Hey Lew… I’m not sure that version of the Contours’ “Do You Love Me” is the original recording. You know that this is a big issue with fifties and sixties songs; groups would re-record their hits, it must have had something to do with rights. Anyway, I think this is this original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EoI-6lQFIE xoxoxo
i think you are right. i just got The Contours first LP and the version on it is different. https://www.discogs.com/The-Contours-Do-You-Love-Me-Now-That-I-Can-Dance/master/465327
