The Contours perform "Do You Love Me"

Legendary Motown group the Contours, featuring Sylvester Potts, will play with the BPO in their season finale Pops concert at 8pm on Friday and Saturday nights (June 8 & 9) at Kleinhans Music Hall. Featuring a program of Motown classics from the Temptations, the Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and the Contours themselves, these performances promise to be an old fashioned feel-good time. Under the direction of resident conductor Robert Franz they’ll play hits including “My Girl,” “Get Ready,” “The Way You Do The Things You Do,” “Can’t Help Myself,” “Baby I Need Your Loving,” and “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” The Contours were intensely popular in their day and continue to be so 40 years later, having reclaimed a spot on the national charts with the re-release of “The Time of My Life,” long after the film Dirty Dancing made it popular to a new generation of audiences
