Legendary Motown group the Contours, featuring Sylvester Potts, will play with the BPO in their season finale Pops concert at 8pm on Friday and Saturday nights (June 8 & 9) at Kleinhans Music Hall. Featuring a program of Motown classics from the Temptations, the Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and the Contours themselves, these performances promise to be an old fashioned feel-good time. Under the direction of resident conductor Robert Franz they’ll play hits including “My Girl,” “Get Ready,” “The Way You Do The Things You Do,” “Can’t Help Myself,” “Baby I Need Your Loving,” and “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” The Contours were intensely popular in their day and continue to be so 40 years later, having reclaimed a spot on the national charts with the re-release of “The Time of My Life,” long after the film Dirty Dancing made it popular to a new generation of audiences
