Cole Porter's unrecorded song "I Gaze in Your Eyes" was allowed to compose music by the Porter estate while contributing to a CD reissue of songs. The song appeared on her debut album, which was released on August 17, 1992. She wrote and performed the theme song for the television show The Nanny a year ago.
In addition to the theme for The Nanny, she wrote theme songs for Day's End, Cabaret Beat, and The Jim J and Tammy Fay Show and created incidental music for the play, Baltimore Star David Weiner. In the 2005 off-Broadway musical revue A Broadway Diva Christmas, she performed her song "Manhattan in December."
Barbra Streisand's "At the Same Time" was composed by her. The song appeared on Styrisand's album, Higher Ground, which debuted at number one of the Billboard 200 and gave Callaway her first platinum record. Streisand's wedding requested that she write lyrics to a Rolf Lovland song "I've Dreamed of You," which she sang to James Brolin at their wedding. The song was later recorded on her album A Love Like Ours, released as a single, and on the album, The Essential Barbra Stbra Stbra Strobisand.
