"Call on Me" is the 3rd album by the R&B singer Evelyn "Champagne" King, released on RCA Records in 1980. It was produced by Theodore Life and George Tindley. The album peaked at #58 on the R&B albums chart. It also reached #124 on the Billboard 200. It produced the single "Let's Get Funky Tonight". In addition to the eight songs that appeared on the original 1980 LP, the expanded edition of "Call on Me" offers five bonus tracks: the 12” version of “Let’s Get Funky Tonight” and four rarities from the ultra-obscure "Sweet Delight" LP.
~Wikipedia
King's strong, deep-voiced stylings and sensitive edge are the saving graces on her first album of the '80s. Despite overall sturdy production, many of the melodies simply linger on and on and the arrangements don't have much chance to take off. Besides the sassy "Let's Get Funky Tonight" and the warm, understated "Just a Little Bit of Love," there aren't any particularly memorable moments. The title track is a stale midtempo romp with an embarrassing guest vocal by producer T. Life; "Bedroom Eyes" is accordingly sleepy; and "Talk Don't Hurt Nobody" has a decent lyrical theme, but lacks the musical energy needed to get the lyric across. Whereas the previous year's Music Box relied on formulaic disco tracks, Call on Me tries to establish King in a funkier vein. But the material itself is so arid that the album quickly becomes musically ineffective.
