I Love You Yes I Do

"I Love You Yes I Do" is a 1947 single by Bull Moose Jackson and His Bearcats. The single was Jackson's first number one on the R&B Juke Box chart, spending three weeks at the top spot and peaking at number twenty-four on the pop chart.[1]

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 ninety-eight on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] Both versions of "I Love You Yes I Do" would be the only times Jackson crossed over to the national pop charts.
