Remembering when I was young (5) asking mom can I play her records. Yes baby go ahead, Going right to the stack, looking for the Money Records label with the Money logo. Make no mistake about it, this record set it off for the 70ies soul era.....REAL TALK!
This was my favorite song for as long as I could remember in the 60's!! I always told my brothers that this was the way I wanted to grow up, with that kind of love in my life !! I was just a 5 year old kid!!!
OMG I remember my sister and i use to play this song so much until the record started to skip. (lmao) I have had so many good memories with the song, this is the kind of music that i love to hear.
Bettye had a daughter...if memory serves me her name was Adrian, Audrina...in that 'A' name family. Please, anyone having a line on this family please email me Toinado@yahoo.com
ANYONE having any contact information for Bettye Swann-Barton please contact me at Toinado@yahoo.com
My parents were friends of Bettye and her husband George and fell out of touch after many moves and years. I'd like to surprise both my mom and Bettye.
Bettye was not only an outstanding writer and vocalist, she is just a really wonderful woman. I marveled at her going from down to earth Bettye to a beauty in evening gown heading to center stage!
@TexasThickChick : I know girl!! I still have to play old school when I clean on Saturday mornings with the windows and doors open. Nothing else works.

Pleas do not read this. You will be kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. Now you've started to read this. DO NOT STOP. THIS IS SO FREAKY.
1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crushes name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 3 other songs. If you do your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday. But if you read this and do not paste this you will have very bad luck!
I love this song. My siblings and used to sit in my parents' bed at night and sing along with the song when we were living in Newark, NJ. Brings back sweet memories. Thank you for posting.
When I was in middle and high school, my girlfriends and I would sing this song through the halls. Our classmates loved and enjoyed this song. Free concert. These are lyrics, and Bettye sings it with such conviction, and well pronounced. She isn't dragging over the words. Yo can understand what she's saying and singing.
Oh does this song bring back memories to me. I sung this song in a talent show and we rocked the house. And listening to it now really takes me back. Thanks for posting it.
This song evokres so many good memories of my youth, although I was only 10yrs old when this song came out, it still sounds as sweet today as it did 44 yrs ago....Good music is timeless.....
OMG, i'm so glad there are still sooooo many of us who love REAL music. This is great. I've been looking for this for years. Thanks sandfordway and youtube.
This song makes one feel what music realy "IS". Every time I here it, I break down, dance, snap my finger, call someone that I love and feel happy with my life. That is how strong, and how much, I love this song.
Oh how I miss the 60s when songs were sweet and mellow and composers wrote from the heart and singers sang from the heart and despite the social issues of the day, somehow it still seems like it was just the greatest musical decade. Thanks for the memories.
Songs about love were played out, even when this song was written. Songs about love have completely lost all meaning because it's the easiest and least creative thing to write songs about.
I wish people who played this kind of music were more thoughtful, and sang about real art, rather than repeating age old love lines that they heard from artists before them.
@Playcircus omg! Love songs always have meaning! They're not played out as artists are still making love songs to this day! What "real art" do you want the artists to sing about? This music is pleasant and doesn't degrade anyone, especially women (i'm not saying you like bad music lol)!
this music hold so much pleasent memories for me i remember my mother playing this back in the days.thank you youtube for bringin bac some wondeful memories.
this takes me back to 1972 . we had a great night at the mecca. but got pulled in by the drugs squad as we travelled out of blackpool so we spent a few hours at blackpool cop shop then they let us go . chris kemp was driving it was a sunny morning this was playing in the car as we headed back to stoke i was young and in love still married to the same girl
Yeah these an others take me back. When love was so innocent and pure. Luv this. whoever posted this put these songs together, great job. One you could add is Betty Wright song. Girls can't do what the guys do.
This is the type of music that nourishes the soul. I hope to live long enough to again see the love the black people expressed toward each other when we were wearing dashikis and had big afros and the music was about falling in love and caring for each other.
I wish she had a website, so I could buy her album and know that she's getting the money! I read on wikipedia she has a degenerative spinal condition? so unfair
@christheone8773 this kind of music soes your gooood. There was just so much beauty in music back in the day, it had meaning ,soul and inspiration and it still hasn't gotten old to me. Thank you to who ever put this up. twinsis58
@drsthurman I totally agree. Because even as a child growing up and listening to this, it made you think how in love she must be and how listening to it made you feel. Great music can definitely do that.
@svi9 But the thing about it all is how did ppl grow to be so nasty, No respect no values on life anymore and most inportant where has all the LOVE gone, but one thing they must beleive as said in the Emotions song FLOWER "GOD IS WATCHING YOU" and you make sure you have a very blesses day and keep listing because there is!! a message in the music. and that message means PEACE OF MIND listening to music.
Bettye Swann does the definitive original version of this lovely soulful song, but Robin Pluer of the R&B Cadets sings a perfectly heart-tugging cover of it. Please, somebody post that on YouTube.
I love the Betty Swanne recordings on the Money label. This was the first one I bought, and found it by accident looking for the ZZ Hill version - So glad i did!
I love this song. Everytime I listen to this song I think about the wonderful husband that I have. It makes me appreciate everything that I have. This would be a good wedding song. It is a very romantic but yet fun song. It's the kind of song to dance to and yet appreciate at the same time. Classy song.! love it!
I was 11 or 12 still living in N.O. when I bought this 45. Still have the 45 and still play it...it's getting a little white and worn but I can still hear it.
I've always enjoyed this song, but I had never seen her picure. She is very attractive; I am surprised she did not have a bigger career. In today's era, recording companies would have invested more into her material to capitalize on her beauty.
Today is the first time I've ever heard this song. My mother and Bettye Champion grew up together, and my mom would tell me stories about their friendship, religious views, and her singing career. This is a lovely song.
My Mom had some 14 Brothers and Sisters, and when they all got together what a time we had! There's only Mom, one Brother and one Sister now, but when I Listen to this Song, I can see their Loving Faces, and a Beatiful sunny day on the Hill where I lived in Sallis, Miss. off highway 14 so Mrs. Swan, may GOD Bless, and Keep You, "Thanks for the Memories. SFC(RET) Hubert R. Evans US Army
I remember hearing this song on the radio all the time as a little kid in 70's. I didn't know who it was by, but remember loving it. A true soul classic.
Hey wat can i say i kinda like it. but my mom on the other hand............. i know some of yall no how that go!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) LOL My mom really luvs this sing
Soul classic from Bettye, "Make Me Yours" is so memorable and everything this soulful DIVA sang is great stuff...whatever happened to this classic lady? Bravo Bettye!!!
Wow I remember this joint. wen I was a child I use to ask my mom can I play her records and this was the record I play first and the most.. SOULFUL AND CRAZY FLAVA. Point blank this shit is hot....REAL TALK
All credit to the late Dave Godin for spreading the word on this timeless gem in the UK - via his column in Blues & Soul. Often cited by Dave as his "all-time favourite Soul recording", it was released on CBS in the UK, and was later reissued on Mojo. Jackie Moore released a nice version, on Kayvette in 1977.
I'm only 24 and I love this song!!! I just called my mom and let her listen to it and she still remembers the words! And she's 61! Thank you for posting!
That's because she was only 19 or 20 and this was the kind of music we got in Chicago only to realize daily that Vietnam was taking so many young men from their familes. If you enjoy this, listen to "Tell Him" by Patty Drew. bilbo2shire
I have been looking for this song for ages. A million thanks for posting. I could only hear this played some Sundays on the radio once a month or so, now I can listen to this song every day
back in 1965 when i was 12, i had a gf who lived in KS and I was in Mass and this was our song. I know this sounds simple, but back then she was my everythang and this song was our bond.
This song, as so many have stated brings back some wonderful memories. I was only ten at the time, but I had older cousins who played this song at all the parties, and I'll never forget our family parties with unforgettable friends. What a song!!! A classic for many, many years to come.
Wow!..Do I remember this!...puts these singers masquerading a "soul singers" today to shame. and i try not to talk that way too much..but this lady is sho nuff the real deal
What a beautiful song. Every time I listen to it I feel like she's singing it to me. The words tell a story that you can write a book, a movie out of it. She made it a # 21 hit on the billboard charts in 1967 and I'm dumbfounded she didn't score a dozen more just like it. She had the talent but I guess the wrong management. If I were her manager I would have taken her to Motown or Atlantic records & she would have been a superstar with such a lovely voice with such conviction. What say you!!
i was born and raised in Africa, i remember hearing her song " make my yours " for the first time. i did not understand a word she was saying, just fall in love with her voice. here i am in my 40's still adore her. i don't think anybody replaced her beutiful voice. God bless you Betty.
I saw Bettye Swann LIVE in ,68/'69 on a show with the 5 Stairsteps,Trone Davis & others. She was GREAT,not only vocally but beautiful with great stage presense.
Know you talking now, Tone that's what they should do with Motown 50, do the old Motown travelilng circuit, but alas that's not going to be the case, although everyone's supposed to be there.
Just adore Bettye Swanns voice, love this song but my favourite is 'You gave me love' which sadly i could sing to my exhusband, still feel the guilt and pain of what i did, and this song sums it up!
If only I had read the info section I would've known why her heart was so warm,she serves "The True God".Guess what Ms. Bettye,I know "Jehovah",I'm working my way back,finding you is truly encouraging,"Seek And You Will Find".

All credit to the late Dave Godin for spreading the word on this timeless gem in the UK - via his column in Blues & Soul. Often cited by Dave as his "all-time favourite Soul recording", it was released on CBS in the UK, and was later reissued on Mojo. Jackie Moore released a nice version, on Kayvette in 1977.

That's because she was only 19 or 20 and this was the kind of music we got in Chicago only to realize daily that Vietnam was taking so many young men from their familes. If you enjoy this, listen to "Tell Him" by Patty Drew. bilbo2shire

This song, as so many have stated brings back some wonderful memories. I was only ten at the time, but I had older cousins who played this song at all the parties, and I'll never forget our family parties with unforgettable friends. What a song!!! A classic for many, many years to come.

What a beautiful song. Every time I listen to it I feel like she's singing it to me. The words tell a story that you can write a book, a movie out of it. She made it a # 21 hit on the billboard charts in 1967 and I'm dumbfounded she didn't score a dozen more just like it. She had the talent but I guess the wrong management. If I were her manager I would have taken her to Motown or Atlantic records & she would have been a superstar with such a lovely voice with such conviction. What say you!!

i was born and raised in Africa, i remember hearing her song " make my yours " for the first time. i did not understand a word she was saying, just fall in love with her voice. here i am in my 40's still adore her. i don't think anybody replaced her beutiful voice. God bless you Betty.

I saw Bettye Swann LIVE in ,68/'69 on a show with the 5 Stairsteps,Trone Davis & others. She was GREAT,not only vocally but beautiful with great stage presense.

Know you talking now, Tone that's what they should do with Motown 50, do the old Motown travelilng circuit, but alas that's not going to be the case, although everyone's supposed to be there.

Just adore Bettye Swanns voice, love this song but my favourite is 'You gave me love' which sadly i could sing to my exhusband, still feel the guilt and pain of what i did, and this song sums it up!

If only I had read the info section I would've known why her heart was so warm,she serves "The True God".Guess what Ms. Bettye,I know "Jehovah",I'm working my way back,finding you is truly encouraging,"Seek And You Will Find".
