Background Info
(AKA Nightline), this song was written door Glen Ballard, Brie Howard, David Allen Faragher (1982) for Michael's Thriller album, but failed to make the final track listing.
"When I found out it wasn't going to be on there, I just said, I'll be on the volgende one," zei Ballard in 1999. "And the truth is, I got on the volgende two, which cumulatively sold over 50 million. It turned out to be good karma. I feel that if Nite-Line had been on Thriller, I would never have written Man In The Mirror, which is an infinitely better song, and one of the best in my catalogue."
It was recorded as Nightline door the Pointer Sisters, for the original 1983 version of their album, Break Out (on the seconde pressing Nightline was replaced door I'm So Excited B-side of the group's hit single, Automatic.
It was also recorde door Ellen Foley for her 1983 album, Another Breath and door Randy Crawford for her album of the same titel in 1994.

The Lyrics
Calling on the Nite Line
Waking me up
Calling on the Nite Line
(Calling on the Nite Line)
Can't get enough
Calling on the Nite Line
(Calling on the Nite Line)
Whisper in my ear
Sending through the brand line
(Calling on the Nite Line)
What I'd like to hear
Every night about midnight
The call comes through
u turn it on the Nite Line
'Cause u know just what to do
And I'll be waiting
(I'll be waiting)
door the phone
(By the phone) Alone.
Calling on the Nite Line
Waking me up
(Call me, baby)
Calling on the Nite Line - Hee!
Can't get enough
(Call me, darling)
Calling on the Nite Line - Hee!
Whisper in my ear - Aow!
Sending through the brand line
What I'd like to hear
Make it person-to-person
Make it heart-to-heart
Darling, your communication
Is sending up sparks
I'll be waiting
(I'll be waiting)
door the phone
(By the phone)
Why don't u give me a call?
(Calling on the Nite Line
Getting me up)
I wanna call
(Calling on the Nite Line
Can't get enough)
Why don't u call me, baby? Hee!
Call me on the Nite Line!
(Call me, darling!)
Whisper in my ear
(Won't u call me, baby!) Hee!
Sending through the brand line
What I'd like to hear - Oo!
(Call me on the Nite Line)
(Call me on the Nite Line)
(Call me on the Nite Line)
(Call me on the Nite Line) Oo!
Calling on the Nite Line
Waking me up - Oh!
Calling on the Nite Line - Hee!
Can't get enough

Getting me up - Oh!
Call me on the Nite Line - Hee!
Can't get enough
(Call me, baby!)
Calling on the Nite Line
Whisper in my ear
Sending through the brand line

In my opinion about Michael Jackson, he is one of few musicians who has a successful career despite whatever problems of mistakes he may have done in the past.
u have to understand that when he and his siblings form 'The Jackson 5', he became a favoriete musician worldwide. I have listen some of his earliest songs to his last album when he passed away in 2009.
I am not a major fan of Michael Jackson, but he is one of many musicians that I listen to now and again whenever I am on YouTube.
u can also zoek some of his dance moves on YouTube door YouTubers who had tried out his moves, such as 'The Moonwalk', The Thriller', 'The Lean' and many meer that I have not heard of myself.
There are a few songs that I do like from Michael Jackson when he was alive before his death.
Thriller, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal, Earth Song, They Don't Care About Us, Black of White and Man in the Mirror
