From the left Joe Billingslea, Billy Gordon, Billy Hoggs, Hubert Johnson, Sylvester Potts, and Hugh Davis Love it! Much love to the Contours, they were just as bad as any other group period! They had some steps up their sleeves too ![:D](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/MotownForever/Smileys/Smileys2/common048.gif)

Yeah, the Contours was as gritty as the Isley Brothers. I love those hood superstars like that. ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/MotownForever/Smileys5/boygroup5.gif) The Temptations and the Miracles were too pretty. ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/MotownForever/rotf-lol.gif)

I think ((Ant)) is just as bad as ((Honey)) ![](http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v281/MotownForever/Smileys/Smileys2/common069.gif) ... 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.
