"Make This Love Right" (more commonly known as "The Ball and Chain"[1]), is a single written and produced by New Jersey garage house producer Romanthony.
The song was originally released on Romanthony's label Black Male Records of New Jersey in 1991[citation needed] and later released on Azuli Records in 1993.
[2] The nickname for the record comes from the prominent lines in the song: The ball and chain, will never break me down well.
[3] Copies of the record were routinely sold for close to IE£100 (€127) in the city[citation needed] and it received extensive air-play on mainstream local radio and in nightclubs.
[citation needed] Such was the demand for the record in Cork that a special repress was made in the year 2000.
