Hi, back in the seventies when I lived in Brixton there was a record called 'The Rock back dance'. Ther lyrics went something like " I traveled from here to London town, all the way back to New York City and everybody was doing tjis dance, they called it the Rock Back, everybody doing the rock back dance.
If anybody could give me some more info I would be so happy. This was the first reggae single I ever bought.

Probably 'Rock Back' by Jerry Morris/Jerry Mathias, 7" on Ethnic Records (UK) from around 1972.

Many thanks , many thanks, you are dead right. Even found it on youtube!! still remembered the words. happy times.
