The original version of the song reached number four on the Billboard pop charts, number five on the R&B charts, and number one on the Cashbox charts.
In the dance, two lines of dancers, men on one side and women on the other, face each other, moving in place to the music. Each paired couple then steps out and does a more elabarate dance up and down between the rows of dancers.
It was first performed to "C. C. Rider" by Chuck Willis on American Bandstand. Link Wray's "Rumble" were also popular tunes for doing the Stroll.

TANGERINE ZOO
Deep psych rock’n’roll from the booming scene in Boston, with some of the hardest Hammond B-3 work outside of a soul band. They made an impressive run for four short years, playing with bands like Cream, Vanilla Fudge, Deep Purple, and even the mighty Hendrix; they also laid down two full albums of scorching fuzzed-out psychedelic blues rock.

FEDERAL DUCK
A student band at Haverford College in Pennsylvania, they played steadily at frat parties, dorm dances, and school functions but never really ventured much outside of their area. The band existed during their four years of college and that was it, as each member faded away into the mists of time after graduation. Their sole LP is a solid piece of post-Sgt. Pepper psychedelic pop rock’n’roll, slightly baroque at times, surprisingly jazzy at other times, and certainly more musically advanced than their amateur status might imply.

THE SEVENS
A cult-favorite beat rock band from Switzerland, their repertoire also expands into psychedelic soul, downbeat R&B, and Chicago-style walking blues. This expanded reissue of their only LP includes all of their non-album 45 sides as bonus tracks.

THE NOMADDS
Five fresh-faced (and fresh-outta high school) fired-up garage beat rockers who cut a whole album just to have something to sell at their gigs. Prized for decades by collectors, the eventual reissue was produced by original band guitarist Lee Garner and remastered by garage aficionado Erik Lindgren of Arf Arf Records. As these were their only studio recordings and their notoriety really didn’t wander too far from home, this album remains the band’s sole aural document.

THE SHAMROCKS
A lot of bands have doned the lucky name of The Shamrocks, this one is the British beat band from the Isle Of Wight. Some of the finest and most original first-wave garage beat rock and teenbeat R&B, it’s a mystery how they didn’t get bigger. This was their only full-length, expanded with four bonus tracks of mono 45 mixes.

Many thanks for the great shares, Larry.
Some excellent shares here Larry!
Big tanx to LFL! You R-A-W-K!!
Psyclist: thanks so much for the Bevis Frond. I bought them on vinyl years ago, had to sell them for food during a rough stretch, bought them again off the Bandcamp site, but these were only at 192kbs, so I don't feel to guilty about getting these upgrades.
