Sing Along Snacks: Special Thanksgiving Edition

It's never too early or too late for a snack so turn up the sound on your computer!

Special Thanksgiving Edition

Turkey - Mashed Potatoes - Gravy - Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie

 

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."

This was Little Eva's third single for the Dimension label and was also her third top 40 record. The record debuted on the charts on February 2, 1963. Had it been issued three months earlier, perhaps it might have had a better than #20 showing on the hot 100.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Jay & The Techniques great 1967 single. Reached # 6 on the pop charts.

OK, the lyrics are maybe not spot on when it comes to lauding the proper ingredients, but it will keep the kitchen crew bopping around with a good spring in your step while the table is being laid out!

The Whisky Bar has been turned into the Whisky Library in some US cities (as photo on right), with more an more bottles for the aficiando to try.
