    I was 15 back in 78 when this song hit. We couldn´t believe such a soulful voice was coming from a white cat. It told us that anybody could have soul. This song became probably my favorite r&b song ever. Still love it, still as fresh 36 years later.

He taught himself to play the Hammond B3 organ in High School because he was inspired by the great Mose Alison. He entertained all of us who knew and loved him. Rest in Peace Cousin Eidson, you're finally home. Hope my Dad was there to greet you when you arrived.

    I guess you wonder where I've been
    I searched to find a love within
    I came back to let you know
    Got a thing for you and I can't let go
    My friends wonder what is wrong with me
    Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see
    I came back to let you know
    Got a thing for you and I can't let go
    Some people go around the world for love
    But they may never find what they dream of
    What you won't do, to do for love
    You tried everything but you don't give up
    In my world only you
    Make me do for love what I would not do
    My friends wonder what is wrong with me
    But I'm in a daze from your love, you see
    I came back to let you know
    Got a thing for you and I can't let go
    But then I only want the best, it's true
    I can't believe the things I do for you
    What you won't do, do for love
    You've tried everything but you won't give up
    In my world, only you make me do for love what I would not do
    Make me do for love what I would not do
    Make me do for love what I would not do
    Make me do for love what I would not do

    I am 23 years old, randomly found this song on Apple music about 5 years ago and loved it instantly. Have listened to it pretty much every day since, sad to see this legend go. This all time classic broke racial barriers and generational barriers. It will forever live on Rip Bobby

    Singer and songwriter Bobby Caldwell, the man behind the 1978 platinum hit "What You Won't Do For Love," has died on March 15, 2023 at age 71, his wife Mary confirmed to CBS News on Wednesday.
    He was a world class songwriter who also happened to possess the kind of mellifluous voice that made him soul music royalty. Today we say a sad goodbye to legendary singer and songwriter Bobby Caldwell, a four decade star best known for his now-iconic hit "What You Won't Do For Love."
