Julie, Do Ya Love Me – Bobby Sherman (1970) 

An early ’70s teen pop time capsule with heart and harmony.

Released at the peak of Bobby Sherman’s stardom, “Julie, Do Ya Love Me” is pure bubblegum pop — sweet, simple, and endlessly singable. Written by Tom Bahler and recorded with some of the best session musicians of the era (including James Burton on guitar and Jim Gordon on drums), the track effortlessly blended sunny melodies, polished production, and Sherman’s boy-next-door vocals into a hit that felt tailor-made for every teenage bedroom wall.

 By 1970, Sherman wasn’t just a singer — he was a teen idol juggernaut. With a starring role on Here Come the Brides, regular features in Tiger Beat, and concerts packed with screaming fans, he was the wholesome counterpoint to the rock rebellion of the time.

 “Julie, Julie, do ya love me?” — it’s a question as timeless as pop itself, delivered with the kind of sincerity that made the song soar to:

• No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100

• 🇨🇦 Top 10 in Canada

• A chart presence in several international markets

 While the song might feel like a gentle breeze from a more innocent era, it perfectly encapsulates the charm of early ’70s teen pop — a moment when romance was handwritten in notes, not texted, and love was asked, not assumed.

“Julie, Do Ya Love Me” may not have the weight of a rock anthem, but it doesn’t need it — it’s light, melodic, and emotionally honest, a sugary gem that still brings a smile to those who remember what it felt like to ask… and wait for the answer.
