(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
(Call me, baby!)
Calling on the Nite Line
Whisper in my ear
Sending through the brand line
What I'd like to hear
Calling on the Nite Line
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
What I'd like to hear
(Repeat and fade out)
It all started when I was 7 years old. Somewhere in the maand of June of July, I got news that Michael Jackson had died. I didn't care much at that time. Life went on as usual for me. Them my dad upgraded his car and one dag gave me a lift in it. I turned on the muziek player. The first song? Thriller(the song). I fell in love with it...
Then only had I realized who Michael Jackson was. My dad still had meer songs. I listened to them all.
As soon as the player struck Little Susie, my dad would change the song. I did not know why. I downloaded Little Susie and listened. After the song was over, my eyes were waterfalls. The song was absolutely gloomy. I researched the story and finally ended up here on this site. Only Fanpop gave me a reasonable explanation for Little Susie.
I created my own account on this site, just to praise him...
He shall live in my hart-, hart forever...
