I liked their version of “Do You Love Me,” but they were merely a ho-hum pop band that pretended for a year to be London’s answer to the Beatles, just as the Bay City Rollers were going to be Scotland’s answer to the Beatles.
Was it the Contours who did the original version of “Do You Love Me?”? All subsequent covers faded in comparison. Don’t really begrudge the DC5, though. Madonna I begrudge big time; she’s lowered the bar to the ground. Ventures Rock!!!
