While her debut single "More More More" (#4 on the Billboard Hot 100, #23 on the R&B Singles Chart, #1 on the Canadian Singles Chart and #5 on the UK Singles Chart) became her most enduring hit, she scored other hits. Naturally, her songs were more successful in the discotheques than on mainstream Pop radio. True scored three more Billboard Hot 100 chart entries with the songs "Party Line" (peaked at #80), "N.Y. You Got Me Dancing" (her second biggest hit peaking at #27) and "What's Your Name, What's Your Number" (peaked at #56). The latter two singles were lifted from her second album titled "White Witch." In 1980, she released her third and final album titled "War Machine", a more hard rock-oriented album. It was released only in Europe, however was unsuccessful.
During the following two decades, True returned to significantly low profile life. True found success in other career fields as both a drug counselor and a physic reader. She was also a talented cook. True continued receiving royalties from her music. The song "More More More" remained a popular song on TV and movies. True received a renewed burst of publicity when the Canadian group, Len, sampled the instrumental break from "More, More, More" in their own hit single, "Steal My Sunshine." Subsequently, True appeared on several "VH1 specials including 100 Greatest Dance Songs in 2000 ("More, More, More" was the No. 45 greatest dance song), Where Are They Now and 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders (both in 2002), in which she said she wants to be remembered as a person who "gave people pleasure" — then emphasized the words — "with my music." She also made an appearance in the 2005 documentary movie Inside Deep Throat. It was at this time she briefly returned to performing her songs live in concert.
True died on November 7, 2011, at a hospital in Kingston, New York, located near her home of Woodstock, New York. She was 68 years old. A longtime friend, Louise Marsello Landham, said the cause was heart failure. In line with her wishes, True was cremated. She left behind no immediate family.
Call Me
Andrea True Connection Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For standing up so tall
Next time, next time, next time
If you can't come just call
Call me, ca-ca-ca-call me
Call me baby
The lyrics of Andrea True Connection's song "Call Me" can be interpreted as an expression of gratitude towards a lover who has stood tall and strong for the singer. The singer acknowledges the support of their lover, but also emphasizes the importance of communication in their relationship. The repetition of "next time" suggests that there have been instances where the lover may not have been able to physically be there for the singer, but the singer reassures them that a phone call is just as valuable. The chorus, with its playful repetition of "Call me, ca-ca-ca-call me," reinforces the idea that communication and connection are essential elements of any relationship.

I can't thank you baby
I am unable to express my gratitude towards you, my dear
For standing up so tall
For being strong and supportive in times of need
Next time, next time, next time
If for any reason you are unable to make it, there is always a next time
If you can't come just call
If you are unable to come, all you have to do is let me know by giving me a call
Call me, ca-ca-ca-call me
Reach out to me, give me a ring
Call me baby
Contact me, my dear
