      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.

    Music truly comes from one’s Soul. Bobby’s style and groove transcends the boundaries applied by society. It kind of reminds me of Charlie Pride back in the day. White folks, even racist ones didn’t know Charlie was a Black man and it didn’t matter, he was special…. And so was Bobby Caldwell. What a gem.

      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.
