MAKIN' LOVE
FLOYD ROBINSON- "MAKIN' LOVE"
b/w MY GIRL
Floyd Robinson (born 1938) was an American country singer, who was briefly successful in the late 1950s.
Robinson's music is similar stylistically to that of John D. Loudermilk, and Robinson, like Loudermilk, worked as a songwriter. Among his songwriting contributions was "The Little Space Girl", a hit for his cousin, Jesse Lee Turner. Robinson recorded for King Records (1954), RCA Victor, Dot, Jamie, and Groove over the course of his career, and released a full-length album on RCA. He scored one hit single in the US, "Makin' Love", which reached #27 on the Billboard Black Singles chart, and #20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1959. The track reached #9 in the UK Singles Chart the same year.
In the 1990s Robinson self-published two books, the instruction manual, Guitar Playing Made Easy (1992), and the novel The Guitar (1994). He owns a used car dealership, but is still active in the music industry.
