I also re call it being in East coast swing.?( fifties ). It pre-dates most of todays named variations in Salsa .
It was, to my knowledge , never used in Mambo, so I,m guessing someone decided to " purloin " it from another genre .
But there again, many of the variations in Mambo / Salsa came from other dances .
Most dances are hybrids, if you go back to their inception.

Finally managed to rack my brain, and check my resources--
I was correct-- Suzy Q was an African American dance ( to jazz music ) along with " Truckin" , from circa 1927 . The basic-- A suzy Q--
The basic was danced in a routine , now I think about it , by the Nicholas Bros. in of the movies they were featured in .

Further, like many steps from that era (i.e. Shorty George), the names were from the persons who did them. The step was named from the way it was done by the person who did it in Lindy Swing.

"The Mambo is the most popular new dance right now... It's a cross between rumba and jitterbug."

She was kinda on the right track, but not accurate. Its based upon Bolero, and Swing, both E and WC plus Lindy
