Tony Hatch

The composer of this song, Tony Hatch, successfully produced and wrote for many pop and rock bands in the 1960's, for example the Searchers, Petula Clark, Jackie Trent and the early David Bowie. Hatch's productions are known for a clean and well-arranged sound; they often displayed some traces of mainstream pop and Broadway.

Tony Hatch also wrote under the pseudonym "Fred Nightingale". This song "Call Me" was originally written 1965 by him for Petula Clark, and had been released on her album "I Know a Place". (Don't confuse Hatch's song with other songs with the same title.) He also wrote a couple of musicals together with Jackie Trent, wrote TV music, and released some instrumental recordings with his orchestra under his own name. He has also written many famous TV theme tunes.

On his official website he describes Shirley Bassey as "A great voice, a great friend!"
 

Lyrics

If you're feeling sad and lonely
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

Now don't forget me
'Cause if you let me
I will always stay by you
You've got to trust me
That's how it must be
There's so much that I can do

If you call I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
