I love this song. Saw the movie and loved it ever since. And Jevetta Steele’s version is definitive. But didn’t Bob Telson (Gospel at Colonus) write the song?

      kalamu sez:        

Gregory, you are 100% correct and I am wrong. Bob Telson wrote "Calling You."  If I had bothered to double check my Jevetta Steele CD I would have known better and not made this mistake. 

Thank you, thank you for correcting me. 

BoL gets mucho daily hits but also all of the posts are still active. The archives will remain active as long as BoL exists. People continue to reference BoL, so when we make a mistake, it is important that we correct the mistake as soon as possible. No excuses, no long-ass explanations for why we got it wrong. Nah! Admit the mistake. Correct the mistake. And continue to work to make BoL a definitive website.

I was surprised by that album as a whole. Surprised by some of the song choices, I guess, but I should’ve known she’d get them right. Thanks for sharing these. I wasn’t a reader last time you covered this song, so this all new ground to me.
