Artist Bio:
The Contours were an American R&B and soul music group formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1959. They are best known for their hit song "Do You Love Me," which was released in 1962 and became a major hit, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song is considered a classic in the soul music genre and has been featured in various movies and TV shows over the years.
The group's original lineup consisted of Billy Gordon, Billy Hoggs, Joe Billingslea, Leroy Fair, and Hubert Johnson. The Contours continued to release music throughout the 1960s, but they never quite replicated the success of "Do You Love Me." Despite this, they remained popular on the oldies circuit and continued to perform live. The group's music has continued to resonate with audiences, and they are remembered as a significant part of the Motown sound of the 1960s.
