Bluedreamer's Choice No 7
**************************
"I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" is a soul song, written by Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff and Jerry Ross in 1966 which was a Top 20 R&B hit for Dee Dee Warwick in 1966-1967 and then a Top 30 Pop hit in 1968 for Madeline Bell before having its most successful incarnation as a recording by Diana Ross & the Supremes with The Temptations which reached #2 in January 1969. Ross & the Supremes and the Temptations performed several of the songs from their joint album on their headlining TCB television special which aired in December 1968 and it was originally planned that their rendition of "The Impossible Dream", the special's climactic performance, be their joint album's lead single. Indeed the Ross/Supremes & Temptations version was never to be performed live (the Temptations did perform "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" on The Ed Sullivan Show and Diana Ross performed the song on The Hollywood Palace duetting with Stevie Wonder).***************************
