‘I’m Gonna Make You Love Me’ was co-written in 1966 by future ‘Philadelphia Records’ supremo Kenny Gamble (see also best songs 896-725-648 and 322,) who at that time was the protege of the established songwriter Jerry Ross (1933-2017.)

In 1968 the song was offered to Dusty Springfield who recommended her friend Madeline Bell, the prolific backing singer to many of the eras top artists, she took her version to Number 26 on Billboard, Springfield can be heard in a roll reversal singing backing vocals.
