Makin' Love Is Good for You is a 2000 album by American blues musician B. B. King, his thirty-eighth studio album.
Like the similar Blues on the Bayou (which also contained a version of "You're on Top", but titled "Blues in G"), it combines blues covers and B.B. King originals, which are re-recordings of songs he had recorded earlier in his career. Three songs originally appeared on the 1960 album King of the Blues: "She's My Baby" had been the opening track under the title "I've Got a Right To Love My Baby", "Ain't Nobody Like My Baby" is a new recording of "Feel Like a Million", and "You're On Top" appears under its original title. "Peace of Mind" was originally a 1961 single. "Too Good To You Baby" is a remake of "The Wrong Road" from Blues in My Heart (released in 1963). "Actions Speak Louder Than Words" appeared on the 1963 release (The Soul of) B.B. King as "You Won't Listen".[original research]
