The stroll was both a slow rock 'n' roll dance〔http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/t/the_diamonds/the_stroll_crd.htm retrieved 1.21.2010〕 and a song that was popular in the late 1950s.〔Shore, Michael; Dick Clark (1985). ''The History of American Bandstand''. New York: Ballantine Books. ISBN 0-345-31722-X page 58.〕 ''Billboard'' first reported that "The Stroll" might herald a new dance craze similar to the "Big Apple" in December 1957.〔''Billboard'' December 9, 1957. page 16〕〔''Rock Roll & Remember''. Dick Clark, Richard Robison. 1978. Page 99.〕 "The Stroll" was written by Clyde Otis and Nancy Lee and was recorded by the Canadian group the Diamonds (Mercury 71242).〔http://www.min7th.com/diamonds/singles.html retrieved 1.20.2010〕〔''The heart of rock & soul: the 1001 greatest singles ever made''. Dave Marsh. page 201.〕 The Diamonds versions also featured a saxophone soloist. 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.〔http://www.cashboxmagazine.com/archives/50s_files/19580215.html retrieved 1.21.2011〕 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 elaborate dance up and down between the rows of dancers.〔''The heart of rock & soul: the 1001 greatest singles ever made''. Dave Marsh. page 201.〕 Dick Clark noted the similarity of the dance to the Virginia reel.〔''Rock Roll & Remember''. Dick Clark, Richard Robison. 1978. Page 98.〕 It was first performed to "C. C. Rider" by Chuck Willis on ''American Bandstand''. Link Wray's "Rumble" was also a popular tune for doing the stroll. It is referenced in Led Zeppelin's 1950s rock homage "Rock and Roll". The "Stroll" was used in the film "American Graffiti" (1973) during the scene at the High School Dance. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「the stroll」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
