unusual facts about Do You Love Me


Prelude to History

The album saw minor success with a peak position of number 44 on the Germany albums chart, and spawned two moderately successful singles with double A-side "Walking on Sunshine/Call Me, Beep Me", and a remake of The Contours' "Do You Love Me".


Benny Benjamin

Among the Motown songs Benjamin performed the drum tracks for are early hits such as "Money (That's What I Want)" by Barrett Strong and "Do You Love Me" by The Contours; as well as later hits such as "Get Ready" by The Temptations, "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" by Stevie Wonder, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Gladys Knight & the Pips and "Going To A Go-Go" by The Miracles.
