Do You Love Me

The Contours recorded the song in June 1962 at Hitsville U.S.A. in Detroit. Berry Gordy wrote and produced the session, with Billy Gordon on lead vocals. Released on Gordy Records, the single became the Contours’ breakthrough and one of Motown’s early national pop hits. It reached No. 1 on the R&B chart and No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The original recording returned to the Hot 100 in 1988 after its use in Dirty Dancing, giving the song a second chart life. It remains the Contours’ signature record and a lasting Motown standard.
