History
The history of the Mashed Potato dance and song involves James Brown, Dee Dee Sharp, and The Contours, with the dance originating from James Brown in 1959. The dance craze became a hit in 1962 with Dee Dee Sharp’s song “Mashed Potato Time” and a mention in The Contours’ hit “Do You Love Me” . The dance involves shuffling the feet in a way that resembles twisting the ankles while shifting body weight from heel to toe.
