Bettye Swann released 21 singles. She had six consecutive top-40 R&B hits, 1965-73, including the number one Make Me Yours. On the Hot 100, she had only two top-40 hits: Make Me Yours got to #27 and a remake of Jeannie Seely's 1966 country hit Don't Touch Me reached #38. In May 1969, Swann released a remake of Merrilee Rush's 1968 hit Angel Of The Morning. Juice Newton had a hit in 1981 with a version of the song – but Swann's version never charted.
