CALLING YOUR NAME Marilyn

The ground breaking acid house track from 1988 was one of the first tracks to ever make use of sampling snippets of other songs. There are in excess of 12 songs sampled throughout this UK Number One single that in itself became a dance classic.

Featuring the background vocals of the late Claudia Fontaine, Calling Your Name by Marilyn became a phenomenal success in 1984 when it became a massive hit in the UK and Australia. The song also reached Number 1 in Japan that same year.
