About mashed potato
The Mashed Potato is a dance move which was a popular dance craze of 1962. The dance move and mashed potato song were first made famous by James Brown in 1959 and used in his concerts regularly. It was also a dance done to songs such as Dee Dee Sharp's "Mashed Potato Time". The move vaguely resembles that of the twist, by Sharp's fellow Philadelphian Chubby Checker. The dance was also mentioned in the lyrics of Motown's hit song "Do You Love Me", written by Berry Gordy Jr. and performed by The Contours in 1962.
