About Calling You
"Calling You" is a song written by Bob Telson for the 1987 film Bagdad Cafe, in which it serves as the central musical theme. First recorded by American R&B and gospel music singer Jevetta Steele, the track appears prominently throughout the film and on its accompanying soundtrack. Steele's interpretation drew widespread critical praise for its sparse arrangement and emotive vocal delivery, helping the song become a top-10 hit in France and Sweden. Telson also recorded his own version for the soundtrack. "Calling You" went on to receive a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 61st Academy Awards, and has since been covered by numerous artists, including Celine Dion, who released a live rendition as a single in 1994.
