One sentence reads, in part:

was so popular that his private often did not allow him to sing any other style of music.

His private what? Or is this some meaning of the word I'm missing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidhorman ( talk • contribs) 23:10, 20 October 2007 (UTC) reply

The current article states that Checker was born in Spring Gulley, South Carolina and Andrews, South Carolina. Which is correct ?
