature that is hard to bear because of the intensity of his feelings. The singer's partner reciprocates the feelings, and when they kiss, hold each other tight, or call each other by name, the singer experiences a fever that burns through the night.
The fever that the song describes is not exclusive to the couple; everyone has experienced it at some point.
