Not a Motown song, Bobby also recorded a version of "Do What You Gotta Do" which is probably my top fave Four Tops record. Bobby's version isn't a patch on that - but for me no one does it like The Tops anyway.

DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO was also released as a single and was the title to his 1968 LP which contained this, another medley :

Oh damn, I actually quite like that. For some reason my mind was opposed to the idea of liking Bobby Vee, damnit, lolQuote:

Too bad that's one of the few King-Goffin songs before they went commercial after Screen Gems-Colpix gave them to The Monkees, that were not sung by Soul-tinted Soul/Pop groups and single artists like The Drifters, Freddie Scott, Cookies, Darlene McRea, Ramona King. The same is true of "I Can't Stay Mad at You".
