Rusty's right, it was Lawrence Walker first. Didn't know about the Jolie Can't dance name though.

Story I heard was he named it after Johnny Alan who was playing guitar for him as a teenager. Since he was on the bandstand all night, he couldn't dance and voila, there you have it.

For the off-color footnote to the story, email me off forum....
