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’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.
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 .
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.
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?!"
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.
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.
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.
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!
Kelly Finnigan has a new album out. It’s perfect. His first album is incredible as well! Colemine records is an amazing record label for soul, r&b, and smooth grooves.
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 ❤️

Here I am bringing in 2024 with Bobby Caldwell helping heal my heart. Thank You Bobby for Showing the world that one’s soul can transcend any barrier. You are loved, and you are missed 🙏
Alright maybe because I'm kind of new to this guy, I've been watching David Bowie instead but who the hell cares that this guy is white? And how was it a question?
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!
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 🙏🏾🙏🏾
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 .
The rhodes keys, the trumpets, the synthesizer, his voice, even the drums..the bass... the only way this song could've missed, was if nobody ever heard it.
RIP Bobby Caldwell. We who appreciate good music are still listening 2025

Don't judge a person by the color of their skin; judge them by the music residing in their heart; it is a love song.
Exactly ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank. You.
Alright maybe because I'm kind of new to this guy, I've been watching David Bowie instead but who the hell cares that this guy is white? And how was it a question?
💯
@@claymationgloves3662 no it's just weird cause it's like Rick Astley and how he has the black singing voice, its nothing really to do with race is it
One of the best luv songs . He's a Icon. My younger days . Staying in my home town Mia. 305
This is DMX's favorite song ever - with good reason. Rest in power, X - thank you Mr. Caldwell
Aww Really…Rip X ❤️❤️❤️
rip to both of them ❤
Bobby that dude. Blue eyed soul
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!
There was an article explaining that it was indeed his idea, he traced his silhouette in the bench.
Amazing range in that voice ❤
I Don't care what color he is, this is a CLASSIC!!!!! I love this song.
Yesssssssssssss
EXACTLY !!!!
Ditto..!

All this time, I thought this man was black. A soulful voice and a legend. RIP Bobby Caldwell 🙏🏿
. You are not alone.
I thought he was a black man all this time.
Same here.. Lol
I thought Bob James was too.
....with a splendid voice like that, who wouldn't?
I can’t believe he’s white, been listening to this song since it came out
Fucking same!!! Regardless of his color this is a great song and his voice is awesome
Music is and has always been universal
there is no monopoly on soul
Peace to the good brotha and this vibe he created ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Well said!!!!
That's a fact.
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 .
Louis Satterfield told me this fact, many Moons ago. Nothing new under the Sun. Igziabeher...

Much Love From Kenya.
The rhodes keys, the trumpets, the synthesizer, his voice, even the drums..the bass... the only way this song could've missed, was if nobody ever heard it.
The song got to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100; #6 on the Billboard R&B; #10 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary., so it did well.
