Hank Ballard (November 18, 1927 – March 2, 2003), born John Henry Kendricks, was a rhythm and blues singer and songwriter, the lead vocalist of Hank Ballard and The Midnighters and one of the first rock 'n' roll artists to emerge in the early 1950s. He played an integral part in the development of the genre, releasing the hit singles "Work With Me, Annie" and answer songs "Annie Had a Baby" and "Annie's Aunt Fannie" with his Midnighters. He later wrote and recorded "The Twist" which spread the popularity of the dance and was notably covered by Chubby Checker. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

#Quote
1If you're looking for youth, you're looking for longevity, just take a dose of rock 'n' roll. It keeps you going, just like the caffeine in your coffee. Rock 'n' roll is good for the soul, for the well-being, for the psyche, for your everything. I love it. I can't even picture being without rock 'n' roll.
#Fact
1Cousin of Florence Ballard.
2Hank Ballad created "The Twist," the dance craze of the '60s. The social changes among the sexes and the older generations brought forth by "The Twist" and its many offshoots; like "The Mash Potatoes", "The Monkey", and "The Frug" are immeasurable. Heretofore, males who had difficulty with the dance steps of "The Lindy" would often "sit one out" while their girlfriends danced together . Now they could buy records that they could dance to as well. These dances were also adopted in by older generations in nightclubs world wide , giving "R n R" a fan base, beyond the "teenage years".
3Was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990.
