| - %22Do You Love Me%22 is a 1962 hit single recorded by The Contours for Motown's Gordy Records label. Written and produced by Motown CEO Berry Gordy, Jr., %22Do You Love Me?%22 was the Contours' only Top 40 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. Notably, the record achieved this feat twice, once in 1962 and again in 1988. A main point of the song is to name the Mashed Potato, The Twist, and a variation of the title %22I like it like that%22, as %22You like it like this%22, and many other fad dances of the 1960s.The song is noted for the spoken recitation heard in the introduction which goes: %22You broke my heart,/ 'Cause I couldn't dance./ You didn't even want me around./ And now I'm back,/ to let you know,/ I can really shake 'em down.%22.The song is noted for its false ending at 2:26.
