  The Lively Set, celebrating Dee Dee Sharp
Sharp, born Dione LaRue in 1945, was reared in a North Philadelphia neighborhood where, she said, young girls were not encouraged to have aspirations beyond domestic work.
Sharp probably had no ideal that she would eventually become a rock 'n' roll star but, one day, fate intervened in the form of a help wanted ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Sharp (unaccredited) accompanied labelmate Chubby Checker as the female singer on his duet-like 1962 record "Slow Twistin'." After hearing Sharp record "Slow Twistin" with Checker, the powers-that-be at Cameo-Parkway decided her vocals might fit the bill for a new song they had in the works.

 It's Mashed Potato Time
Dee Dee began singing at church at a young age in her grandfather's choir.
Dee Dee Sharp wanted to settle into soul/r&b music, it wasn't that good for her and it didn't sell as well as her "dance music".
Dee Dee was great friends with a lot of the other female soul singers such as "Patti Labelle", "Mary Wilson", "Diana Ross", and many others.

 CMT.com : Dee Dee Sharp Gamble : Biography
Dee Dee Sharp hit the biggest with her first record for the Cameo/Parkway label, a blessing that pigeonholed the Philly songstress as a teenybopper forever to be identified with her number one smash from 1962, "Mashed Potatoes Time." Living in
Sharp and Checker hooked up and recorded an album together entitled Down to Earth, one of nine LPs that Cameo issued on Sharp (all with blinding colorful colors).
Sharp also collaborated (uncredited) on many of the songs on Gamble Records, but by the time her second PIR album came out, she had begun divorce proceedings, finalized by 1980.

Dee Dee was a big hit-maker in the sixties but became a truly extraordinary singer in the 70's and 80's with one of the best voices in the business!!
Dee Dee's duet with the great and legendary Jerry Butler "Everyday Affair" still could be a hit today if it had a single release...Jerry and Dee Dee are totally thrilling and "Everyday Affair" stands up along with any of the greatest ever duets like Dinah & Brook or Marvin & Tammi.
And, YES, it is the same Dee Dee Sharp who did Mashed Potatoes (sp?) in the '60s and who LATER married Kenny Gamble (of Philly's Gamble and Huff fame) and came out with these two intriguing, stylish albums in the late 70s.

Apart from the labels, what helped give these records an air exoticism and mystery back in the 1960s was the artists names.
England, then, (for the working classes) was all Mary's, Jane's and Helen's, and names like Dee Dee, while possibly being common in America, were, here in London, strange, modern and evocative of Soul music.
It made me want to own a record by them regardless of it's content, not that I was likely to come unstuck on that count.
