Call me (call me) on the line
Call me, call me any, anytime
Call me (call me) I’ll arrive
You can call me any day or night
Call me
New single: CALL ME “About life cycles, relationship cycles and moving on. When
you close your eyes and imagine the best case scenario for
the future, we will transport you to a dream-like place.”

Turn Up The Volume: This sweet little pop gem charms, enchants and affects by its instantly heart and soul romanticism. In the end John Lennon was/is always right, all you need is love. He and Yoko knew it, Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood knew it, Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes knew it, Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg knew it, Alex Zen and Jacq Andrade know it, and you and I know it. Maybe we should follow Stevie Wonder‘s example more and call a lover/friend/family member just to say I Love You. Sounds sugary? So what, it’s still the best drug ever when you receive that simple three-word message.
BLONDIE released their massive hit CALL ME on 1st February 1980, 40 years ago today. The song was produced and co-written by Italian musician Giorgio Moroder and was the theme song to the 1980 movie American Gigolo with Richard Gere.
The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for six consecutive weeks and became the best selling single of the year in the US. It also was a Number One in the UK and Canada.
