"I Love You Yes I Do" is an October 1947 single by Bull Moose Jackson and his Buffalo Bearcats. The song was written by Henry Glover and Sally Nix.[1] The single was Jackson's first number one on the US Billboard R&B chart, spending three weeks at the top spot and peaking at number 24 on the pop chart.[2]
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. Both versions of "I Love You Yes I Do" were the only times Jackson crossed over to the national pop chart.
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]
