"Twisting at the Woodchopper's Ball" was the first Canadian single to top the International Charts.
[1] Ronn Metcalfe released an LP named after the title track, "Twistin' at the Woodchopper's Ball", which garnered him a gold record.
The album was a good example of high calibre musicianship combined with well written arrangements.
[2] Metcalfe would ride the success of this album to create a rock and roll scene in Niagara, Canada.
Metcalfe, "Canada's King of Swing",[2] paid $7000 to produce the LP,[2] including the single release from the album, which was chosen "Pick of the Week"[2] in Cash Box magazine.
