I had a nice LIZurely time LIZtening to right-track's thread, LIZ!
Well, I tried to think if I knew (on my own) of any R&B or Soul song from the 60s or 70s so that I could contribute *something* to this thread. Only one song came to mind:
"Do you love me," the 1962 hit single recorded by The Contours for Motown's Gordy Records label.
The only reason I heard this song when I was younger is that it was in the movie
Dirty Dancing. I like this song because it is peppy and happy. It makes
me want to dance...which is kind of rare these days. I like the beat, the catchy tune, the clapping, and the decreases and then surprise increases in volume.
I also like the singer's voice that can be warm sometimes but scratchy and raw at other times. A very playful and fun song, I feel! I even don't mind that it's about infatuation (since usually I don't like love songs...especially mushy ones...but this one isn't mushy).
So, is this R&B? It isn't soul, is it? Whatever it is, I like it:
