Pat Cooley - "That's What Love Will Make You Do"

"That's What Love Will Make You Do" sounds like the blues and I love this song!  

Pat says 'that's what love will do for you, that's what love will make you do.  No matter how hard I fight it, baby, I'm still in love with you!'

Here is Pat Cooley's bio as published on the the Blues Critic/Soul Blues Music website - see https://www.soulbluesmusic.com/patcooley.htm.  Thank you Blues Critic!!!

Born January 3rd, Pat Cooley was the oldest of 3 children born to Robert & Marie Cooley. Pat started singing at the age of 10, at a church choir anniversary in her hometown of Marietta, Ga. While attending school she sang in the senior and junior church choirs. She also took private voice lessons from Worldwide Opera star Lillian Sullivan.

After graduating school, Pat started singing in R&B Clubs in the Atlanta area and performing sound alike tapes for a local recording studio. While appearing in local clubs she was approached by Clarence Carter who was interested in recording her. She began working for Clarence as his secretary in his recording studio and would help in the studio sometimes doing back-up work or laying demos. By 1980 she was Clarence's opening act.

In 1983 she decided to diversify her music style and went on a DOD Tour with a Country & Western Band, which turned out to be quite a success. Her travels include Turkey, Greece, Beirut, Italy and Spain. She also entertained troops in Beirut and sang on the USS Iwo Jima and the USS Portland.

In 1984 Pat went on tour, and her travels that year included South Africa, Japan, Italy, Amsterdan and Paris. After being so warmly received, In 1987 Pat recorded and released her first album entitled "Double Talk" for Ichiban. Six years later she returned with "Warm Hug" with help from Clarence Carter. She didn't really find her footing and audience until 13 years later when she began promoting herself in  the burgeoning Southern Soul scene. In 2006 she issued "Real Thing", which was a co itmbination of old tracks of hers mixed with more recent material. Her 1987 track "I Ain't Going Where You Go" was moderately successful despite it's dated sound, which lead to her first hit. She recorded a single entitled "Older Woman, Younger Man" from the Bigg Robb CD "Blues, Soul, and Old School" and there's been no looking back. Since then she placed at least a half dozen songs on Southern Soul charts.
