During 1961, Paramount Pictures filmed the movie "Hey, Let's Twist!", a fictional story of Dee and the Peppermint Lounge starring Jo Ann Campbell and Teddy Randazzo. At the end of the year, the Starliters' "Peppermint Twist" became a hit, spending three weeks at No. 1 in January 1962. This brought the club wide recognition, reinforced later in the year by Sam Cooke's "Twistin' the Night Away" which, while not mentioning the club by name, was about "a place/Somewhere up a New York way/Where the people are so gay". The movie and soundtrack album also did their part in making the Peppermint Lounge a world-famous venue. Successful singles spawned from "Hey, Let's Twist!" were the title track and "Shout – Part I". Other albums released during this time were "Doin' the Twist at the Peppermint Lounge", which was recorded live at the venue, and "All the World's Twistin' with Joey Dee & the Starliters".
