"Makin' Love" is a song written and originally released by American country singer Floyd Robinson. He released it as a single in 1959 and was featured on his self-titled debut album the following year.

The song became a hit on the both sides of Atlantic. In the United States it reached no. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and no. 27 on the Billboard Black Singles chart. In the UK it reached no. 9 on the national singles chart.^[1]

In the U.S., "Makin' Love" was controversial because of its suggestive sexual content, and many radio stations pulled it from the airwaves after only a few weeks.
