Bagdad Cafe: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

 (28 customer reviews)

The music on this album is awesome. It was written and performed during a time when soundtracks were marketed as heavily as movies. Today the soundtracks preclude the movie. Jevetta Steele's "Calling You" is awesome. Her voice is very strong, clear and spine tingling. After seeing the movie and hearing the song many times I looked and found 3 albums made by her as a solo artist. Her career didn't take off as it should have with the voice she has. However, with this one song along she can keep you entertained for hours. Hey do you remember the AT&T commericals that used Calling You in the back drop for a couple trying to call each other. It was a great commerical, I hope Jevetta made tons of money off it, as usual her voice was very stong and commanding. By the way, if you like Ms. Steele, check out Des'ree.

I used to hear this song during a commercial and used to wish that it was a song. That was Fall `92, then in `93 my father had the radio on one of his "light jazz" stations in the car and there it was. THE SONG. To my delight it was a whole song, but I never got the name of the artist or the song. Fast forward seven years later, after much searching I found it - Jevetta Steele - "Calling You." Not only is that song beautiful, but surprisingly so is the rest of the CD.

I saw the original motion picture when it first came out several years ago and I still remember Jevetta Steel's voice. The picture is unique, sweet, enjoyable -- definitely a must see. And the music -- huantingly beautiful...I was so impressed with the music, I bought the album right after seeing the movie 12 years ago. This CD is definitely a collector's item. Jevetta - if you are still out there, your fans are still calling you.
