The original "Hairspray" story.
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 Philadelphia, the home of Dick Clark's American Bandstand helped her career; she appeared on the syndicated teen dance show many times from 1962 to 1981. The first black female teen idol, Sharp also became a fixture on Clark's Caravan of Stars tours, and a familiar face in the popular 16 Magazine.
sblake,
I remember her well from Bandstand. It must be totally frustrating to be known mostly for a single song despite a long career.
Listening to Dee Dee's description of how "The Bird" is to be executed, I'm downhearted. It's far too ambitious a dance for me, these days. My cardiologist would frown upon such vigorous activity at my age. Mind you, his first name is Freddy.
Dan,
I'm too tired for more than a slow box step, a very slow box step. Getting old is a bitch sometimes.
