"You Can Call Me Al" was the lead single from his seventh studio album, Graceland (1986), released on Warner Bros. Records. Written by Simon, its lyrics follow an individual seemingly experiencing a midlife crisis. Its lyrics were partially inspired by Simon's trip to South Africa and experience with its culture.
Released in September 1986, "You Can Call Me Al" became one of Simon's biggest solo hits, reaching the top five in seven countries.
"You Can Call Me Al" became one of Simon's biggest hit singles as a solo act. In the United States it initially fared poorly, only reaching number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1986. As sales and acclaim for Graceland grew, culminating in a win for Album of the Year at the 29th Annual Grammy Awards in February 1987, the single experienced a resurgence in sales and airplay. After making a second entry on the Billboard Hot 100 in March, the song rose to a peak of number 23 in May 1987.
The song fared even better outside the U.S., making the top ten of several European charts. In the UK it became his biggest solo hit, spending five weeks in the top ten and peaking at number 4 in October 1986. It has since been certified double platinum in the UK. (Wikipedia)
