Great R&B Groups: The Contours

The Contours


   The Contours were a Group signed to Motown in 1961, but with only a few hits they quickly faded to the back and became almost unknowns; apart from a re-emergence in the 1980's through the movie Dirty Dancing, their recognition has been next to nothing. please take a listen here and have a great Wednesday: Can you do it , Just a little misunderstanding , The day when she needed me , First I look at the Purse , Whole lotta Woman , The stretch , Can you jerk like me , Shake Sherry  and Do you love me
