You 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.
Do you love me?
(I can really move,)
Do you love me?
(I'm in the groove.)
Now do you love me?
(Do you love me now that I can dance?)
Watch me, now.
(Work, work)
Ah, work it out baby.
(work, work)
Well, you’re drivin' me crazy.
(work, work)
With just a little bit of soul, now
(work!)
Now I can mash potatoes, I can do the twist,
Tell me, baby, do you like it like this?
Tell me,
(Tell me,)
Tell me.
Do you love me?
(I can really move,)
Do you love me?
(I'm in the groove.)
Now do you love me?
(Do you love me now that I can dance?)
Watch me, now.
(Work, work)
Ah, work it out baby.
(work, work)
Well, you’re drivin' me crazy.
(work, work)
With just a little bit of soul, now
(work!)
Now I can mash potatoes, I can do the twist,
Tell me, baby, do you like it like this?
Tell me,
(Tell me,)
i always assumed dave was the lead singer. mike's vocals had the dynamic tension that many rock singers emulated all the way up to the present day. his style was ahead of it's time, imo. i was surprized to discover despite selling over 100 million albums, he died virtually broke :(.
JUST MISSED!!! In the U.S.A "Do You Love Me" just missed making the Billboard's Hot Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 10 weeks in the Hot Top 100 in 1964...
Two years earlier in 1962 Motown's The Contours took their original version to No. 3...
Powerhouse! Even better than the original Isley Bros version and superior to Brian Poole and the Tremeloes. Mike Smith had one of the great Rock voices alongside Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper and Noddy Holder.
I like very much the music , but it is a shame that the really singer not appears singinng. It is not the drummer , the singer is MIke Smth on
the keyboard
Mike Smith, certainly one of the greatest rock singers from that era, or from anytime for that matter. Not taking anything away from Dave Clark, a great drummer and all, but a lot of drummers could have filled his shoes.... But, without Mike Smith's vocals, they would never have been the huge success that they were. That sax was the icing on the cake that make it sound so good!
Yeah, great song, but what a bizarre clip! The most distinctive thing about the band was the gravelly voice of lead singer Mike Smith, which was unusual for the time. His powerful vocals dominate the hit single and this live TV performance. Yet the camera doesn't even find him till a minute and a half in -- and then he gets all of five seconds. I find it so disconcerting that I can't even enjoy this.
They had a unique dynamic for a first wave British Invasion band because they incorporated a saxophone into their front line. Most of the first wave bands were exclusively guitar groups.
