Love You To

"Love You To" is a song by the English rock group the Beatles from their 1966 album Revolver. It is sung and written by George Harrison and features Indian instrumentation such as sitar and tabla. "Love You To" was the first Beatles song to fully reflect the influence of Indian classical music, following Harrison's sitar playing on "Norwegian Wood" in 1965. The recording features minimal participation from Harrison's bandmates; instead, he created the track with tabla player Anil Bhagwat and other Indian musicians from the Asian Music Circle in London.

Harrison wrote the composition partly as a love song to his wife, Pattie Boyd. The lyrics also incorporate philosophical themes inspired by his experimentation with the hallucinogenic drug LSD. For musical inspiration, Harrison drew from the work of master sitarist Ravi Shankar, who became his sitar tutor shortly after the song's recording.

"Love You To" has been hailed by musicologists and critics as groundbreaking in its presentation of a non-Western musical form to rock audiences, particularly with regard to authenticity and avoidance of parody. As such, the song introduced listeners of contemporary pop music to a genre and culture that Harrison would promote for the rest of his career.Ronnie Montrose, Bongwater, Jim James and Cornershop are among the artists who have covered "Love You To".

I Just Want to Make Love to You

I Just Want to Make Love to You is a 1954 blues song written by Willie Dixon, first recorded by Muddy Waters, and released as Just Make Love to Me (Chess 1571). The song reached number four on Billboard magazine's R&B Best Sellers chart.

Backing Waters' vocals on the single were Little Walter on harmonica, Jimmy Rogers on guitar, Otis Spann on piano, Willie Dixon on bass, and Fred Below on drums. Waters recorded the song again for the album Electric Mud (1968).

Cover versions

Etta James version

In 1961, Etta James recorded the song for her début album At Last!. Her rendition also served as the B-side to her hit of that name and became popular in the UK in 1996 after featuring in a Diet Coke advertising campaign. As a result, the song was released as a single there. The Etta James version contains lyrical changes that affect the meaning of the song. For example, "I don't want you to make my bed" becomes "I just want to make your bed". Instead of forgoing the traditionally female domestic chores eschewed in the original, the lyrics that Ms. James sings clearly state that she wants to perform all of those duties as well as "make love to you", whereas in the original, the male singer is essentially saying that his lover need not perform any of the traditional domestic duties—love making is all he needs.
