I wanted to play this song for my mother when she died after 8 years of Alzheimer's disease because when I was young we watched Bagdad Cafe many times together and we used to listen to this soundtrack frequently, on cassette, in the car when we used to often drive in the countryside of rural New South Wales, Australia together. It was a very bonding era for us after leaving our life and dear family friends and my older sisters in the big city of Brisbane, 12 hours drive away. But when my mother died her partner hijacked her death and funeral and I wasn't welcome to contribute to her funeral as I wanted to, so I didn't end up being able to play this song, (or any other) for her funeral. That was in 2018, and all these years later when I occasionally play this song it still cuts deep but also soothes me and reminds me of a time in my life when my mother and I were extremely close. Amazing song and singer. Nobody can sing this like Jevetta. Much love to you all who hold this song dear, and the movie as well.

Went to see this little gem of a movie called Bagdad Cafe in the late 80’s and fell in love with it’s wonderful, quirky characters. I’ll never forget that as we were leaving the theater everyone, and I mean everyone, was softly singing “I………am calling you”. It was magical

Nous sommes en 2024 , cette chanson et ce film sont gravés dans ma mémoire pour toujours 💖

No one else will ever sing this song the way Jevetta Steele did.

Phenonamel movie damn near a masterpiece.

Her voice makes me cry😩

Her voice is unforgettable and haunting. It leaves an impression unlike any other.

The longing in her voice is real. My current mood.

Just watched Bagdad Cafe & hadn't seen it in years! I'd forgotten how good this movie is and the awesome cast that it has. And of course when Jevetta Steele started singing it brought those chills back when I first saw this movie waaaaay back when.🤗 Classic hall of Fame movie for sure!💯👍🏿

She does the best wail of any singer. Ever. I have listened to this song dozens and dozens of times. Most powerful, poignant, evocative movie song out there.

This song is like a cry of the soul, it was used perfectly in the film Bagdad Cafe.

Her voice says more than I ever could...

I remember having watched it totally at random on VHS a long time ago ; just because I liked the movie cover...I was amazed by it, and still am

I saw the movie when it came out in the late 80’s and this song has haunted me ever since. Breathtakingly perfect! I’ve listened to it often ever since I first heard it!

The first time I heard "I am calling you" was on an AT&T commercial. Couldn't get it out of my mind and called AT&T and got Jevetta Steele's name. Then I found the song. Then I found the movie. This was back in the early 1990's. I've been in love with all of them since.

The perfect song with the perfect voice for one of the best and one of my favorite movies of all time!

No covers needed. Will never be Jevetta.

I miss the 90's soooo much. 😟

Just picture it: 1988 a little gem of a movie comes out and changes the world and is nominated for Best Original Song!

amazing vocal and dynamic control. A song for the century.

Feeling all alone in a world of mindless zombies and then this song comes on and suddenly there’s an element of sense to it all. Thank you beautiful song, for reaching a broken and torn heart.

The Angels are calling and I’m listening. Love this song and the movie. Both are classics!

Her voice stirs up emotions I don't know how to explain, especially the part "I'm calling you" so piercing. Watch the movie, couldn't get it out of my head either.

Oh m’y god 👌🏽 What a fragility that was found in that song A 💎 - piece diamond that song thank you so much For this wonderful song👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️😌☺️

Futuro 88.9 Fm playlists in Chile, late '80s, early 90s. Legendary.

April 1988, one of my lives...maybe one of the best.

Still love this song. Jevetta's voice cuts right through me.

This song sounds haunting for strange reason. I would heard it about 4 times over the years when the movie would come on...and it always gave me that feeling. It came on tonight (2/15/21) and the same feeling again.🤦🏾‍♀️

The singing opens up worlds for me. There’s a musical universe out there and this is the kind of stuff that brings it about.

I don't know why. But this song make me cry. I love this song

Nobody manages to do a cover at its true value, even the greatest singer on the planet. Jevetta Steele, you're the greatest

What a beautiful voice Jevetta Steele

This song has stayed with me from the first time i heard it. It is powerful and it goes deep into my soul. ,,,❤

Can't describe that voice, just impossible.

This song sounds haunting to me. It is like someone calling me out from the other world to reach out to me and maybe even sits right into my seat of soul in my body ....definitely it possesses me.

This voice is killing me... Goes deeply into my heart 😍🙌

I found this song from watching American horror story and it hit me instantly when I was watching it.. I had to find what song the lady was singing and here we are.. ms Steele, you have quite the voice❤.

Look, people fucking love this song. We've loved it for years, and years. Don't come in here talking about how some wippersnapper from the voice sang it better. Have some God Damn respect - it's Javetta Steele

Here from AHS NYC

2023 and still a hauntingly beautiful song….her voice is indescribable!

Still listening in 2021….😢

2020 still one of the most beautiful songs

Many others have done justice to this song but Jevetta's version is the BEST. It has an easy, natural, uncomplicated and cleaner sound than the others'. Thank goodness they used this one for the soundtrack of that wonderful movie.

Absolute Seductive Pleasure of Eargasmic Serenity with Catapulted Climax To a Tranquil state of Tranquility 🎧

wonderfull sound ...maybe 1987 ? I remember many scenes with Jasmin (magic)and Brenda (singer) and brenda son played piano with his baby.. the little bagda cafee on route 66,,, sorry ,i am crying

...no one sings this song like this lady!

Jevetta is such an amazing singer. But, if it wasn't for Baghdad Cafe and me being so moved by this song she sang that I looked it up,, I never would have known who she was. I came here tonight because I just saw a 1994 movie: "Corrina Corrina" on TV and, Jevetta was actually IN that movie singing. She did "Over the Rainbow" and a few other songs in the movie which showcased her amazing voice to me once again. Truly a gifted singer. I wish she was more well know because that gift would have been able to bless so many others so, thanks for putting this video up JessieMelodyWorld K. P.S. Just did some research and, apparently there are many circles where Jevetta is well know like theatre circles and, she's worked with many artists like Prince, Mavis Staples among others,, released an album in 2006 so, I was glad to read that.

THE MOVIE AND THE SONG, JUST AMAZING.........

This song has been a part of my life for many years.

I heard this song from the movie Bagdad cafe and ever since than the movie and the song have been one of my favourites! Theres just something about the movie as well as the song, they are just so beautiful. I find Javetta Steele's voice in this song to be very hauntingly beautiful.:-)

One of my favorite films!!! Years after watching it (many times over) I met Brenda ( Ms. Pounder) on set😊 Of course I told her how much I love the film, and how wonderful she is in it

Esa voz desgarrada y el sentimiento con el que la artista interpreta,, llegan a lo más profundo del alma .

There is nothing better than the original version. Thank you jevetta steele!

have listened to this a million times and still get goosebump...and my buddy, CCH, made her debut in this film

I'm so grateful to AHS: NYC for introducing me to this beautiful song. I cry every time I listen to this version, but I can't stop listening.`

Goose bumps. Amazing voice. Notes so clean

Just Perfect, no words.........

Maaaaan I will always love this Lord Have Mercy

My spirit is moved by this song....

I love this song sooooo much! I haven’t heard it in years then it was covered on American Horror Story. Gives me chills and all the feels!

Jevetta Steele you are the best of all, the original, wow!!!!!!

I've loved this song every since childhood. A great classic. Still brings a tear to my eye.

Я когда впервые услышала эту песню.я рыдала! Такая песня волшебной сирены!!! Затронула все струны моей .тогда молодой души!! Это было 26 лет назад...теперь посмотрела фильм...необычно и просто! Все.как в жизни свободного человека....

A great little Movie to visit on a rainy day!. What a Voice Jvetta Steele has!

this is underrated

The original version sung by Jevetta Steele is the best....

I never heard such voice that literally pull out all my emotion out. You are my Goddess.

this song represents all the good things about the marriage of my mom and dad. I was still a baby, they were shaken by the unfulfilled promises of perestroika, but still very young, my dad worked as a front desk clerk at a hotel and I *think* he got that vcr by stealing it from work, somehow dug up a copy of Baghdad Cafe same way he dug up a lot of other leftfield euro flicks, they watched that movie A LOT, movies like this are the way to mom's heart. marriage fell apart because of dad's fear of responsibilities, mom took off for US and took me with her, dad passed away a bitter man from cancer, mom still looking for comfort in this country 16 years on. life goes on, song remains very important to me. damn, I feel dizzy from typing all this out.

This song was in the movie Bagdad Cafe. It was an excellent movie.

Thank you to the gay intern who got this song on AHS:NYC so more generations can appreciate Javetta' work. I've been listening to her album on youtube for a few days now, i can't believe she isn't more popular and has more music out.

this is calming yet sad

Began watching the movie and he song just gripped my heart. Had to hear the full version. Wow!!!!!

the voice brought me here

Perfect sound , perfect movie .. Hello from Turkey.

came to this song through jeff buckley's cover. love it

Hauntingly beautiful

Brava :) reality

Always hauntingly beautiful

THIS SONG!!! SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES.

Bravo!!

oh god this song is perfect

Great movie with superb direction and acting (Jack Palance is something else), great song. I want to be German again.

Uma das mais lindas músicas que já ouvi ,M- A -V-I-L-H-O-S-A-👏👏👏

Never saw the movie...but i drove that road from Vegas to a small town in california. I miss it.

We don’t deserve to hear sounds like this. Magnificent

This song is priceless, I've not heard it in Donkeys years until Patti Laplunne ? Sorry if I've spelled her name wrong ,sang it on Ryan Murphy's Season 11 on AHS , gotta hand it to them,evert season , The Choreography and musical direction is incredible .But I agree,no one performed this as beautiful as Jevetta S x

I have been trying to think of the name of this movie for years. That song has echoed in my head for so long. Two days ago l saw a clip of the movie on KZfaq. It was a wonderful feeling to hear it again and find out it was showing on Tubi 🤗🤗

This voice/song makes me think of a time when I was deeply in love and realized I wasn't enough....it still stirs those memories...

Jevetta Girl you got me!

I love this Song so much I listen this song everything day before to go to bed.

The song and movie have a quiet cool that makes you feel more than you want to.

Very very high on my list of favorite movies of all time. And I've seen quite a few in the past sixty years. 😊

Haunting Beautiful!! Fills me up💝💝

This song has a special meaning to me August 18th 2023 ❤🙏💙⛅🐦

What a voice!!!

I saw the movie now third time, i like cch Pounder , Jack Palance and last but not least, Marianne Sägebrecht, zum verlieben, so lovely; and than this wonderful song, a masterpiece. So magnifecent.

Feeling my truth, the wailing in my very soul,the sad , happy moments of my spirit's crying down so many years of loss and memories of loved ones😢🙏🏽

This is so amazing. Great song. I love Dorota's version too.. they are both amazing. For me, they have completely different feels though, so it is hard to compare. Jevetta's voice is so haunting and beautiful and I feel power- a strong moving force, whereas Dorota's voice is more angelic, holds a sad tone, and almost transcends us out of this world.

Hauntingly beautiful xx AHS brought me here 😢😢

I'm not able to say anything else, just that I do love the film and I adore the song. Come on, I'M CALLING YOU!!!❣❣❣❣❣
