"Question" is a 1960 hit song written by Lloyd Price and Harold Logan.[2] Lloyd Price's recording was issued as ABC-Paramount single 10123,[3] reaching the Top 10 of the Billboard R&B Singles chart, peaking at #5, and the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #19.[4] The song combines a rhythm and blues musical arrangement with a pop style backing vocal-chorus.
