Vodery and published as a piano piece in 1914, with a sub-title 'New One Step', and with a front cover description: "New Society Dance - Originated by Billy Kent & Jeanette Warner - America's Classiest Dancers". It is possible that the title of the piece was intended to be just 'Carolina', with 'Fox Trot' being a descriptive subtitle. The Fox Trot emerged as a new popular dance in 1914, and was initially danced to ragtime music.Will Vodery is perhaps best known for the vocal and choral arrangements that he created for the original Broadway stage production of the classic musical 'Show Boat' (1927).
