"Contact" is a 1978 disco single by Edwin Starr. The hook line is in the chorus, "Eye to eye, contact".
The single was #1 on the disco chart for one week, early in 1979.[1] It also crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his highest charting pop single in seven years, peaking at #65. "Contact" also made the Top 20 on the R&B Charts, peaking at #13.[2] The song found more success in the UK, where it was a Top Ten hit, peaking at #6, in early 1979.
