The "OMG it's a white guy" never gets old! LOL
I know.
I love that reaction.
OMG.. I never knew either... always just heard on the radio. You guys are teaching as well!
I love seeing black people figure out he's white lol...we all know this song but thought it was a black guy
Yeah it does, It sucks and is offensive. There's no difference in race in music, u either have talent or u don't.
1.Shock 2.Resistance 3.Acceptance 4.Surrender 5. Eargasm
These are the five stages of finding out about Bobby Caldwell.
You hit all the points, thank you.
Perfection like a chefs kiss
Yesss
The five stages of Caldwell 😂
Hahahaha
Bobby passed away today. Thankful he left us great heartfelt music. Thank you Bobby my life is better because of you.
Are you serious??? I didn’t even know, wherever he is may he find rest🙌
May Bobby rest in Shalom and may his music and memory always bless us.
He's an Angel 💜🙏💜
❤️
I am so sorry but we lost out and I am going to a rabbit hole of finding out this legend
When Mr. Video reacted to this song, he called his mom in the middle of it to ask her if she knew he was white. It was too funny. His mom knew!
Lol I seen that too 😂
Yes, he did, that was great reaction
Me too. It's funny to me since I had this record when it first dropped and always knew he was a white guy.
Of course she did! 😊 I keep asking him to react to Teena Marie “Square Biz” forever😊
@@jacqueline4514 I agree all the reactors should watch her videos. I loved Teena Marie.
Fun fact..
Bobby played every instrument in this song 💘🌷💞
He wrote it, too, I think.
He didn't play all the instruments on this track...he played guitar and keyboards with session musicians backing him on the rest of the instruments. On the album this came off "Clouds" he also contributed some bass and synths on other tracks. He did of course write this though.
Really so he did all the instruments?
I believe it lol
@@acrocks6893 No he didn't
I'm 68 yrs old and when this song came out it hit #1 on the soul charts in Oakland, CA. Everybody thought it was a black man and when people found out he was white they still loved and rocked to his blue eyed soul.
Came out 1980.
Same thing in High School, every dance had this song !!
I love this song 💜
Soul has no color boundaries, you either have it or you don't ....I wish I had soul!
I love it when ppl of color find out some of the older singers who were/are white. Cracks me up. Stevie Ray Vaughn and Bonnie Raitt come to mind
As you eluded to, it's a state of mind...
You have soul if you listen and love the sound!!
Mr Cip, you got it!
Absolutely
62 year old white woman here, I have loved this song forever and could have swore it was an Earth Wind and Fire song. Love your channel.
me toooooooooooo, been listening this song since 1978 and just found out 2 weeks ago. Soooo weird.
It does sound a little like "After the love has gone."
Earth, Wind & Fire - another terrific band! I wonder if Jay and Amber have reacted to any of their music yet. Methinks I'll check to see! Or maybe I should wait until... September? Ha, see what I did there! 😉
Your ears didn't deceive you. If I'm not mistaken, this song was submitted to EWF first but they turned it down...and the rest is history...his..story...RIP Bobby
Myself included.
I thought it was sung by Earth, Wind & Fire.
One of the most underrated artists ever. And yes, back then, we all thought he was Black, and we were all drop-jawed when we saw he was White. TALENT.
Rest in peace, dear Bobby.
Robert H. Caldwell “Bobby”, age 71, of Great Meadows, NJ died Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at home. Bobby was born August 15, 1951 in New York, NY to the late Robert and Carolyn (Hunter) Caldwell. In addition to his parents, Bobby was preceded in death by a son, Jude Caldwell.
Bobby was a singer/songwriter best known for his hit single, “What You Won’t Do for Love.” He has penned hit songs for a number of prominent artists in the R&B, POP and Rap genre. Bobby has cherished his fans in the United States, Japan and throughout the globe.
He is survived by his devoted wife: Mary Beth (Roche) Caldwell, his loving daughters, Lauren Cromer and husband Charles, Tessa Chapman and Husband Daniel and step-daughter, Katherine “Katie” Moriarty, a sister, Lisa Caldwell and two grandsons, Tucker Chapman and Jack Cromer.
Visitation will be Monday, March 20 from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm at Cochran Funeral Home, 905 High Street, Hackettstown, N.J.
Burial will be private.
For those desiring, donations may be made to the Shriner’s Children’s Hospital, 2900 Rocky Point Drive, Tampa, FL 33607 in memory of Bobby Caldwell.
This vibe is just as fresh as the day it first dropped 45 years ago in 1978!
I’m a crusty, old white guy who grew up in a Soul/R&B-loving family. I think this first time I’ve been surprised by someone singing a classic, older, known song that the singer’s race surprised me 👍
Y'all aren't alone - I think 95% of the population thought this song was done by a black artist. I know I certainly did. I remember very well when it was brand new and on the radio, and I never for a second imagined such a smooth, soulful sound could be coming out of a white dude's mouth, LOL! Didn't discover that Bobby was white until he passed away a few days ago, may he rest in peace.
I have loved this song 40 years and only found out about 8 years ago that Bobby Caldwell is white.
I don't hear this song, I FEEL this song. It still moves me every time.
I'm Just finding out right now myself
@@ms.dirtybird7779 😆😆😆 Crazy, right?
I have loved this song for decades and only found out last year!
😂😂me too, I always thought he was black!
@@NoCanDu 😆 😆 😆 😆
It was easy to get away with this back then. No music videos and such. I THINK they purposely hid the fact that Teena Marie was white, too. I think they didn't put her picture on her album. She worked with Rick James, sounded soulful and had her music played on the black stations, so no one really knew... until she wound up on Soul Train, I guess. LOL!!
What a sweet tribute. RIP, Bobby.
He is in an exclusive group of musicians that are referred to as Blue-Eyed Soul. This class of musicians included Boz Scaggs, Hall & Oates, Average White Band and others. The old school had a lot of Jazz influence. Boz Scaggs' Dirty Low Down is another perfect example. However, some, like Hall & Oates, wrote for Pop music listeners. Then you had the funksters, like The Average White Band, whose hits are timeless and still compel people to dance. The new school members of this sub-genre would include Sam Smith, Adele, Robin Thicke and the late Amy Winehouse.
…but only ONE white person was accepted by the black community as a ‘Soul Singer’ TEENA MARIE ( see ‘Fire and Desire’ Rick James & Teena Marie for an example)
@@byzinski I disagree. I've been around the music industry. She wasn't the only one. There's Michael McDonald/Doobie Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Hall & Oates, The Average White Band and even your namesake Righteous Brothers. They're all held in high regard in classic soul music.
Don't forget the originators The Righteous Brothers. The term was created because of them...
I worked for both Hall & Oates and AWB! Actually, when I worked for Hall & Oates they toured one summer with AWB and Michael McDonald! Best summer of my life. Super nice and über talented group of people. 🥰
@@NoCanDu Such a cool memory! I'd really like to hear more of those stories!
I'm white, and I never knew he was white too. Can't lie, I enjoy the reactions when people find out how much soul a lot of us all have in common ❤
Just found this after I heard Bobby Caldwell died, great voice, great song. RIP Bobby.
Bobby had such amazing vibrato. I never really noticed before. RIP, Sir.
his vocal technique was impeccable, which why he sounded incredible to the end. his voice actually got richer with age. a real pro.
His voice is so soulful.
Blue-eyed soul at its FINEST!!!! RIP, Bobby Caldwell. 🌷🌷🌷
That’s the way they did it then. Raw talent, raw voice, great instrumental!
His voice fits so well with the soft jazz playing in the background.
I just heard today that Bobby Caldwell died a few days ago...😂"What you wont do for love" has always been on the top of my list ever sense I first heard it back in the day. RIP, knowing you were loved by so many😇❣
Please react to: Hall & Oates: -Rich Girl -Sarah Smile -She's Gone -Thanks!!!
She's Gone is 🔥🔥🔥
Sara smile is one of my all time fav songs
When the song came out it was mostly played on r&b radio. The record executives kept his identity from the radio and from the public til he went on tour to promote the album with Natalie Cole. It blew audiences away. Lol
I'm 48, a kid when this song came out, but it is one of my all-time favorites. It's in my cellphone and has been going on 4yrs. Love this song.
One of the best R&B songs ever written. Bobby actually has a ton of hits and he also wrote and Co-Wrote/produced music for other artists too. Which reminds me, if you listen to the song "The Light" by Common, it is actually a Bobby Caldwell song sampled in the background (Bobby is the one singing, and you would think it's Stevie Wonder, I know I used to think it was).
If you want another shock try I Keep Forgettin’ byMichael McDonald
Ooooh, good one.
Bobby Caldwell! Shocking black folk since 1978!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥
He has soul. There's a song he sings called "Heart of Mine." My heart is breaking right now as I think of the lyrics. God help me....Yes, please listen to that song.
Please react to: Boz Scaggs: -Lowdown -Lido Shuffle -Breakdown Dead Ahead -Thanks!!!
Definitely should react to Boz Scaggs!! "Lowdown" or "JoJo"
you took the words right out of my mouth...was going to type the very same thing! Good on you!
My favorite is Miss Sun!
Boz!!
Low down live is the bomb
You like the spirit of this...
Try George Benson, “this masquerade" for example...
The outro to this song is so amazing. Smooth jazz and groovy
This is probably my 10th reaction video to this particular song this morning and believe me as a 60 year old white man my mind is as blown away as yours. My dad played the heck out of this song when I was a kid and I never knew until today 2022 that he’s a white man. Skinny white dude in a cowboy hat singing like a brother OMGLOL
I remember waking up to this song playing late at night in '79 & '80 and it helped lull me back to sleep (I had insomnia in my 8th month of pregnancy and totally fell in love with this song and have associated it with the birth of my only daughter - in a sea of 4 boys - ever since). LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!
What a great memory! And isn't it great to have this song associated with it?
they actually tried to hide bobby's race from the public as long as they could. they wanted him to present well to the r&b radio stations and the black community well. so for a while no one really knew, then he started making appearances and live performances and the gig was up. they did the same thing with elvis when he first started. i have been through all your vids i dont know why this wasnt on the list and all of a sudden shows up for me today. weird. nice reaction i love it!
I think that Teena Marie's racial identity was also hidden for some time when she got her first record deal.
Man it's lucky you guys just so happened to choose Bobby Caldwell to listen to he's such a hidden gem from the 70's. Just a heads up, most of the older songs you're listening to are mixed in stereo meaning there's different stuff going on in each audio channel so wearing headphones would be the best way to experience the songs. Just letting you know. Keep up the good work both of you!
Warren Hill "Passion theme" is GREAT, IF WANT SMOOTH JAZZ, SAX! SMOOTH JAZZ FOREVER! 👍🙂🎶🎷🎧
You want something with jazz? Gotta be George Benson, Give me the night is a good starter, sings and plays guitar. Man is smooth 😊
Add some Al Jarreau to the mix, too!!
Another great George Benson song is "This Masquerade" th-cam.com/video/qWZFGXTuoRo/w-d-xo.html
Caldwell, like Michael McDonald and Gregg Allman, fooled everyone with that soulful voice.
Back in the 70s(i was born in the 70s. So I remember that time - present), you made it on your skills. Vocal & instrumental. Did you notice he was playing piano and guitar? This song came out in 1978. I was still in elementary school.
Same here. I've loved this song for as long as I can remember.
Okay - Bobby Caldwell WROTE this song - and played every instrument on it. He also wrote a host of songs for famous Black R&B, Soul and Jazz Artists. He had (obviously) a KILLER set of pipes, and was also a great producer. He toured all over the world (check out his concert in Tokyo - TH-cam), and would occasionally drift into other folks' sessions (check out Jon Benet's comments about Bobby doing that on one of his early sessions - and what an influence Bobby was for him). Unlike Michael Bolton, Daryl Hall, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins - and other "blue-eyed soul" artists - he sort of flew under the radar. But the legacy he left was enormous. You were one of the very best there ever was, Bobby - and you will be so incredibly missed.
All music years 70-80 INCREDIBLE!
The voices wonderful!!!
Alls!!
FIRST! Hope you're well, Amber and Jay! Happy Sunday!
It was a shock for me too! LOL! But it goes to show talent is talent, regardless of race. RIP, by the way, as he recently passed away!
Rest in Peace, Bobby. 🙇🏾♀️🇺🇦
Man, this song brings back some great memories. Thanks for reacting.
You have NO idea how huge this song was. Ahhhhhh, memories!
Bobby was a great talent....great song...
A great soulful tune is 'ONE ON ONE' by Hall and Oates out of Philadelphia. Rooted in Philly soul.
Especially with CeeLo Green on Live From Daryl’s House! And “ I Can’t Go for That” on the same episode.
Agree!
I love Bobby Caldwell. My favorites other than this song are Open Your Eyes, My Flame, Next Time I Fall, Where is Love*, Beyond the Sea he goes really old school, I dig it.
RIP brother in soul. 🌹
This proof that music is universal.
Back in the 50s when rock started, blues and jazz were the bass of where it sprung. There were a lot of black artists that influenced white artists in rock, country, jazz, etc. Later in the 60s and 70s, we grew up with Motown & R&B on the radio along with all the other artists. It was one big melting pot of music. I watched American Bandstand and Soul Train. The establishment didn't like that Elvis was doing "black" music, but the youth loved it and started a revolution in music. I think that is why a lot of us older people are surprised that younger people have been pigeon holed into staying in their racial lane. It is very alien to me. Music is about the beauty of music and expression. Whatever fits your style and need should be what you do and what you like.
We all knew he was white back then .... he is blue eyed soul
Lots of people didn't know and have just found out years later.......you knew but lots didn't
There's at least one YT video out there something like Musical Artists You Thought Were White/Black, But Aren't. Kind of amazing, growing up hearing all these bands, picturing them one way, but we're completely wrong.
@Robert Brown yup! I used to think about this a lot when I was a teen. Can't remember now! they come up song by song, and I'm STILL blown away!
@Robert Brown Wild Cherry "Play That Funky Music White Boy!" I mean COME ON! It's in the damn NAME!!!
Love this song. I loved your reaction. ❤️
Bobby is welcome in every cookout.
Oh yea. BC is fantastic. Soul brother for sure. Surprisingly , his parents were Musicians in New York on Broadway where he was raised.
I got a great song for you from Michael McDonald called I Keep Forgetting
An absolute great song
Great song!
yesss 💙💙💙
More "blue - eyed soul" that people forget is Teena Marie. Amazing vocalist, instrumentalist, composer and arranger
Casanova Brown by Teena Marie…
I was literally thinking that the other day. Female Friday pick.
Nobody forgets Lady Tee.
Yeah HomeBoy was Smooth !! He had that silky voice !! R.I.P 😔
I use to jam to this song back in Jr high and high School, slow dance 🎶👍😎👌
Bobby was an incredible singer songwriter. I've already seen you two react to Next TIme I Fall with Peter Cetera and Amy Grant singing. Bobby was co-writer of that song with Paul Gordon. Please check out the Bobby Caldwell version of Next Time I Fall. As great as the Cetera / Grant version is, Bobby blew them away.
I was rolling into Miami in '79 to pick up my first ship as a croupier and this came on...left a hard vibe & picture in my brain. Great, frozen moment that repeats every time I hear it.
Amazing! .... RIP Bobby Caldwell 🙏
Birth name: Robert Hunter Caldwell
Born: August 15, 1951, New York City, New York, U.S.
Died: March 14, 2023 (aged 71), New York City, New York, U.S.
REST IN PEACE
Great singer and musician (multi-instrumentalist)! Tupac sampled it 20 years later in a song called, "Do For Love", back in 1998. Take a listen to "Jamaica" from Bobby Caldwell, beautiful song...
He played all the instruments on this track recording.
One of my all time favs!!!
So sad just heard Bobby Caldwell passed away today, one of the original blue eyed soul singers. R.I.P.
Rest in Music Paradise, Bobby Caldwell. Remembering slow dancing to this song with my college girlfriend ❤
Hey guys great choice! I've recommended Chris Stapleton with you guys before. Please do "sometimes I cry" you will be amazed and shook up! You will want to do more of his songs after that. Guaranteed!!
Chris is amazing. 'Blow' with him, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran is 🔥
I wouldn't mind a reaction to "Cold" by him.
Don't forget Warren Wiebie, Tina Marie Rightous Brothers Simply Red
I have a play list called "Love Potions" that has like 1500 songs dating back to the 50''s. And this song is at the top of the list.
The 60's and 70's we had it right.... soul doesn't have a color ;)
Read up on bobby,he played all the instruments, and did all the backing too,and was best black newcomer in 1978.
This is one of my favorite song from the 70's. We didn't have MTV when I was young so we didn't know when we first heard this song.
This is a late '70s track, also check out 'Down For The Third Time' by him. The setting in the shadows at the beginning is the cover picture of the album that this was taken from.
The man's name is Bobby Caldwell. I'd expect him to be a brother, too. Awesome song.
RIP!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Voice.
I read somewhere that he played most of the instrumentals in this song. RIP Bobby..
Got this in 1978 as a red heartshaped 45 vinyl from the love of my life. After that, I sang it all the time at get togethers, it was perfect for my voice. Now I'm 65, can't sing so well anymore, lost the love of my life in 79, but I still have that 45 safely tucked away in my keepsakes.😊 I loved your delight in this song. Thank you.
FYI: So many white bands back in the day, had some surprising soul in their music.
Bobby Caldwell is very underestimated! I grew up listening to him. He’s a badass
Make me want to hear some Barry White "Can't get Enough Of your Love".
Although over 30 years ago I heard this song, my reaction was the same. Loved me song Bobby Caldwell.RIP🥹
One of my favorite songs in high school.👍
Jazz? Do "take five" by dave brubeck! Then the Al Jarreau vocal, improv version; incredible stuff
This dates from the late 1970's and is smooth AF
Proper soul
RIP the Legend, the man had many family get togethers Pop Off
Great reaction! Bobby Caldwell is amazing. I recommend you to react to “John Farnham - That’s What Love Will Make You Do LIVE 2000”. His voice is unique and every member of his band is a virtuoso when they all do a solo to this wonderful RnB song. I think it will be right up your alley! 🤗
@1:23
Released in 1978
@2:23
_Yes,_ they _did_ reveal him that way on purpose. Being that he is a Soul/Jazz singer who is White, they didn't believe that albums would sell to the Black community if they put his face on the album cover. They also did it the same way in the video because they wanted people to hear his voice first.
Loving my Sunday with you and Amber and watching the Replacements on TV good way to end my crazy week
Boz Scaggs is a must and Earth, Wind, and Fire reactions!
......And I love so many different genres of music...including soul,jazz, tamla., rock , folk, etc etc....that’s why I subscribed to you two 👏👏👏
DOPE.....IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE THANKS YALL STILL MY NUMBER ONEZ.
That moment of realization always makes me laugh.
Do some Eric Clapton: Wonderful Tonight, Layla, Tears in Heaven, After Midnight, Cocaine
'Tears in heaven' really pulls at the heart.
Rest In Peace Bobby
From the Fabulous 70s, a decade of music they will go down in time is one of the best decades of all. So many different genres in 10 years, groups, solos, R&B, jazz, rock it had everything and more
1000s of babies made to this song....
