About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Detroit's Contours had a huge hit in 1962 with "Do You Love Me," a fiery blast of rough-edged R&B (featuring lead singer Billy Gordon), but the group quickly became an anomaly at Motown, where carefully crafted pop-soul was the order of the day. They managed hits with "Shake Sherry" and the Smokey Robinson tune "First I Look at the Purse," but numerous lineup changes (future Temptations singer Dennis Edwards was a member for a while) and a sound that moved against the grain at Motown soon idled them on the back burner. The Contours enjoyed a revival in the late '80s when the movie Dirty Dancing prominently featured the original "Do You Love Me" on the soundtrack, which led to the group re-recording several of their hits for a new market. Unfortunately the magic was long gone, and the 1980s versions on this collection have none of the raw power and emotion of the originals. Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
