While "Be My Baby" was by far their biggest hit, The Ronettes did have a handful of other Top 40 hits. This was their fourth consecutive Top 40 hit, peaking at #34 in 1964. Fantastic Wall of Sound recording and one of my favorite Phil Spector songs.
Here's a little history from The Pop History Dig:
In the summer of 1964, “Do I Love You,” a joint composition by Spector and writers Vinnie Poncia and Pete Androli, was recorded by the Ronettes. The song’s production is especially noted for its powerful introduction. And despite reaching only No. 34 and No. 35, respectively in the U.S. and U.K., “Do I Love You” is regarded by many critics as one of Spector and the Ronettes’ best recordings. The song opens with finger snapping and hand clapping, with Ronnie singing her “oh-oh’s,” backed by a lush chorus and full instrumentation.
