This was a "Monster Hit" back in 1962. It stayed in the Top 10 for months. Every time you turn on the radio this was being played. The Contours were "Awesome".
Yes, this is an ALL time hit!
This is an all-time classic and has been in a ton of movies including Dirty Dancing (1987) and Teen Wolf (1985)
This song came out in 1962. My mom was one of those crazy girls you see in videos with the big hair and makeup doing all the crazy dances and screaming at the Beatles and other bands, she did all these dances.
BJ - so the mash potato dance is done pivoting on the balls of your feet and kicking out to the side on an 8 count (Kathryn Rebholz has a tutorial on it on her channel)
You guys should totally do a vlog of trying out all the old dances from the 60s with the Swim, the Twist, the Locomotion, and the Mashed Potato being prolly the most noteworthy.
The "fad dances" seem kinda weird until you realize we do the same thing all the time now even: the dougie, watch me whip, the stanky leg, - we do the same thing now, I guess silly dances is just a human thing for whatever reason.
Cheers.
Wow! You guys reached waaaaaayy back for this one! I was a young child when this came out. And yes, I could do both The Mash Potato, AND The Twist!😂
Motown Records started off as a dance-oriented label, and one of their biggest smash hits was a 1962 song, “Do You Love 💗 Me,” 🎼👌💯that talks about a man who tries to regain the affections of a loved one by showing off his skills by performing several dances, including the mashed potato and the twist. The song was written by Berry Gordy, who offered it to The Contours 🚬🔥 with the intention of giving it to The Temptations had the former group turned it down. It is worth noting that “Do You Love Me” clearly showcases Gordy’s songwriting talents, standing as a crossover of many genres, from rock and roll to soul to R&B, with this eclectic blend making it palatable across many culturally different audiences. GREAT song back in the day & today too!!
Always reminds me of the scene in Dirty Dancing, where Baby just keeps dancing for a bit after the song "Love Man" (Otis Redding) ends.
edit- fyi "Do You Love Me" is from1962. Billy Gordon on lead vocals. The Funk Brothers were the session musicians including James Jamerson on bass.
Do you love me is what is playing when Billy and Baby enter the club carrying the watermelons. Then love man comes on after it.
@@Nicole_Jewell yup, all the same scene
When she walked in with the watermelon 🤣 LOVE that movie!!!!!!’
I carried a watermelon????
My father Sylvester Potts sang on this recording and with the Contours for years. Dennis Edwards of the Temptatations started out with the Contours as well. Yes people rushed to dance whenever they heard the song...no dance floor needed.😊😊😊
Boy! If my old legs worked I would be up dancing, ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITES OF ALL TIME!! Thankyou both so much!
Wow. If you were black or white, red or yellow, or falcon green--if you were a teen living close enough to Detroit (that was me), you were glued to the radio and the tunes coming from the great music they played on Detroit radio. You reached back into my childhood for this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Recorded in 1962, so there was a dance step of the Mashed Potatoes and the Twist. You can search You Tube for the original dances. BTW I was in my 2nd year of high school!!! 😂
For the excitement around this song, watch the scene in Dirty Dancing, I'd say that's a pretty genuine representation of the reaction to this song when it first came out.
I'm over here dancing in my chair!!! I should have been a teenager in the 50's. That's fun music 🎶 I love the whole 50'music.
Literally impossible not to chair dance to this song!
This is 60's. 1962, after the Twist and the Mash Potato came out.
I remember hearing this on the radio when I was about five years old and I would try to dance to it. It makes you move no matter what your age.
Hey Asia & BJ, I have always loved this song!!! This is a classic "JAM!!!" It puts a "glide-in-your-stride" and a "dip-in-your-hip!!!" Shout out to you guys for this reaction!!!
Parliament!
@@erykvonritzmann4741 Come on over to "The Mothership!!!" Yes Sir!!!😆😂🤣
This song was played on every turntable back in the day, actually way more popular than the top ten ratings, ask anybody back then, and great for dancing, watch me now, work, work, hehe!
Motown's 1st number one...it was a much-needed financial boost that enabled Gordy to buy even more equipment and expand operations. The lead singer , Dennis Edwards would take over as the Temptation's lead singer in '68.
I think The Marvelettes' "Please Mr. Postman" was Motown's first US #1 and kept the company afloat. This one allowed the expansion.
Awww! Y'all the cutest couple ever!!! I love it when y'all smile and laugh, and look at each other with that pure love! Gives me hope for the 🌍🌍🌍!!💞
Wow now we’re really going back, it was because I had teenage sisters that I knew this music! I mean, music really imitates life and most of it is very good! Love this song
Love this song!!! You can never sit still with this song!!!
This song has been cover by many but the Contours version has always been my favorite
Great timeless fun song. Woohoo 1960s😊. Glad I grew up in that decade sooooo many great singers and songs!!!
No one can sit still to this song! Love it. Haven't heard it since the last time I saw Dirty Dancing. I want to see B.J. doing the Mashed Potato! It brings back memories from my childhood and my 45 records. Thanks! BTW those shoes were called "saddle oxfords".
As others have mentioned, this came out in '62 and you are definitely right when you commented that everyone ran to the dance floor when this came on. There was another song around the same time that also caused a mad rush by everyone to the floor: "Wipe Out" by The Safaris. See what you think.
I was in elementary school when this song was first played on the radio. I loved to dance when I was a boy, and this number quickly became my favorite song to dance to. And, truthfully, it's one of those hits that never gets old. It sounds as good to me today as it did those many years ago! P.S. And you're right, BJ. I bought the record, and wore it out, playing it over and over and over again, all the while dancing my little legs off!
You do the mashed potato with your feet! LOL
Y'all are the best, I always look for your reactions, music or films.
How did it feel the first time. You can't be still when this song is playing.
Be safe y'all.
So sad that I remember how to do all those dances! Lol
You want to know what it felt like when this song was played back in the 60s??? It felt lonely for the 2 or 3 people who were sitting down because EVERYONE else was on the dance floor. You could not sit still when this song came on. It was a big crowd pleaser. And BTW the Mashed Potato was done with your feet not hands. Thank you both for this great reaction. Takes me back to our high school dances. Love it. 😊👏🇨🇦
They were called "wall flowers" weren't they?
The first time I heard it was on the radio, a.m. of course, WLS in Chicago... Couldn't wait to hit the dance floor...The shoes you're talking about are saddle oxfords...They were a big item for the girls, the guys wanted white bucks...Oh what a time to be alive...Songs like this stirred up the parents ...They didn't want their pasty white kids dancing to this evil music, so of course that's exactly what we did...We couldn't wait to be juvenile deliquents...Love this reaction and love you guys...
...and a pack of "Luckys" rolled up in the sleeve of your tee shirt.
Every local band played this at the clubs. And, yes, this song definitely brought everyone to the dance floor. The only good thing about being old is the wonderful music we had. I'm talking real singers - no auto tune. Just listen to the quality of singing on these old songs. Real, real talent.
Love this song . You guys need to react to dirty dancing now. You'll love it. I've seen it so many times I know it word for word.
Same here 😂
I second this lol
Dear Asia - I hope you love that man as much as he loves you !
Now I can't wait to see you two react to Dirty Dancing!! 😃 And just so you know, I'll be chair dancing right along with you!
I was worried for a minute BJ was gonna stop the music before the surprise "comeback" at the end!
Love that old school rock-n-roll and soul music!!
We used to have little dance parties in our garages. They were very popular. Sometimes when the party was slow to start you'd put on a song guaranteed to get people up and moving. This song was one of those, to be sure! 😁
Always loved this song. ❤❤❤❤❤
Back then, 1962, we did "The Ape". When this song came on you had to dance. I did a mean Ape and the girls loved my moves.
Early 60s "just dance" era. Definitely before the mid to later 60s. Never gets old! Oh yes I was 12 yrs in 1961 doing the Twist and the Mashed Potatoes..lol!!!!!!!!
I was the singer in a cover band and we wanted to do this song, but I just couldn't handle the "watch me now" part. 🙂
The Contours were great. This song is from 1962 and they had a future Temptation Dennis Edwards and Joe Stubbs brother of Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops. Just to name a couple of members. Check out Just A Little Misunderstanding by them. Motown is in the house.
My favorite song. When it comes on the 60’s channel on Sirius I hit replay at least ten times if not more. A great get you moving, feel good song!
According to Wiki: "Do You Love Me" became a successful dance record, built around Gordon's screaming vocals. Selling over a million copies, "Do You Love Me" peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks starting on October 20, 1962, and reached the top position on the Billboard R&B Singles chart.
This is a great example of what the 60's felt like-happy , fun , lot's of laughter, the music was our life-blood. It pulled us all together. A wonderful time! With Love , from Seattle
The very first Motown album YES YES YES
What are you two waiting for, you need to see the film with this song in it. There are other great tracks in Dirty Dancing, song It’s one hell of a amazing song if you raised with this track of this era 👏👏🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️
This was fun. Love this song and I think you guys needs to be on the dance floor with this one. Alot of great songs from the movie "Dirty Dancing". Y'all need to check it out on your movie night.
I was probably 7 or 8 years old and my older sister had this on a 45 RPM and even as a young boy I could appreciate the sound of the snare drum and the bass guitar as well as the groove
God I love this song. Love the way you guys reacted.
Yes! BJ...awesome chair dancer! You two would look great out on the dance floor! And I absolutely love your version of the mashed potato! 😄 Just do the same thing with your feet on the floor.
Too bad you couldn't pull up the original video of the Contours doing this song back when it first came out. So much fun to watch. ❤
Thank you so much!!
OMG I love this song.
First time hearing this was in the movie dirty dancing. I agree, this is a awesome fun dance song. ❤️❤️❤️🥳💃💃
Motown gold from the early 60's.
Love this song so much, such a classic and it's as old as me! You HAVE to watch Dirty Dancing...this was the song they did the 'dirty dancing" to in the movie, so good...Patrick Swayze was amazing and wrote and sang the song from it called 'She's like the wind'
Did the Mashed Potato at Friday night dances when I was a teenager in the early 60s, especially to Dee Dee Sharp's "Mashed Potato Time."
If you’ve seen ‘Standing in the shadow of Motown’ the musicians thought this song was a dud. It fooled them. We loved it!
Awesome song in 1962 and again when the Dave Clark Five did it!❤😎
You two are cute together. I really enjoy watching your reactions. Yes, we didn't get tired of this song! I think it was a song of the sixties. Best wishes!
Those shoes are called saddle oxfords!
I loved this song as a kid. I saw Dirty Dancing live and they performed this you have to dance!!!!!!!!!!!
EVERBODY DID DANCE BACK IN THE Day, parents and kids.
Used to dance wild and crazy to this song, still do all those dances.
Y’all HAVE to put Dirty Dancing on ur Reels channel….this is one of the songs in it!!! Y’all really liked Footloose so I know ull love Dirty Dancing
Watch the “Blues Brothers” movie with the scene of this song. People dancing in the streets. Good times.
A main staple for wedding receptions to get the party going
Another fun song from this era is "Double shot of my babies love"
This is what we were fed when rock was killed off in '58. Dance craze songs, leftover doo-wop, novelty songs, folk music, country crossovers, spoken word records, crooners, surf music, car songs, itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny-yellow-polka-dot-bikini, early motown, Allen Toussaint's Nola music & Phil Spector's wall of sound. But no rock till the British Invasion flooded it back across the pond because the Beatles were unstoppable (Cliff Richard and the Shadows had been easily stopped a year or so earlier) and they brought Blues (the Rolling Stones) and R&B (the Animals) along with them. US Pop radio had to play rock again and eventually FM came in when the kids got serious about their music. Most white kids had never heard of Amos Milburn, Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon et alia until white British & Irish kids started playing music of the 40s and 50s back at them in the 60s.
Back when music was fun! 😊🎸💘😉👌
My sisters used to get me to do the "twist" for their friends to laugh at when they had slumber parties back in mid 1960s!
If you want to see how to do the mashed potatoes, find a video of Dee Dee Sharp singing the song "Mashed Potato Time" with dancers doing the dance in the background. The video most likely will be in black and white. If you can find Black people doing the dance, it would look more like what I did. (BJ: It's about the feet, not the hands.)
This song mentions another song -- "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" -- which is also a song worth a reaction. Get the version by The Tokens who introduced the song to American audience. It's taken from the African song "Mbube" by Solomon Linda & the Evening.
Doing this song with the mention of "mash potato" may make some viewers hungry 😂
I was forteen - this song was my first great jump to the sky !
Wasn't just in Dirty Dancing. It was also featured in Animal House
Great song!!! Very nice reaction. You definitely need to watch Dirty Dancing.
There was so much good music back then it was a joy to get into your car and drive around just to listen to the radio.
You guys gotta watch American Graffiti on your movie review channel. That whole movie is full of this music. And was George Lucas's first big movie. A top five for sure.
For your next adventure in dance, take a look at Chubby Checker's "The Twist." It was also a monster hit!
An all-time classic party song. :)
Now you have to watch Dirty Dancing on your movie reaction channel.
I remember when this song came out. Just a fun song
Awww I love that my Asia❤️❤️ "the SPIRIT to DANCE!!!" Yessss...💃🕺and if ya don't... then ya really need to MOVE!!! right on outta here🤭 Absolutely LOVE this, and your reactions❤️❤️

I raided my parents cassettes as a kid & they loved watching me dance around the house to their music😂
A great classic dance song
The whole "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack ♥️♥️♥️

Always a fun song. Just dancing joy.
I was a gogo girl in the 60's..I did the smash potatoes ..such a fun dance
you're so right, asia, i was movin'
Damn Straight! If THAT isn't The Mashed Potato - it Should Be 👍
Just brilliant.
You guys are pure entertainment!!
That song was a blast and so much fun it makes you want to dance
The Contours were a Motown group.
Great song I remember singing it
LOL. You guys are a trip! Thanks for the laughs.
Our pleasure!
Oh man! We danced to this one. Was in Dirty Dancing too.
Still a big favourite in the Northern Soul clubs.
I believe to do the mashed potato your hands make a fist with your little finger on the bottom thumb on top so back of your hand faces out one fist above the other you tap them together twice.so your right little finger hits your left thumb then you swap your fists and tap twice.i believe it's part of the hand jive in movie grease which is one of those films that everyone has seen even if your not into movies like back to the future, star wars,singin in the rain or dirty dancing.
Love this song rip Patrick swayze 💔
On the video you will see Dennis Edwards of the Temptations.
Love this song!!! It was in Teen Wolf !!
Dee Dee Sharp sang Mash Potatoes
I remember this.you just can't sit still when it comes on.great song.would you react to phillis Nelson."move closer".it's a classic song.just beautiful.its a proper love song.love watching you guys.

I forgot the false ending on this song... This might be the first song ever to use one.
We use to do the twist to this song
