*"Original Black Bottom Dance" was composed by Perry Bradford and Gus Horsley.

Published in 1919 the "Original Black Bottom Dance" was derived from an earlier dance called the "Jacksonville Rounders' Dance" printed in 1907. Both numbers were written by black pianist and composer Perry Bradford, based on an old dance with origins that can be traced to Jacksonville, Florida.
