I'm Gonna Make You Love Me



Oh go on then, one more before I go and put the deposit down on the apartment and get the tickets for Concepción.

Dear James,

Here's quite the find: Diana Ross and Stevland Morris singing the Diana Ross and The Temptations hit of the same name. I think this is the first time I've ever considered Diana Ross sexy, as opposed to considering her a weird Michael Jackson lookalike. She's less sexy when she patronises the talented blind boy, to the extent that, until he stands up, he look's like a dummy to Diana's ventriloquist.

This song was originally recorded by Dee Dee Warwick, Dionne's less successful sister. It was written by Gamble and Huff, who also wrote the O'Jays' Love Train and the Simply Red classic, If You Don't Know Me By Now. Anyway, back to you Stevie. Bongos and drums indeed!
