Question
On 4-14-07, someone asked "Kerry" on this sight, "hi kerry, im trying to find a song i think was in the early 80's, some of the words went a bit like this " hello this is jody sorry that im not home, but if you leave me your name and number i promise as soon as i get in i'll phone." "Kerry" was not able to answer the question, but asked for more info, such as gender of the singer, genre, etc.

I, too, have wondered about this song for years. Someone in my office is named Jody, and everytime she says her name, those lyrics run through my head. I believe the story of the song was that "Jody" died, and someone was calling her phone # to hear her voice on the answering machine. It's possible also that this could have been from the late 70's.  

Answer
You were partially right...the name was Joannie not Jody and it was by :Paul Evans - Hello, This Is Joannie.
Here is a link to youtube so that you can see the vid and hear the song.
Please remember to leave me ratings feedback.
Thanks

My favorite genre of course is 80's music. It can be just a few words from a song or video, and I will wrack my brains to remember or figure it out. I have a photographic memory and luckily for me I also love 80's music.

Experience

I used to be a D.J at the now defunct 93.7 WLHT in Grand Rapids, MI Iam a collector of music albums from the 80's British invasion. And I have a real need to constantly broaden and test my music knowledge
