The late 1950s US dance fad was created by blacks and the Stroll hit record was by the Diamonds in 1958. Hank Ballard used to do the step in his stage performances.
This 1957 movie "Let's Rock" with Julius Larosa showed this gem film of blacks doing the dance in a park.
There were other stroll recordings that weren't big hits. This Diamonds song (@2:04) from 1958 was only released in Australia, and later on this Pop Hits LP. Jack Scott recorded it in 1960.

  • Once again in a rock n' roll flick...music just naturally comes out of the air with no visible source! LOL! Well, at least here, they're not singing in the car or on surfboards! :-)

  • OK, here's the plan. I'm gonna stage this in Central Park some fall. Email me if you're interested.
