I saw the movie in the eighties when I was a little girl with my mom in the bed and when this song came on I was absorbed by it and it made me feel so free and so sad at the same time. 30 years later I find this video and I still remember that moment in bed with my mom watching the movie and hearing this song.....So beautiful ❤️⭐️✨🦋
Oh THIS is why I love TH-cam. I fell in love with this song after seeing Bagdad Cafe back in the 80s and then never heard it again. I’ve been singing it to myself ever since. Sitting here crying to be able to listen to the real song again after all these years... Thank you so much...🙏💕
Y'all don't even understand how much this song means to me! I was sittin' in a parking lot 14 yrs ago... with a G-n💔 Then outta nowhere I remembered this song (from that movie) it was like someone heard me about to make a life changing decision🙏🏽 This song is ❤️🔥 PLEASE DON'T EVER GIVE UP ON LIFE
My boyfriend and I went to see this film together and fell in love with it and this beautiful song. When we were continents apart, we would sing it to each other. I played it at his memorial service when he died overseas.
It doesn't matter how many times I hear Jevetta Steele sing "Calling You", each time the hair on my arms stands up & I get a chill deep into my soul. What a phenomenal voice & her feelings just pour out with every word. Wow, Just Wow.
what you said ! I am hearing this for the first time right now and every time she hits that long high note the hair is standing up on my whole body and everything is tingling. It is like an invocation.
Her voice is deeply sad but it's marvellous. It's a pray and I can say that I do hear you. It's me, I'm calling you and it has been for a long, long time... Please, can you hear me... I'm calling you!❤
I saw this movie at a time in my life when I had my entire family, a husband and three kids. Life was tough, but simpler so unlike today. I was so much happier. Now they are all gone in other directions. This song evokes memories from the first time that you heard it and the singer's voice haunts you as she sings, calling to someone, idk about wanting relief and change in her life. It's what I crave now at 63 as I am being called . . . - God bless, J 🙏💕

My mom and i fell in love with this song and this werid movie that will stay with you somehow .... this is ours...... our special song ....She died in 1996 ....it never gets easier
The song fits the movie so perfectly, and the movie is an exquisite gem of exactly the right actors, blended beautifully! CCH Pounder is irreplaceable in her lead role. No one else should ever attempt to sing this, except Javetta Steele. Her voice is iconic singing these words! The song and movie are both at the top of my list of favorites!
My God.. So loved that movie.. And THAT song. And here on this magic ful moon in Sagittarius night, having just listened to Cookies Fortune soundtrack and Paris Texas.. This is the most perfect finale.. ❤️
Sorry to tell you but that is just a psychological effect, that makes us think the past was great , not like the terrible times we have now. But that must have been nice, love this song.
@@neutrino1011 not the whole past was great. the early 2000's were shit in my experience, but the late 80's (I was born in the early 80's) until the late 90's did have a special feel to them. Especially until 1995. That is not a psychological effect, it was just the way the atmosphere was back then. It doesn't mean everything was rosey and perfect, but there was a certain magic in the air.
@@kani9284 Where are you from if you don´t mind me asking? I´m a millennial in everything but name 99, from Poland. It´s an interesting thing you are saying.
The Bagdad Cafe is an other-worldly vision of a different life in a desert pit stop! The music background gives a supernatural air of mystery to this desert watering hole. This movie is very special and unique!
My father passed away and we were moving to Florida. I decited at the age of 23 to go with my mother looking for something better. I finally got off that ride in a midwest town. Been there over 30 years. This is what was calling me
That song ,I can’t forget the tenderness and a friendship that happens once in a lifetime and changes a lot of things in your life, it makes you want more of that genuine need inside your very soul… I miss my loving mother that I lost when I was 5 years old and calling her when I need her desperately, even 63 years ago…love you my mom and still alive in my heart ❤️
J’étais sur vichy il y a quelques années et une nana a chanté cette chansons dans la rue.. elle avais chanté d’autres chansons avant et je disais à ma copine qu’elle avais la voix pour chanter Bagdad café et elle l’a chanté. On a danser direct. 😍 malheureusement je ne connais pas son nom mais c’était parfais et magnifique. Par contre le film a mes yeux est pourri mdr.
I haven't seen the film since it was released in the late 1980s, nor have I heard the song again until now, but the song has lived in my head for the last 35-ish years and asserts itself there pretty regularly. I ended up here today when I couldn’t remember the name of the movie. It's lovely to see so many others similarly affected by this song.
so true... never forgot this song, but have no memory of what this movie was about. Just heard a brief cover of it by Patty Lupone on AHS, and had to come looking for the name of the movie.
Sorry I’m lost can you explain it to me why this song is so very emotional? I’ve heard this song on the voice. Can some please explain it to me, I’m so lost and my deep apologise for not understanding..

Wonderful film about the human condition and how, being so different, find their place together. Beautiful song, Jevetta's voice full of sentiment and the master Toots to the harmonica.
If you see that even TH-cam keeps this movie from being on their site not unless you pay for it.....it is because overwhelmingly it is a very loved movie.
This song used to play over and over in my head. Watched this movie when I was younger now listening to it reminds me of my mom whom I just loss. Tears flowing 😭😢. Beautiful 💜 song ...
RIP and thanks Percy Aldon. On retient plus souvent la chanson que le film. Même si le film a un peu vieilli, on retrouve des scènes de la vie de cette époque, qui pour moi me manque, car c'était simple sans fioriture et avec des valeurs que l'ont perd (je trouve). Ce film a eu un succès inattendu et, je pense, que la musique y doit beaucoup avec une belle voix mélancolique. Encore un grand merci au réalisateur Percy Aldon.
I was driving the South Texas backroads today and this song popped into my mind. I'd forgotten the artist and the title. Then I remembered it was from Baghdad Cafe. Glad I found it.
I can't sleep and listening to this song in a middle of the night, takes me to an imaginary scene where I took my mother to a place with a nice view , she likes beaches, so I was there with her, holding her hand, hugging her and giving her a kiss on her cheek and saying I love you mom, thank you for everything. My mom is in her battle with breast cancer, all my life what I can remember she works so hard to feed us, to make sure we have something on our plates. My father has been taking her for granted, their relationship is very depressing to desribe. I cant recall anytime my mom has taken a vacation to a nice place not even within the country, all shes been doing is working she most of the time doesn't even have time for herself. I am stuck with my study miles away, and I still cant repay her for everything shes done for us. Right now listening to this, all I want to do is to bring her to a nice place for a treat, because she deserves beutiful things in this life, she deserves a lot more.
+Hani S. Better regret what you have done, not what you haven´t done. Your studies can wait, your mother can´t. If your mother is a role model for you because of everyting she´s done, and you´re still procrastinating, then you´ve learnt nothing.
+Hani S. Ciao from Italy... if you could get near her to ask her what she would like.. could be also a metaphoric little trip in the memories when you were achild, a gift of for instance a perfume of the sea she never saw can guide her to somewhere in the foreign states she never was... (I had success with my father with it, while all the other thought he needs to eat something perfect or ... with a big deal of efforts and suitcses, fast jumping a tto short time in a place) this wants to be just a suggestion sine i am dancemovementtherapist and illusionist and dancer ... I intend to say that fantasy, in any case can support your leak of time or leak of energy of your mamma!!! hug, arrivederci , Daniela
Never saw the movie, but this song never left my soul either. Heard it a few times on the radio as a very young me and how many times I sang I ,I I I am calling youuu .., but that was all I remembered .Never left me either. 🌬🌌🌊🌕💛⚜
Here in 2024. remember this movie..and I think they even did a tv show based off the movie too. Many ppl have made this song but this is the only version I like.
I had a dream about this song and woke up crying Been listening to it a lot more since then. I remembered this song when I was a small child’87- I was in bed with my Grandma and the music video for The Tv show Baghdad Cafe played on Friday Night Videos I miss the 80s so much
Just added Bagdad Cafe to my "to watch" list as I have not seen it in decades. This song is FIRE! Thank you, Ms. Steele, for this phenomenal song! Just put it on my Spotify list!
Même en vieillissant, je me souviens de ce film avec joie. Et la musique est magnifique. Qui se souvient des beignets de tomates vertes? (Cétait dans le film) ?
The first time I saw this movie was when I was 10 y.o in 1990! Didn’t realize it was a European film until I was much older. Gotta say, as a former truck driver driving throughout the United States....this film is absolutely accurate. Characters and ALL! Plus CCH POUNDER did a Great job portraying an Afro-American woman! I had absolutely no idea she was English neither😂 Absolutely genuine! My favorite most favorite movie of ALL TIME!
Percy Adlon named this film "Out of Rosenheim." as that couple which did not love each other lived in Rosenheim in the script. US Distributors changed the title to Bagdad Café as that was the name the café in this movie had. There are two version of the soundtrack. Pure German (CCH Pounder and others dubbed) and the "Bavarian English version", where no dub is done. The German of Marianne Sägebrecht got English subtitles.
I remember watching bagdad cafe growing up and finding the actress looked like my mother, who was moved away at the time, and would cry hearing this, i still have my mother today 30 yrs later, i know this song will def make me cry when i lose her, Such a beautiful heart felt song.
This song used to be on a MCI commercial and I never forgot it I randomly thought about checking you tube and here it is !!! It bring back so many memories 😢😢
Whenever I hear this song, I just stop everything I'm doing, sit down, close my eyes and drift away in some undefined space where time is suspended until I gently land back at the end of the song wherever I happened to be sitting.
Randomly this song started playing on my playlist today "Calling you" I immediately remembered the haunting melody from my childhood, one evening dad was watching TV and mom was studying in the dining room, we were already supposed to be in bed but I was out (sound familiar?) and stood in the passage above the stairs watching the TV in the reflection of the sliding door until dad saw me and I skedaddled back to bed. The movie was Bagdad Cafe and I remember the awkward lady with the suitcase when she got out of the Rolls Royce and walked to a motel. No idea how I remember that. This is from 1987 so I was about 4... and dad would have been 35 (about my age now)
"Where is the magic?" "The magic is gone...." I love this movie so much, Marianne Sägebrecht is such an awesome actress. But only the english-bavarian original version. The german synchronisation is just to run and hide... The pictures in this movie speak louder than the dialogues, they are utterly beautiful and very poetic. One of my absolute all time favs ! Thank you for sharing this song. 🤩🤩🤩
un film sublime avec une interprétation parfaite et une BO merveilleuse. un de mes films préférés. impossible de me lasser de cette interprétation par jevetta steele.
This is a hauntingly beautiful and unusual melody. It is sung, beautifully, by Jevetta Steele. This film was a gem: quirky, with interesting characters, a fascinating story line, and a mixture of drama and comedy. In 1990, I ate in the restaurant where the cafe scenes were filmed. It is in Newberry Springs, California. Many photographs from this movie were displayed on the walls of the restaurant.
Bagdad got hit really hard when they built the new freeway (40 vs 66? It was decades ago). When I was around 10 (1971) it was a stop in the middle of the Mojave...
When I listen to this song I think of Dad and I know he and God are by my side protecting me cause I have gotten through some of the most difficult times in my life and I am still here.
One of my all-time favorite movies. I watched it in the theater in the 80's when I was in my 20's and still have showings of it now in my 50's. The song is so haunting.

Remember hearing this on the radio in 1989 ... and so wonderful to hear it again in 2024. Jevetta is a treasure.
Ouvindo também em 2024
Watched this several times and even have the DVD in my collection.
Oh THIS is why I love TH-cam. I fell in love with this song after seeing Bagdad Cafe back in the 80s and then never heard it again. I’ve been singing it to myself ever since. Sitting here crying to be able to listen to the real song again after all these years... Thank you so much...🙏💕
So did I

Time to listen again.
Hey music lover that's the way to do it!! Sitting here with tears myself.

Yes John. Once you hear it. It i haunting, but so beautiful
e ha fatto si ,che anche il film è bellissimo
So true.
You're so right
It doesn't matter how many times I hear Jevetta Steele sing "Calling You", each time the hair on my arms stands up & I get a chill deep into my soul. What a phenomenal voice & her feelings just pour out with every word. Wow, Just Wow.
Same. Makes me tear up. ❤
@@asyd2421 She's incredible. Pure spirit.
what you said ! I am hearing this for the first time right now and every time she hits that long high note the hair is standing up on my whole body and everything is tingling. It is like an invocation.
I feel the sa me 😉
AND the movie !!
Her voice is deeply sad but it's marvellous. It's a pray and I can say that I do hear you.
It's me, I'm calling you and it has been for a long, long time...
Please, can you hear me...
I'm calling you!❤
なんか引き込まれる不思議な歌！

My mom is in her battle with breast cancer, all my life what I can remember she works so hard to feed us, to make sure we have something on our plates. My father has been taking her for granted, their relationship is very depressing to desribe. I cant recall anytime my mom has taken a vacation to a nice place not even within the country, all shes been doing is working she most of the time doesn't even have time for herself. I am stuck with my study miles away, and I still cant repay her for everything shes done for us. Right now listening to this, all I want to do is to bring her to a nice place for a treat, because she deserves beutiful things in this life, she deserves a lot more.

So do it, because you may regret it sometime. I know what I'm saying.
+Hani S. Better regret what you have done, not what you haven´t done. Your studies can wait, your mother can´t. If your mother is a role model for you because of everyting she´s done, and you´re still procrastinating, then you´ve learnt nothing.
+Hani S.
Nothing is worth ignoring God's whispers. Studies will always be here. Find a way. Take her:)
+Hani S. Ciao from Italy... if you could get near her to ask her what she would like.. could be also a metaphoric little trip in the memories when you were achild, a gift of for instance a perfume of the sea she never saw can guide her to somewhere in the foreign states she never was... (I had success with my father with it, while all the other thought he needs to eat something perfect or ... with a big deal of efforts and suitcses, fast jumping a tto short time in a place) this wants to be just a suggestion sine i am dancemovementtherapist and illusionist and dancer ... I intend to say that fantasy, in any case can support your leak of time or leak of energy of your mamma!!! hug, arrivederci , Daniela

Take a year off. BE with her while she is here.
A masterpiece of mixed feelings, too beatiful....♥️
Watched this movie my entire childhood this song never left my heart now I’m an adult and I’m here listening to it. 😁 Classic
🔥👍♥️🇫🇷🤗 joyeux Noël.
Not me but I understand the 'calling' - I keep coming back to it.
I Agree❤
Never saw the movie, but this song never left my soul either. Heard it a few times on the radio as a very young me and how many times I sang I ,I I I am calling youuu .., but that was all I remembered .Never left me either. 🌬🌌🌊🌕💛⚜
Same, this song and, especially her voice are hauntingly beautiful.
Non saprei dire se è più bella la canzone o il film. Splendidi colori, meravigliosa atmosfera, personaggi perfetti. Poesia. Poesia pura
This song is gorgeous and transcendent. And what a cool, strange little movie this was.
Ce film a bénéficié d'une belle audience lors de sa sortie, il est atypique et la musique est tellement envoûtante 😊😊❤
Sa parld de lomosessualité entrre und grosse et une africaine
Just like a wolf, an owl, or a lioness, calling in the middle of the night, a beloved one… we’re the same…
This is my number one most fabulous film and music score.
Un tres beau film ...quelle interprétation magistrale
Here in 2024. remember this movie..and I think they even did a tv show based off the movie too. Many ppl have made this song but this is the only version I like.
❤
Película y música inolvidables
The song resonated & years later, it saved my life.... it's as if the writer, knew some weak person like me would need this song someday.
This original version can't be be bested. Perfect is perfect.
You should listen: "The Voice of Poland Dorota Osińska Calling You".
Jeff Buckley’s version from 1992 is even better than this.
THIS version is the best period!
This version is amazing. If U don't like it go on that page and.listen to that one.
Le 14 juillet 2017, j'écoutais cette chanson assis au Bagdad Café sur la 66......un rêve réalisé!
A ton avis pourquoi on l'a appelé Bagdad Café ?
Moi c'était le 11 mai 2018.... un endroit à voir absolument....
woooow , génial !
Sa devait être super
je t envie.....
Perfect mix of nostalgia, wistfulness, a dreamscape and a call to the soul from another world.
You said it perfectly
I had a dream about this song and woke up crying
Been listening to it a lot more since then. I remembered this song when I was a small child’87- I was in bed with my Grandma and the music video for The Tv show Baghdad Cafe played on Friday Night Videos
I miss the 80s so much
This is one of the most haunting songs I've ever heard. What a pure voice!
Oh yes !!!
Unbelievable. Timeless masterpiece..
Just added Bagdad Cafe to my "to watch" list as I have not seen it in decades. This song is FIRE! Thank you, Ms. Steele, for this phenomenal song! Just put it on my Spotify list!
21.08.2011 - 09.08.2020 - Sans doute l'une des plus belles chansons au monde ... Film Culte... la totale ...
Même en vieillissant, je me souviens de ce film avec joie. Et la musique est magnifique. Qui se souvient des beignets de tomates vertes? (Cétait dans le film) ?
The first time I saw this movie was when I was 10 y.o in 1990!
Didn’t realize it was a European film until I was much older.
Gotta say, as a former truck driver driving throughout the United States....this film is absolutely accurate.
Characters and ALL!
Plus CCH POUNDER did a Great job portraying an Afro-American woman!
I had absolutely no idea she was English neither😂
Absolutely genuine!
My favorite most favorite movie of ALL TIME!
Percy Adlon named this film "Out of Rosenheim." as that couple which did not love each other lived in Rosenheim in the script. US Distributors changed the title to Bagdad Café as that was the name the café in this movie had. There are two version of the soundtrack. Pure German (CCH Pounder and others dubbed) and the "Bavarian English version", where no dub is done. The German of Marianne Sägebrecht got English subtitles.
I remember watching bagdad cafe growing up and finding the actress looked like my mother, who was moved away at the time, and would cry hearing this, i still have my mother today 30 yrs later, i know this song will def make me cry when i lose her, Such a beautiful heart felt song.
' i'm calling you ' this song is magnificently sang and the musical arrangements is beautiful too . A song that will defy the laws of time .
高校生の頃兄の友人にこの映画を教えてもらって以来長い時間頭の中でこの曲が流れています。
映画の内容とともに若くして捨てたもんじゃない人生を知りました。
今も何があっても軽やかに生きられるのはこの曲のおかげです。
This song used to be on a MCI commercial and I never forgot it I randomly thought about checking you tube and here it is !!! It bring back so many memories 😢😢
Whenever I hear this song, I just stop everything I'm doing, sit down, close my eyes and drift away in some undefined space where time is suspended until I gently land back at the end of the song wherever I happened to be sitting.
I do the same….
I’m with you on this journey
Randomly this song started playing on my playlist today "Calling you" I immediately remembered the haunting melody from my childhood, one evening dad was watching TV and mom was studying in the dining room, we were already supposed to be in bed but I was out (sound familiar?) and stood in the passage above the stairs watching the TV in the reflection of the sliding door until dad saw me and I skedaddled back to bed. The movie was Bagdad Cafe and I remember the awkward lady with the suitcase when she got out of the Rolls Royce and walked to a motel. No idea how I remember that. This is from 1987 so I was about 4... and dad would have been 35 (about my age now)
Lovely memory.
Beautiful memory, that song
makes me long for love with all my heart...
Les souvenirs ne s expliquent pas.superbe en tout cas👍
You must write more impressions of your childhood. Its beautiful.
The car was a big boat. I checked the opening sequence because I thought it was a Cadillac but it was a Lincoln Continental.
"Where is the magic?" "The magic is gone...." I love this movie so much, Marianne Sägebrecht is such an awesome actress. But only the english-bavarian original version. The german synchronisation is just to run and hide... The pictures in this movie speak louder than the dialogues, they are utterly beautiful and very poetic. One of my absolute all time favs !
Thank you for sharing this song. 🤩🤩🤩
Unforgettable movie and very original song. Seen the movie few times, never get tired.
Ania Guerra.....so true!!

What movie is it from?
Bagdad Café
Love this song. So amazing. This is a timeless classic. So beautiful and haunting. It hits you deep in the soul
A warm, dry breeze at darkening dusk....lonely, beautiful, mysterious. glad to find this song again.
사춘기 감성 가득할때 봤던 영화.. 영혼에 파편.한조각으로 꽂혀 있을 음악입니다.
un film sublime avec une interprétation parfaite et une BO merveilleuse. un de mes films préférés. impossible de me lasser de cette interprétation par jevetta steele.
Née en. 1966, je suis conquise par ce partage ♥️
Gratitude ♥️
One of my favorite movies. This song with Javetta singing makes me cry every time. Something not so easy to do anymore.
This is a hauntingly beautiful and unusual melody. It is sung, beautifully, by Jevetta Steele. This film was a gem: quirky, with interesting characters, a fascinating story line, and a mixture of drama and comedy. In 1990, I ate in the restaurant where the cafe scenes were filmed. It is in Newberry Springs, California. Many photographs from this movie were displayed on the walls of the restaurant.
Wow so there was really a cafe..Wow
Bagdad got hit really hard when they built the new freeway (40 vs 66? It was decades ago). When I was around 10 (1971) it was a stop in the middle of the Mojave...
@@melodiefrances3898 Interesting..
Good to know, thanks!
Check out dorato from the voice poland
心が暖かくなって、優しくなれる素敵な映画、そして不思議なメロディー、会えて良かった。
When I listen to this song I think of Dad and I know he and God are by my side protecting me cause I have gotten through some of the most difficult times in my life and I am still here.
You are not alone ❤️ I Lost my dad too four years ago... I live some difficult Times too but like you said God and them are with us. ✨ God bless you
One of my all-time favorite movies. I watched it in the theater in the 80's when I was in my 20's and still have showings of it now in my 50's. The song is so haunting.
Après autant d'années, c'est toujours une chanson que j'écoute avec émotion en me remémorant ce beau film qu'est Bagdad Café...
Beau, mais chiant comme du BHL...
Oui, c'est beau, mais cela hante mes rêves. Ce qui est aussi très beau.

Assombra meus sonhos, meus dias e minhas tristes noites.....

I absolutely loved this movie! Jack Palance was amazing, as well as all the other actors!! :-)
듣고 있으면 마음이 너무 먹먹해져 죽고싶다가도
그냥 나아가야겠다 살아는 가자란 생각이 들게된다
Loved the Movie and this tune is Awesome. Thank you Jevetta Steele for the Gift of Your Voice.
This song keeps playing all through one of the most un usually beautiful movies that is rarily played on tv, BAGDAD CAFE, LOVE THIS!!!
Victoria A. Brinkman IKR! Thought the same thing!
