Who sang the song "Call Me" for the movie "American Gigolo"?

Blondie sang “Call Me” for the 1980 film “American Gigolo.”

The song began as an instrumental theme written and produced by Italian musician Giorgio Moroder. He initially offered the project to Stevie Nicks, but contractual restrictions prevented her from recording it. Moroder then approached Debbie Harry of Blondie, who wrote the lyrics after seeing material from the film.

“Call Me” became the movie’s main musical theme and played over its opening sequence. Although the record is credited to Blondie, Moroder shaped the production, while Harry supplied the lead vocals and lyrics. The band’s performance blended new wave, dance-rock, hard rock, and Eurodisco, giving the track a distinctive early-1980s sound.

The single was released in February 1980 and became a major international hit. It reached number one in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and Billboard later named it the top song of 1980. Another common mix-up is crediting the song solely to Moroder: he composed and produced the music, but Blondie performed it and Harry wrote the lyrics.
