Still listening to this true to life song in December 2024. This brings back memories! Anyone listening in Dec 2024? Still listening January 2025, who’s with me??
I was lucky enough to see Bobby perform twice. I met him, chatted a while, had pics taken. Bobby was gracious and sweet. This song is a classic. Forever.
Yes indeed...saw him perform on a music cruise up the Hudson River in NY back in the early 80s. He was so sweet to me and my girlfriends. Took pics with us too...a very gracious gentleman❤
That's why the album cover is the first shot of the video. They didn't want people to know he was white. When he toured for the album people were like "WHAT?!"
Listening to this song growing up as a child I could’ve sworn this was a black man 😂 It was in rotation with all the other black music that our parents played, so I was for sure this was just another black man. That’s crazy
Always thought he was, A Blk R & B Singer. He did that, from way back in the'80's. Remember My Mom playing this, at the Friday Nite, Adults Get to gether's. That's Real. 🕺🕺🕺
The way he sit in the dark for the first 20 seconds , just letting everyone contemplate who he is... then BOOM, white man emerges with the biggest soul you ever seen a man of his stature ever have lmaoo. #legend .
WHAT HAPPENED to good music like this? This trampled all barriers of a genre of music that belonged to any specific culture of people. We ALL Loved it...White and Black etc!

The music industry hid the fact he was white so his albums would sell. I don't think it should matter. You can be purple for all I care. Music that moves you is what is important!
I’m 52 years old and I listen to this song countless times. This is one of my favorite songs and I had no idea the singer was white. Wow! Beautiful song.
Sweet baby black Jesus! The first white singer to make me feel like he understood true black smoothness. Damn, this man need an honorary doctorate from the brotherhood! Imagine if Bobby and Bill Withers would have sung together. Rest in love Bobby.
@@reggrunow1460 Curb your justice fight without cause here man, I am mulato. Nothing in my comment above is racist rather I praise Bobby for showing the world that there are no boundaries in Music and consequently Soul. I will have you know that it is reckless to suggest my comment contains racism or that it is racist in nature. I have had the pleasure and opportunity to perform with different musicians from all around world in different genera. In which way would you have me to expand my music appreciation? Read the rest of the comments, most people had no Idea Bobby was Caucasian, heck even white people used to think he was black if they never saw him perform and only listened to his voice.
The bassline is immortal. It’ll keep groovin long past the heat death of the universe. What a shame that he’s passed on now. I’ll probably revisit this track periodically for the rest of my life.
August 15, 1951-March 15, 2023 R.I.P. to the sweet R&B/Jazz voice, gone after a 6+ year illness. Always loved this tune as it takes you right back to when it came out, but never gets old. Celebrate Bobby's life by just listening to his legacy through the years. Very underrated IMO.
I read where he had been in decline after having a severe reaction to a group of antibiotics (fluoroquinolones), Levaquin, Cipro and Avelox, used to treat bacterial infections. The FDA continues to approve the use of these antibiotics, despite the dangers of tendon rupture and damage to the nervous system, stating the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. I am the same age as Mr. Caldwell was, have taken Levaquin before, but won't take it again. God rest his soul. He had one of a kind voice.
Actually its for the album cover. Historically black artists in the 50s and early 60s had vague covers without their faces so companies could sell their products in white areas. Bobby's album was just the silouhette to sell in black communities because he sounded black but was white. A good example is Nat King Cole, he sings like a white guy (of the time), but is black.
@@dgtldead Yep, being on a majority black music label it was the suits who decided to market the album that way. I believe the name of the album (originally self-titled) was also changed to 'What You Won't Do For Love' after this song was a hit.
Rest in Peace. Bobby was ahead of his time. He played guitar for Little Richard and wrote several songs for other musicians. Much respect brother. He's jamming out right now with Prince and Aretha ❤️
I’m a redhead with freckles. This song made feel good when I was 20 and still today. Sometimes I burst out singing it while doing my chores, especially gardening. Bless him.
R.I.P Bobby Caldwell. Love this song ❤️ your legacy will live on. This song will be sampled for years to come. Thanking God for no more pain and suffering 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Seriously, who's ever idea was it to just jump out of the shadow like that is sheer genius! If it was Caldwell, he's beyond.🙌🏾 And he did every instrument!

@Veronica Gonzalez, Weird I had this music pop up in my head and then I searched the video and saw the comments and everyone is giving their condolences, Weird 😱
The issue is black people don’t get the money 💴 their music generates like other ethnic groups, most of our black artist die broke. That’s what needs to be fixed .
My son has autism, he loves your music and it helps him relax and become super stimulated. He’s 10 years old. God bless your soul. Rest in peace legend.
What a smooth, and beautifully arranged song, by Bobby Caldwell, and his band. This song brings back very pleasant memories when I was a teenager, when we use to jump from one block party to another, back in Queens. Every song that he wrote, was meaningful. This man wrote lyrics, that would make a man scratch his head with admiration, by his way of expression. Thank You, Bobby Caldwell, for keeping it smooth. We've definitely lost a Giant, "Physically", but his musical spirit and contribution to the world of music, will forever live on. Rest in beautiful peace, my musical King. You will damn sure be missed.
I love how he comes out of the shadows like "Gotcha Bitch"

He like ha gotcha when he came out that darkness. He like yeah I’m white with soul and what😂😂😂
😂😂😂
One of the best luv songs . He's a Icon. My younger days . Staying in my home town Mia. 305
This man’s voice is nothing but soul, no wonder everyone thought he was black. Just goes to show we’re not all that different from each other.
We are not my dear. Wish people would realise this. We're all humans.

Bobby was full of soul even 2pac had to sample that
Yo I was just asking myself which 90s song sampled this!
@markf5931
A lot of artist sampled this song.
Fr brother music like this hold no colour, forget timeless
Warren g, snoop dogg and Dre also sampled Mike McDonald - Keep Forgetting (white guy) for their famous 90s song “Regulate”
I was just thinking about 2pac when he sang this song what you won't do for love 😢

Time is nothing
We Black Folk Fk with Bobby Caldwell..This is Our Jam!. R.I.P Brother B. Caldwell Thank you
People of all skin tones can, and do, love Caldwell's music--especially this offering. Whites LOVED Motown, too!!
What a smooth, and beautifully arranged song, by Bobby Caldwell, and his band. This song brings back very pleasant memories when I was a teenager, when we use to jump from one block party to another, back in Queens. Every song that he wrote, was meaningful. This man wrote lyrics, that would make a man scratch his head with admiration, by his way of expression. Thank You, Bobby Caldwell, for keeping it smooth. We've definitely lost a Giant, "Physically", but his musical spirit and contribution to the world of music, will forever live on. Rest in beautiful peace, my musical King. You will damn sure be missed.
what a gift that voice is
Bobby that dude. Blue eyed soul
This song makes me want to wait for the true love of a man. No tricks. No games. No make up or waist trainers....just me. Thank you Mr. Caldwell
Love will find you. And he'll love you for you and only you and you alone. I tried to add more "yous" but I couldn't think of any more. Can you?
Gay
Yes... I want someone to feel this about me
Swap wait with prepare n than thank me when on ur 20th anniversary.
Im here baby..
Blue eyed soul can sing. RIP Bobby Caldwell❣️🙏🏾
No doubt it.
That's all it means - whytes can actually sing. They still can't touch most blak Americans, except for the bottom rung.
NEVER. GETS. OLD! RIP Bobby 🙏
R.I.P. BOBBY CALDWELL. Thank you for this immortal song!
Rest in power Sir Bobby Caldwell. Thank you for this soulful song. 🙏🏼
