[1][2] The song's flip side, the Smokey Robinson-written-and-produced "That Day When She Needed Me", which featured the original Contours before their departure, was also a hit, reaching #37 on the Cash Box R&B chart.
Both songs have appeared on several Contours Motown compilation CD collections: A powerful, propulsive up-tempo rocker, tailor-made for Motown's dynamic Contours, this was one of several songs based on The Jerk, a popular 1960s dance craze.
[citation needed] With the sole exception of Contours lead vocalist Billy Gordon (who sang lead on the group's biggest hit, the million-selling "Do You Love Me"), and guitarist Huey Davis, all of the rest of the members – Joe Billingslea, Billy Hoggs, Hubert Johnson, and Sylvester Potts – quit the group...and the label.
Keeping Gordon and Davis, Gordy then built a new Contours group around them, with new members including Jerry Green, Council Gay, and Alvin English.
Joe Stubbs would also leave shortly after; the reconstituted group with Dennis Edwards as lead continued to record with Motown through 1967.
