The Contours – Baby Hit And Run

The Contours – Baby Hit And Run

Baby Hit And Run is a high-energy collection from legendary The Contours, one of the original hit-making acts from Motown. Packed with infectious rhythms, powerhouse vocals, and irresistible dance grooves, the album captures the excitement and youthful spirit that helped define the golden era of 1960s Detroit soul.

Best known for their enduring smash hit Do You Love Me?, The Contours were among Motown's most energetic performers, blending gospel-inspired harmonies with driving R&B arrangements that would later become favourites on the Northern Soul scene. Baby Hit And Run showcases the group's versatility, combining dancefloor anthems with heartfelt soul and classic Motown songwriting.

Highlights include the stomping title track Baby Hit And Run, the Northern Soul favourite First I Look At The Purse, the infectious Can You Jerk Like Me?, the soulful It's Growing, and the uplifting Just A Little Misunderstanding. The album closes with the timeless Motown classic Do You Love Me?, one of the label's most recognisable and enduring hits.

A must-have for collectors of classic Motown, soul, and Northern Soul, Baby Hit And Run is an outstanding showcase of The Contours' electrifying performances and the unforgettable songwriting that made Hitsville U.S.A. a global phenomenon.
