Beautiful song and voice... timeless... I can hear it again and again and never be tired of it... thanks Bob.

Thank you for this classic song! ❤️🙏

🌈Love this song the first time I heard it in 1987 watching the fabulous movie “Baghdad Café“… A song with deep feeling that is sad yet uplifting simultaneously. Thank you for posting!😘

"Calling You," from the original soundtrack of Percy Adlon's film Bagdad Cafe, sung by Jevetta Steele. Words and music by Bob Telson. William Galison: harmonica, Bob Telson: keyboards
A DESERT ROAD FROM VEGAS TO NOWHERE
SOMEPLACE BETTER THAN WHERE YOU'VE BEEN 
A COFFEE MACHINE THAT NEEDS SOME FIXING
IN A LITTLE CAFE JUST AROUND THE BEND

I AM CALLING YOU - CAN'T YOU HEAR ME
I AM CALLING YOU

A HOT DRY WIND BLOWS RIGHT THRU ME
THE BABY'S CRYING AND I CAN'T SLEEP
BUT I CAN FEEL A CHANGE IS COMING
COMING CLOSER SWEET RELEASE

I AM CALLING YOU - I KNOW YOU HEAR ME
I AM CALLING YOU
