The Orlons - Mashed Potato Time/Gravy (For My Mashed Potatoes)

[VinDcator]

They sound so fucking good! Everything the Orlons do is so great! And so are you, for putting this up for us!

Best VOCAL remake of Mashed Potato Time. One of my all time favorite songs. Thanks for sharing this Count.

I had to come back for more, and give more thumbs up. These cuts are so awesome. Soon I will have my laptop piped thru the Dumont console's sound system - wireless. This will really rattle the china cabinet. I'd also like to do the same with the Seeburg and use the two woofers and the sub... THAT will rattle the whole building here LOL

@75capriceconvertible Hey welcome back...shake them walls till the paint peels...hope it doesn't scare the cat too much...

[75capriceconvertible]

@thecountofbasie OMG Ira, I found a copy of this on ebay last week! It's ordered and will be on its way shortly. I would never been aware this LP existed if not for you. Just thought I'd share the good news, cheers, -Bill.

@75capriceconvertible Glad to hear...hope it's as much of a blast literally as...well you get the idea...:-))

[75capriceconvertible]

@thecountofbasie LOL, yes I get ya... and when I receive the record I'll likely be making a response vid!

[thecountofbasie]

@75capriceconvertible And I'll be waiting for it...:-))

Hey!  The sax solo is even different! Almost identical, but a few different nuances. How cool

[75capriceconvertible]

Wow... it sounds like Dee Dee... but... is it her? Or is it an Orlon? If so, very very close in voice. Sounds like her only just a bit different... the backing track is definitely "THE" one... love it!!

[thecountofbasie]

@75capriceconvertible As far as I know, Rosetta Hightower's on lead on these (as well as most of the Orlons' hits)

[75capriceconvertible]

@thecountofbasie Well, Rosetta's definitely got the whole Dee Dee thing goin' on! It is so awesome to hear the identical backing track with different vocals, just like the instrumental one you've got posted as well with the uncredited Cameo Parkway musicians. I have been listening to this over and over with headphones! LOL

"mash potatoe time" i remember growing up and watching my sister dance to this song many many times. as a matter of fact my sister won a random dance contest back in the mid-60`s for being the best dancer when it came to the twist, mash potatoes, watusi . this all had taken place at the old state fairgrounds in sacramento.
