D.Smooth performs Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do for Love" | The Voice Live Finale | NBC

[@robertantonnyc]

Great arrangement, simplified opening, let's his vocals shine brilliantly. This is such a vibe. Get this man a record deal and a touring show. He is so ready. - So You Wanna Be A Singer

[@JenLo-01]

Agreed. I had to replay the performance because the first time I found myself completely zoned into how smooth his voice was.

[@togo2africa]

I hope the late great Bobby Caldwell who made this song a hit in the 1970’s and who just passed in March 2023 would have enjoyed hearing DSmooth sing his song.

[@brianacooper9341]

I would definitely pay to see this man in live concert if they don't give him a record deal after this show I don't even care if he doesn't win this show they better give him a good record deal I can already imagine all the features and collaborations he would be doing with so many famous artists he already looks like he's a famous artist feature on the show and not one of the contestants this man is so good I only watch this season because I wanted to go for Niall but now I'm going for D Smooth I don't care whose team he's on 😂

[@robertantonnyc]

@@togo2africa I think he would.

Might be the best potential artist ever on the voice.

[@Ms1964Cheryl]

I truly agree

[@sieira12]

Rest in peace Bobby Caldwell

[@Lushiz]

I could play D Smooth in my car every single day and night.

[@pamwilleford2076]

Yes

[@bluiib8227]

Right

[@nasskc896]

DSmooth has to win this. He deserves it. Such a talent & very cool humble guy

[@thebossgirl.28]

Vote for him❤❤

[@moozie996]

i felt like gina and dsmooth really caught my eyes for this season

[@Kymaad]

Love him but to me Gina and Grace are really better

[@keyondavis7241]

I did a bit of research. This song came out in 1978. He made it sound like it came out tonight and it was our first time hearing this song. Such a cool arrangement and loved how they replaced a lot of the horns with more electronic sounds

[@rtrue3502]

Now if you listen to the lyrics. The realness step in. Then and Now.

[@puget07]

To each his own. It's an old school song, the horns are an integral part of Bobby Caldwell's original tune and to me, of this song. "The original and still the best" applies here but, props to Smooth for his excellent vocal

[@cynnfolc]

... "did a bit of research".? Uh, you late to the party. He did alright, made me want to listen to the original but he ain't kill it. I like what 2Pac did and what snoh Aalegra did with the song but outside that is best left alone. FR.

[@mathafenimathafeni]

The name says it all- D Smooth- smooth & Silky on the vocals

[@TheMegolas1]

D Smooth has a big career ahead of him, even though he didn’t win! I’m not a huge R&B fan, but I seriously can’t get enough of him!!!

[@noivaswright]

My boy!!! I was not expecting this version from you but now it’s one of my favorites of all time! You did our Unc (Bobby Caldwell) proud! You are here for a reason and you are so deserving of all the recognition and praise that you’ve gotten so far and will get in the future. I’m so thankful to have been around you and your positive spirit. Love you man! You represent US all well, brotha! #Season23

[@tootz1950]

A whole album of this would make everybody happy.

[@marcos7801]

D Smooth has an old-school vibe and 'smoothness' audiences love and can connect to.

[@debrahughes6769]

YES YES YES! OMG! just fantastic! It's been a LONG TIME since the Voice had a singer like this. Phenomenal!!!!

[@Noahwarriorsfan]

Ever listen to Cam Anthony?? He was the best RNB/soul singer in awhile on the Voice. D. smooth was really good as well.

[@chedelyngeetabalba3768]

MYGOSH!!! D.SMOOTH IS A REAL WINNER WITH HIS SONG CHOICES!!! DAMN!!!!!!

[@userunknown1578]

Another amazing performance by D Smooth!!! Make sure to vote!!!

[@adolfoleon9595]

DSmooth for the win! His tone is perfection, the song selection was perfect for his voice. I can hear him right now on the radio or having a record 👏

[@itllpass55555]

One of the best performances of the night along w Gina’s Nothing Compares 2 U rooting for them both!!!!

[@CoCoBwaire]

This was my favorit performance! After rewinding it on tv 3 times I had to come to KZbin to find it. 🔥🔥

[@titaniaberry744]

Me too! I just made me a KZbin Playlist with just him on it.

[@joesepulveda1824]

D smooth has so much talent he should win it all!

[@nancycoleman369]

I liked all the finale contestants so much. I rarely like them all but I’ll be glad for any of them to win- but I like DSmooth the best. He brings so much class and joy in his performances. Most consistently great!

[@dashriprock8596]

Mr. Smooth - you made my evening by choosing to sing this classic by the late great Bobby Caldwell. This was the perfect song for you.

[@itllpass55555]

We need him on the radio ASAP

[@sabrinajohnson4714]

I had to rewind his performances it was so good

[@Taytimethursday]

He’s radio ready and I can’t wait to hear what he does next. Great showmanship through the entire season 🎉❤

[@ritafavia2223]

Absolutely fantastic. D Smooth certainly deserves a record deal. He is "THE VOICE" . He's right up there with the best. So professional

[@lufflyness]

This was my favorite performance of the night. I can totally hear him having a hit with something like this today.

[@pruhdominic]

[@lynngold1865]

D.Smooth for The Win! He is so natural on stage.I am back in the 80's in the clubs.What a SMOOTH VIBE!....sorry, couldn't resist.🌌💜☮️🎶😉

[@boatster779]

The Winner of the Voice!! No one's even close!

[@dondee5439]

D.SMOOTH did a fine job here. Bobby Caldwell wrote and performed this song originally. It was his biggest hit. He was put into a genre labeled BLUE-EYED SOUL. He was white but his singing voice was often mistaken as being black. There are many reaction videos on yt of people learning for the first time that he was a white singer.

[@Carameldiva711]

Now, this is how music is done!!! D. Smooth just took us back.

[@alxibba1]

🔥 He kept that soul going, Bobby is proud of you brother 🙏🏼❤️

[@mjmycalz]

I would buy his album attend his concerts he is amazing this guy, the best this season👏👏👏

[@HeroShades]

This was another song I haven't heard before but man D. Smooth killed that! Fantastic performance from him and that was super cool. Loved it and that arrangement was everything!

[@dashriprock8596]

Guess you weren't around when this classic was released in the late 70s by Bobby Caldwell, one of the blackest sounding white men out there (along with Michael McDonald of course).

[@HeroShades]

@@dashriprock8596 Yeah I wasn't around during those times.

[@ronniepeterson6911]

Next to D. Smooth performing his latest song of what went wrong in their love life asking What You Won't Do for Love. The song was done by the late Bobby Caldwell who died on March 14 of this year. The 71-year old led through every song on the radio and music videos. But on The Voice, his cover song was the coach's idea of his nailing. Tonight, either he sent home or stay in the competition. it's up to the instant save.......but nobody sang Bobby Caldwell's tune better than.....
