[@dgtldead]

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.

[@Jchillin757]

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.

I can’t believe he’s white, been listening to this song since it came out

Fucking same!!! Regardless of his color this is a great song and his voice is awesome

[@kathymcclartywhite3091]

I'm 65 years old. Why am I just finding out March 22, 2024, that a white guy sung this song! It doesn't matter, I'm just surprised...

[@GMANN83]

I understand completely as a black man , I saw him perform this song live in oakland at yoshi's , Excellent !

[@giuliettamassina7787]

Me too!

[@pretty_lilcryer2926]

Same . I’m 40. I’m embarrassed lol

[@HelenaDelacy]

The music industry hid the fact he was white so his albums would sell. I don't think it should matter. You can be purple for all I care. Music that moves you is what is important!

[@tabathaletson5040]

Gotta admit I was a lil shocked lol never knew

I was just jamming this yesterday and found out he passed today 😢 RIP 💫 Gone but never forgotten. He sung this with SOUL

The issue is black people don’t get the money 💴 their music generates like other ethnic groups, most of our black artist die broke. That’s what needs to be fixed .

Out of nowhere last night I started singing this song. It was one of my favorites. Imagine my surprise and sadness when I heard that Bobby Caldwell had passed yesterday. His spirit paid me and everyone of his fans a visit yesterday. May he rest in power among the angels.

[@goat1408]

I think that was the case too with me.....because it was either the same day or the day before his passing this song was in my head.....it's one of my absolute faves but something hit different that day. Today (first day of Spring 2023) I heard the song for the first time all the way through since his passing......tears was slowly rolling down my face.....he left us with timeless music....

[@glennquagmire6153]
