"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."

"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. Des'ree sings the title song on the soundtrack to Romeo and Juliet, "Kissing You". This is the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes set in modern times. Des'ree's "Kissing You" is just as awesome. She is singing the song in the movie as well as on the soundtrack. Enjoy!"
Best song I've heard in a long time

"The Music in this movie was wonderful. Jevetta Steele did a wonderful job on Calling You. The first time I heard the single it ran chills up my spine. All I can say is WOW!!! If anyone can contact Jevetta Steele tell her she needs to have her own single, Album or CD. That song went to my heart and the way her vocals cords hit the notes WOW!!!!! Hands up to you Jevetta Steele where ever you are. God has blessed you with a wonderful VOICE"

"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."
Haunting music, good story.

"The soundtrack is very enjoyable. The haunting "Calling You" is unforgettable. The reading of the story line on the soundtrack adds some surprises which were not in the movie. Twenty-two minutes of a good story with good background music!"
