Esther Phillips - Crazy He Calls Me
And I'll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, I say
I say I'll go through fire
And I'll go through fire
As he wants it, so it will be
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, you see
Like the wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I'll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls mе
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love am I
Like thе wind that shakes the bough
He moves me with a smile
The difficult I'll do right now
The impossible will take a little while
I say I'll care forever
And I mean forever
If I have to hold up the sky
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love am I

Esther Phillips
Biography
At age fourteen, she won an amateur talent contest in 1949 at the Barrelhouse Club owned by Johnny Otis. Otis was so impressed he added her to his traveling revue, the California Rhythm and Blues Caravan, billed as ‘Little Esther Phillips’.
Her first hit record was “Double Crossing Blues” (#1 R&B), recorded in 1950 for Savoy Records. She had another two #1 plus four top 10 hits in 1950. Few artists, R&B or otherwise, have ever enjoyed such success in their debut year.
By the mid-50ies she was ill due to drug abuse. In 1962 Phillips got well enough to launch a comeback. She recorded a country tune, “Release Me,” with producer Bob Gans. This went to number 1 on R&B listings. Her cover of The Beatles' song “And I Love Him” nearly made the R&B Top Ten in 1965 and The Beatles flew her to the UK for her first overseas performances.
During the 1970’s she scored an international hit with “What A Difference A Day Made”. Phillips died in 1984, at the age of 48 from liver and kidney failure.
