Robert "Bobby" Bloom (January 15, 1946 – February 28, 1974) was an Americansinger-songwriter. He is known best for being a one-hit wonder with the 1970 song, "Montego Bay", which was co-written with and produced by Jeff Barry.
In the early 1960s, Bloom had been a member of the doo-wop group, The Imaginations. He received a big break in 1969 when he was awarded a contract to write and record a jingle for Pepsi, paving the way for his later success with "Montego Bay. He also played a role as a songwriter for the Kama Sutra/Buddah group of labels, co-writing "Mony Mony" for Tommy James and the Shondells, and with Jeff Barry "Sunshine" for The Archies.
Bloom worked as a sound engineer for musicians such as Louis Jordan and Shuggie Otis. Bloom often recorded demos of his songs at the recording studio of MAP City Records, owned by friends Peter Anders and Vincent Poncia Jr., with chief engineer Peter H. Rosen at the controls. Early solo projects included "Love Don't Let Me Down" and "Count on Me."
You're a her, I'm a him
Ain't no position
That I'd rather be in
So, get it up, get it on
Get it going fore
The night is gone
[CHORUS]
Make me happy
Do the thing only you can do
Make, come on and
Make me happy
I'll do my best to
Make you happy too
Chicken lay, rooster crow
Nothing tricky, I'm just
Loving you so
Sunrise, sunset
I won't remember if
You let me forget
[Repeat CHORUS]
I've been up, I've been down
I ain't never been turned around
You make me weak, make me strong
Take it easy, make it last real long
[Repeat CHORUS]
(Make me happy)
Come on and make me happy
(Make me happy)
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
[Repeat CHORUS]
Make, make me happy
