- "Can You Jerk Like Me" (Gordy G7037) is a 1964 R&B song by Motown Records group The Contours, issued on its Gordy Records subsidiary. It charted on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #47, and a Top 20 hit on its R&B chart, reaching #15. A single-only release, it did not appear on any original Contours studio album, as the group only had one album release during their five years on the label, 1962's "Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance)". (Note: It has been recently revealed that this song was recorded for a planned, but unreleased, Contours album for Motown in 1964 entitled The Contours: Can You Dance (Gordy 910). This album was released, in modified form, by the import label, Kent Records, in 2011 under the name Dance With The Contours under license from Motown Records). 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:
* An instrumental version of "Can You Jerk Like Me" (the original backing track), was released by Motown's house band Earl Van Dyke and The Funk Brothers (under the pseudonym 'Earl Van Dyke and The Soul Brothers' on their 1965 album That Motown Sound (Motown 631)
* Instrumental group The T-Bones also recorded a version of The Contours' "Can You Jerk Like Me", on their 1965 LP entitled Doin The Jerk. (en)
