Call Me is a pop song written by Tony Hatch for Petula Clark. It first appeared in 1965 as the title track of Clark’s UK EP Call Me, released by Pye Records, and was later included on Clark’s album I Know a Place, also known as The New Petula Clark Album. The EP and Clark’s other tracks helped establish her upbeat pop sound in the mid 1960s. A separate hit version came later that year from Chris Montez, whose easy listening recording produced by Herb Alpert reached number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the Easy Listening chart in 1966, and charted in Canada though the UK release did not chart. The song has been covered by Frank Sinatra in 1966, The Foundations in 1967, and others, and has appeared in film soundtracks such as the Mike Flowers Pops rendition in Austin Powers and Eliane Elias’s Dreamer in 2004.
