"Love You I Do" is a song recorded by American singer and actress Jennifer Hudson for the soundtrack of the 2006 musical film Dreamgirls.
The music for the song was written by Henry Krieger, composer of the original Broadway play, with lyrics by Siedah Garrett.
"Love You I Do" is a R&B and soul song inspired by the early 1960s work of female singers such as Aretha Franklin and Mary Wells.
Effie is performing the piece to Curtis for review, hoping it will win her a song of her own on a record instead of remaining a mere backup singer for Jimmy Early.
At the Academy Awards ceremony, Hudson performed "Love You I Do" as a duet with her co-star, Beyoncé Knowles.
