"I Love You Yes I Do" is a 1947 song 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.
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. Both versions of "I Love You Yes I Do" would be the only times Jackson crossed over to the national pop charts.
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 #17 R&B. He also performs the song in a medley with The Famous Flames on the 1963 album Live at the Apollo.
