Love Makin' Love To You info

[Rick Henry]

I'm always searching to find as much information about Karen's unreleased solo songs. My latest find is info on "Love Makin' Love To You".

Last week I was in the thrift store and ran across a used copy of a 1976 album by Engelburt Humperdinck called "After The Lovin'". This was a best seller and brought him back into the top 10. The album includes the song "Love Makin' Love To you".

Before I move onto the new information I've discovered about the song here is some older information that has already made the rounds.

The song which is originally titled "I Love Makin' Love To You" reached #50 in 1975 by Evie Sands.

For the newest info the song was written by Bobby Eli and Terry Collins. Bobby Eli was born on March 2, 1955. He is a founding member of both soul groups TSOP and MFSB. He's written or produced "Love Won't Let Me Wait" recorded by Major Harris, "Sideshow" recorded by Blue Magic, "This Time Baby" by Jackie Moore amongst many others.

I wasn't able to find any information on Terry Collins. Though the information I did find explains the somewhat R&B influence to Karen's recording.

This isn't the only song of her solo recordings to be recorded or written by an R&B influenced musician. "Something's Missing" is previously recorded by an R&B singer - I forget her name. Vickie Sue Robinson first recorded "Don't Try To Win Me Back Again".

Interesting

My mother used to listen to Engelburt Humperdinck a lot in the '70s..., I'll check if she had that album with the song *Love Makin' Love To You* somewhere.

Thanks for that info Rick! Love Makin Love is my favorite Karen solo tune. I remember along time ago we discussed how it shares similarities to Only Yesterday.
