Todos os negros dos estados unidos pensavam que esse cantor era negro, pois seu jeito de cantar é soul music e ainda por cima seu primeiro álbum ele aparece eu um tom escuro ofuscando sua verdadeira cor, olhe no Google e verá. Sua voz encantou uma geração toda.
I would like to share that there was a time in my life where I was completely broken. I didn't know where to turn. I tried crying out to family members and friends, that did not work. I finally cried out to Jesus, and he heard my cry. When the bible says God is near to the brokenhearted it is very true. I cried out to God in tears, and He eventually turned my sorrow to joy. I thank God for the gift of salvation that He gave me. Now I have a wife and 3 kids that God has blessed me with. Please stick in there and give God a chance to transform your life. Cry out to God no matter how broken you are.
I am 60 and just found out yesterday that he was white. All these years I swore I remembered a black man singing this song. I am in shock. Amazing voice!! I had no clue.
Well, he purposely had him in the shadow on the cover of the record and also he won best New black r&b artist (until they found out he was white😂). So, most people thought he was.
@RidgebackHQ Why mention it? When you hear this song, you do not picture the person singing it, so it's a tad surprising. *Fun Fact: the record company PURPOSELY kept his picture off of the album cover so that the song could get the play it got in some of the places the song was place.* No, in the grand scheme of things, it does not matter. Well, at least it shouldn't. However, mention of it does not take away from this song or anything Mr. Caldwell accomplished in his life or career. It's simply a statement that speaks to people hearing this song - the groove and the voice - thinking the singer is Black and slightly being taken aback when finding out he isn't.
How do you not know that Bobby was white? Great singer, Great song Writer. He wrote songs for Roberta Flack, Common ( open your eyes) & the light, Al Jerreau, The Commodores, Evelyn Champagne King, Roy Ayers, Boz Scaggs, Jean Carne & Lenny Williams my fave ( Giving up on Love), Natalie Cole, Vanessa Williams, Jonny Gil ( the way u luv me girl) , Chicago, Amy. grant, Peter Cetera, and Neil Diamond. The man was a Musical Genius .
If you did not know who he was-you had never seen a picture-and did not know those things about him/his career, based on the song alone, it's easy to think the person singing is not Black. Even when this song first came out and people "discovered" what was kept "secret," they, too, were surprised.
I Didnt know he was white till he died. My entire life i thought he was black and never thought aboit looking him up to see him perform. RIP Robert. You had one of the smoothest voices.
My babysitter used to play this song constantly. I used to sing this to my kids and dance with them when they were small. This song has some special memories ❤
Not black or white myself but Mexican, I was surprised af as well. He has one smooth voice. I’ve always said black folks have the best singing voice. Bobby is up there!
This was my first reaction 😂 i herd the song a lot but never seen the video but when i did i was so proud of him. We as the black community would like to accept boby caldwell in exchange for doja cat😂💯 soul brotha
Doja cat is absolutely disgusting. She mocks God and she is working for satan's realm. I wouldn't even say she should be in any rank of music because she's just insulting. the Lord. That's all she ever did and that's all she ever will do unless we pray for her where she can repent of her sins and come to the Lord and know that she is in. The wrong.
My reaction exactly! I grew up listening to Bobby Caldwell on the radio and never knew he was white. I just loved his voice and music. Im 67 years old and everytime i hear this song i start grooving. ❤❤
I just found out he was white too at this very second and it took my breath away. This song hits forever and I never suspected a man that looks like him was behind it. He was smooth in every way. Music 🎶 🎼 🎵 💃 🤯
I have all his albums. Much more music and soul from this wonderful man. RIP, Bobby. Thank you for the way your music made me feel. Soul is soul, no matter who brings it.
IM DEAD AF
How can this be? I never knew. He so smooth. 🥰😍
😂😂 I was thinking dude was black he had soul rip
I love how AF translates to OF

Crazy I know amazing voice tricks you to thinking they are someone else
Same 😂😂
I just found out from you just now😂

@@MrNobody91 no way! That’s a hilarious fun fact
This song never gets old..❤
Seriously 😂
ART. Timeless. Inspiring.
In my Playlist ❤
Never ❤️
I don't care what color he is I love his music ❤️
It's not that anyone cares it's the fact that we just never saw him or at least I never saw him and I love the song
@LollarPopsbc he sounds like a black man is why dude was surprised y’all don’t use ya head
@LollarPopsbecause it’s still surprising, that’s why. No one is saying that it’s a bad thing so relax.

Rip
He’s dead?! Dammit!
QUÉ?!!!!!
@@CeciBunnifly he died 1 year ago today.
@@TrillBelichick This kills me, man. Thanks for telling me though. Blessings
Soul has no color. When you got it, you got it. Shoutout to Lisa and Simply Red
Shout out to Michael McDonald also
@@denosnead8988 real spill bro. Keep Forgetting was sampled by G Funk
Amy
@@bethlibart real deal vocals with the riff
Preach 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
His voice is pure, liquid gold. ❤️🙏
I was yesterday’s years old when I found this out! Wow, RIP 😢
This is what we use to call Blue-eyed soul-Bobby Caldwell, Tina Marie, Lisa Stansfield, and Michael McDonald!
Used to. It's past tense. USED TO.
@@barbarat5729🙄 Grammar police are everywhere!
And Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins and so many more!
And as I was growing up, the original " Blue eyed soul" The Righteous Bros.
@@annarodriguez9868to be fair, I think he was pointing out “Past tense” as he’s passed. But I take your point on the Grammar loons!
WE CALL THAT BLUE EYED SOUL. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS. FO SHO..😊
Timeless song..... RIP Bobby Caldwell...
Black white whatever may he rest in peace the guy was cool
Love bobby caldwell and im black if you can sing yiu just can sing i care less about your skin

@@yuegonghuamei6685 hmm isn't that racist
Exactly people need to stop bein this way
One the smoothest voices ever...saw him live when WE were all young...a classic for All Time..
Love this tune who cares what color he is ...😊❤
So nice to hear that beautiful voice. Makes you forget all the bad things going on. Music is the answer to depression ❤
I was thinking the same thing 😢
Fact! I listened to this song on my way from the baby doctor😅
A white man with soul in him 💯❤️
There are PLENTY
😂
@@mamiebroome5155 yeah not really you lied
@@batsfortabs not true most of you guys dont have the groove or smoothness
@@mamiebroome5155 absolutely a lie
Brothers and sisters need to know that all humans have the potential to be soulful ❤
Hell yeah
Amen to that!❤
Thank you. Music is universal!
Naturally. Being unsoulful is a corruption. 😊
No. This is not the truth. Lol
RIP Mr. Caldwell. Great vocals. I was surprised too.
Beautiful soulful voice!!❤
That's songs a timeless classic. R.I.P to him.🙌
Just found out at his passing. I feel you…surprise! Doesn’t matter at all. That brother could sing. RIP! And thank you.
Soul is soul and Bobby was definitely one of the best!! ❤
RIP Bobby Caldwell ❤ forever brother
One of my favorite songs.
Fucked me right up. I didn’t know. Honestly. RIP Bobby Caldwell.
The way everyone welcomed him is seriously priceless ❤️
Remember the album cover, him dressed in black with his back turned.!
Love this song! It transports me back to good times of great music.
I love this beautiful tune.❤❤❤😊

Blue eyed soul. An exceedingly rare and beautiful sound to behold...
Yes, most definitely. ❤
Why is it rare? Lmao
@@joeybabcock7366 - That's a good question.
@@astraghost774 probably because there hasn’t been another one like him.
Bobby Caldwell and Michael Mcdonald ❤️
I Didnt know he was white till he died. My entire life i thought he was black and never thought aboit looking him up to see him perform. RIP Robert. You had one of the smoothest voices.
Same here I just love the song did they keep him a secret all these years😅🎉🎉
I was just as shocked! Man this is one of my all time favorite jamz! RIP Mr Bobby soooooo smooth❤

RIP Bobby Caldwell. I always thought he was black too. Beautiful voice ❤️

Wonderful voice!! Soothing..
Music isn’t colored when it comes to raw talent like this.
This was my first reaction 😂 i herd the song a lot but never seen the video but when i did i was so proud of him. We as the black community would like to accept boby caldwell in exchange for doja cat😂💯 soul brotha
Lol the trade. 😂😂😂

You can't take the only soul that we have LO. L
😂😂😂
That's such a smooth @ss jam. Good music like this never gets old.
he used to perform behind a curtain in certain places for this very reason
Yet, racism against white exist. Many still don't accept that, living it is the best way to understand. 😉
What's was the reason?
@@JoeZUGOOLA he performed R&B/Jazz type music at mostly black venues and didnt want to be written off before he was heard because he is white
Wow I didn’t know that
@@paulgardner5079 he won best new black artist lol then they found out lol
As a black man borned in 1962 down south. This was the song in the late 70s. May this soulful angel rest in peace✌️ . God Bless
God rest Mr Bobby’s soul great person and great music..
Never as a singer sounded so different to his physical appearance.
Rick Ashley
Rick Astley
Teena Marie didn't look the way she sounded either
How?
Shows the variety of spectrum within the human race.
He is entertaining heaven ❤ Thank you Bobby for sharing God's gift ❤
Beautiful song! Condolences to Bobby's family and friends, on his passing away recently.
Best reaction video I've seen. Bobby's voice was pure silk. Classy af.
