Profile:Best known for her 1967 R&B chart-topper "Make Me Yours," 

Southern soul chanteuse Bettye Swann was born Betty Jean Champion

singles for the independent Los Angeles label Money. "The Man That Said No"

 and "The Heartache Is Gone" followed in 1965, and two years later,

 Swann returned with the gorgeous "Make Me Yours," which also served as

 the title for her first full-length LP. 1967 saw the release of three more
