Me" was offered to Dusty Springfield who recorded for Philips Records, the UK equivalent of Mercury Records. Springfield passed the song on to Madeline Bell, her friend and regular background vocalist. Springfield sang backup vocals on Bell's version, which was featured on Bell's 1967 Philips album release Bell's a Poppin. According to Bell "nothing happened with [the album] and the tapes were sent over to America and this one guy took a shine to 'I’m Gonna Make You Love Me'. He printed up 10,000 copies and he sent them round the radio stations and they started playing it. I got a call from Philips in London to say that I had a record moving up the US charts and I had to go to America to promote it.

An I'm Gonna Make You Love Me album became Bell's only full-length release to appear on a major chart reaching No. 46 on the US R&B album chart. The summer of 1968 saw the release of another version of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" as a single, this one on Cadet Concept by Aesop's Fables a Long Island-based blues/rock unit led by Sonny Bottari.

Motown version "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" was the lead single, released in November 1968, from the duets album Diana Ross & the Supremes Join The Temptations; the track was produced by Frank Wilson along with Nickolas Ashford who had
