1961 recording

In 1961, Bull Moose Jackson recorded a new version of the song without his band. The new version hit number ten on the R&B chart, and number 98 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] Both versions of "I Love You Yes I Do" were the only times Jackson crossed over to the national pop chart.

Cover versions

James Brown recorded a cover version of the song in 1961 which failed to chart, though its B-side, "Just You and Me, Darling", charted number 17 on the R&B chart.[3] He also performed the song in a medley with The Famous Flames on the 1963 album, Live at the Apollo.[4]
