Biography:
Jevetta Steele is an African American gospel music singer originally from Gary, Indiana, though she has lived in Minneapolis now for many years. Her most famous song is "Calling You" from the movie Bagdad Café and in AT&T commercials. She has recorded and toured with such legends as Prince, George Clinton, 10,000 Maniacs and of course, the gospel group The Steeles, comprised of members of her equally talented family, like her sister Jearlyn Steele, J.D, and Billy. She has also done a musical of her own: "Two Queens, One Castle"

Song: Calling You (J Steele version)
Artist: Jevetta Steele
Songwriter: Bob Telson
Chors/Tab analysis: Mats Fagergren
version, see you tube: https://youtu.be/hPPS0_rqwcw
Several versions exist on UG when it comes to this fantastic song.
I Like the "J Steele" version.
I have included both tabs and chords including updated interlude as well as
the ending (that have some new chords/tabs)
The Chords = tabs.
The finger picking/chords require that your fingers are long and
and stretchy, so I have arranged the chords and tabs with:
