565 The Contours “Do You Love Me” 1962

“Discovered by Berry Gordy, the Contours were formed in the early ‘60s, as one of Motown’s first recording acts. Shortly thereafter, Gordy wrote ‘Do You Love Me’ for the group, which…went on to become the fastest-climbing Motown hit of all time. It shot to the No. 2 record in America slot in 1962…the use of ‘Do You Love Me’ on the ‘Dirty Dancing’ soundtrack catapulted it onto the charts yet again—25 years after it first took the nation by storm” (Katie McDowell, The Dominion Post (Morgantown, WV), 10/4/2007).
