Yeah, the Contours was as gritty as the Isley Brothers. I love those hood superstars like that. The Temptations and the Miracles were too pretty.

I think ((Ant)) is just as bad as ((Honey)) ... but you are not lying ... Maybe it's just me but, I think the Contours brought a much needed balance for some reason...

Definitely ... Without their forever famous "Do You Love Me", Motown would not have gotten the heavy dance-music rep that it still has today.
