Best known for her songs "Mashed Potatoes Time" and it's follow-up "Gravy (For My Mashed Potatoes)", it's little surprise that Dee Dee Sharp was once roped in for a Campbell Soup Company campaign to get consumers to use low fat soup in their Thanksgiving "Mashed Potatoes". But Dee Dee sang more than just about mashed potatoes.
