    The first time I heard Bobby Caldwell's voice on the radio I was a fan! I was overwhelmed to purchase tickets for a live performance at The Circle Star, San Carlos, Ca., my requested purchased tickets was in a row near the end of the Star Isle. I screamed so loud, when he came through the curtains walking towards the stage, he looked at me & kindly extended his hand!! I also, was blessed to see him live at the San Jose Jazz Festival. Thank you Mr. Caldwell for sharing your talents & Condolences to your family!! Love Forever/ R.I.P./💙🎵🎼🎶🎹📻🎤💙

    That song will live on and the good memories will linger but I feel as if I lost a special connection to happier times in my life. That song takes me back to the days when I still had three living grand parents, all my Aunt's and Uncles, and both of my parents. In the back of my mind I hoped that one day I would eventually hear him perform it live. Just like the tale of elusive love that chance is gone. #RIPMrCaldwell

    So many people always assumed Bobby Caldwell was a black singer because of his sound. There are many reaction videos on yt showing people seeing him for the first time. The singer in the group Spiral Staircase has a similar vibe. Their big hit was I LOVE YOU MORE TODAY THAN YESTERDAY. The guy sounds like Stevie Wonder to me but he is white. Good music truly brings people together.
