"Since the opening of the new Cotton Club revue, which features Cora LaRedd in a "Trucking" number, there has been quite a controversy over who originated this dance... According to Henry (Rubberlegs) Williams, the dance was revived and given its present name on May 3, 1935, at the Harlem Opera House, in a show called "Truck on Down.""
