I’m old enough to remember back in 1964, when President Johnson’s daughter Luci Baines Johnson was photographed dancing the then popular step called the Watusi with actor Steve McQueen. The reporters gave her the nickname of
Watusi Luci. Much of the public was “stunned”.

We've come a long way, baby.
“President Johnson’s daughter Luci Baines Johnson”
In 1964 I lived in Virginia directly across the river from D.C., about 7 road miles from the White House.
I was walking along Carlin Springs Rd on my way to school when Luci Baines Johnson cruised past me in her Corvette Stingray. I was maybe 10 ft from the car and she was unmistakable. Carlin Springs is a two lane road and she was only rolling along at about 30 mph, flanked front and back by sedans carrying four men each.
