From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Call Me" is a song by Italian singer Spagna, released in 1987 as the second single from her debut studio album, Dedicated to the Moon (1987). Unlike its predecessor, "Easy Lady", "Call Me" was also released in North America and Japan. A "U.S. remix" was done by Steve Thompson and Mike Barbiero. The single's B-side, "Girl, It's Not the End of the World", also appears on Spagna's debut album. The song became a worldwide hit, reaching number one in Spain and becoming a top-10 hit in 14 other countries. The music video for the song, directed by David Hillier, was filmed in and around Nottingham, England, particularly around the Ritzy nightclub, with the nearby Belvoir Castle also appearing.[2]
