"I'll Make Him Love Me" by Barbara Lewis

Michigan singer and songwriter Barbara Lewis had a big splash debut when her classic "Hello Stranger" landed at #3 in 1963. She scored a handful of other top 40 hits throughout the decade including "Puppy Love" (#38), "Baby, I'm Yours" (#11), "Make Me Your Baby" (#11), and "Make Me Belong To You" (#28). She really liked songs with "make" in the title!

Her final chart appearance was in 1967 when the peppy and wonderful "I'll Make Him Love Me" stalled at #72. This one sounded like top 10 material to my ears, but Lewis could not make radio love her anymore.
