The group is called The Contours. You can find the song on the Dirty Dancing sound track.
You broke my heart
'Cause I couldn't dance
You didn't even want me around
And now I'm back, to let you know
I can really shake 'em down
Do you love me? (I can really move)
Do you love me? (I'm in the groove)
Ah do you love? (Do you love me)
Now that I can dance (dance)
Watch me now, oh (work, work)
Ah, work it all baby (work, work)
Well, you're drivin' me crazy (work, work)
With a little bit of soul now (work)
I can mash-potatoe (I can mash-potatoe)
And I can do the twist (I can do the twist)
Now tell me baby (tell me baby)
Mmm, do you like it like this (do you like it like this)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me
Do you love me? (Do you love me)
Now, do you love me? (Do you love me)
Now, do you love me? (Do you love me)
Now that I can dance (dance)
Watch me now, oh (work, work)
Ah, shake it up, shake it (work, work)
Ah, shake 'em, shake 'em down (work, work)
Ah, little bit of soul now (work)
(work, work)
Ah, shake it, shake it baby (work, work)
Ah, you're driving me crazy (work, work)
Ah, don't get lazy (work)
I can mash-potatoe (I can mash-potatoe)
And I can do the twist (I can do the twist)
Well now tell me baby (tell me baby)
Mmm, do you like it like this (do you like it like this)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me
Do you love me? (Do you love me?)
Now, do you love me? (Do you love me?)
Now, do you love me? (Do you love me?)
(Now, now, now)
(work, work)
Ah, I'm working hard baby (work, work)
Well, you're driving me crazy (work, work)
And don't you get lazy (work)
(work, work)
Ah, hey hey baby (work, work)
Well, you're driving me crazy (work, work)
And don't you get lazy (work)

Actually, the Contours' version was the original (1962)...it was resurrected for use in 'Dirty Dancing'...
Their version never charted in the UK, although it was a strong seller - the honours here went to two 'Limey' covers - The DC5 (in a small way) and a frantic 'beat' version by Brian Poole & The Tremeloes (in a big way...#1 in '63)

Yep, I would have said the Brian Poole/Tremeloes was the best known rendition :)

According to my very accurate, reliable Billboard chart book, the Dave Clark Five version peaked at #11 in the U.S. in 1964.
