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, do for love You've tried everything but you don't give up In my world only you makes me do For love what I would not do But then I only want the best it's true They can't believe the things I do for you What you won't do, do for love You've tried everything but you don't give up In my world, only you makes me do For love what I would not do Makes me do for love what I would not do
"What You Won't Do for Love" is a song by American singer-songwriter Bobby Caldwell. It was released in September 1978 as the lead single from his eponymous debut album (1978). It was written by Caldwell and Alfons Kettner, and produced by Ann Holloway. The song has been covered and sampled numerous times, including by Tupac Shakur in the posthumous 1998 hit "Do for Love". After gaining a reputation in Miami clubs as a talented musician, Caldwell was signed to an exclusive contract with TK Records in 1978 by TK Records president Henry Stone. Heading to the studio, Caldwell recorded his first album, which was given a redo after Stone felt the album was good but "didn't have a hit". Caldwell returned to the studio and came up with the final product, which included "What You Won't Do for Love". The song's horn arrangement was written and recorded by Miami arranger Mike Lewis. The song is in the key of F-sharp minor (although the pitch of the commercial track is slightly flat - i.e., below concert pitch - perhaps due to tape machine speed variation). Caldwell wanted the song to be the sixth track on the album since he figured his debut album's second track, "My Flame", which featured him playing guitar, would be the hit. However, TK Records felt confident that "What You Won't Do for Love" would be the breakout hit. When it was released to R&B radio, TK Records did their best to hide Caldwell's racial identity, hoping not to alienate their predominantly African American audience. However, when Caldwell began making performances live onstage, demand only increased.

Though Bobby and my sister (producer-engineer) are gone, it's very heartwarming to see this tune still being played and enjoyed. Thank you.

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, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
But then I only want the best it's true
They can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world, only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
Makes me do for love what I would not do

@nicolaupoceiro7570 Mr Caldwell would be flattered, that good people, put time and love in to play his music, respect
I am sorry you're hard of hearing. The guy in blue shirt ruined the song. I don't know why he thought he could sing.
@doowoplover1932 nice shirt though
The guitarist in the blue shirt ruined the song. He can't sing ! The lady can sing. Easy on the eyes as well :-)
I think he's a good singer, they sound very good together
what's the girl's ig @?
She's a Christian
