Hilly Michaels' "Calling All Girls" could be described as The Cars on speed (Cars keyboardist Greg Hawkes even puts in an appearance). A very motley cast of musicians played on the album, including Liza Minelli, her stepsister Lorna Luft, actor-singer Ellen Foley, former bandmate "Saturday Night Live" guitarist G.E. Smith, Elton John blonde guitarist Davey Johnstone and rocker Dan Hartman. Roy Thomas Baker made the album snap, crackle and pop with his usual bag of tricks : Compressed drums, massed operatic backing vocals, and lots of high and low frequencies. The "Calling All Girls" album is a fun though lightweight mix of glam and power-pop played and produced by pros. It's a friendly-sounding record that makes for a nice change of pace from heavier listening. Possibly the best track on the album is the last one, "Something On Your Mind", which is so funny and sounded "Sparks" a lot. This song also was on the soundtrack to "Caddyshack" movie.
