RIP Bobby Caldwell. He passed away a few days ago. Beautiful song, from a wonderful singer. Great reaction Greg.

[@patrickdoherty2731]

God bless him

[@acchavez2692]

Rip Bobby a true legend

[@kennbicknell5492]

*He just passed, March 14, 2023 at age 71. But he lives on through this timeless classic! He was 27 here, in 1978.*

[@tiagomartinsschurhaus1747]

Ele tinha 36 nasceu 1942 1978 da 36

[@annehuijs6613]

45 years later it’s still a hit. This song will never play out.

[@shan5445]

You could play this song a million times and it would still be special each time it's played.

[@inkoinfinity2]

He played every instrument in this song, very talented

[@mamaalaska]

Rest in peace to one of the finest soul singers of my generation. My husband and I had our wedding dance to the song we were together over 50 years.

[@sissybushnell7959]

RIP Bobby❤ I’m 67 years old and we grew up listening to music no black or white label just the joy of hearing good music

[@dagmar.6954]

This was Bobby's biggest hit in 1978. The R&B label that recorded this left his picture off the album & most people were shocked to find out that he was white. Bobby ended up having great success writing hit songs for other artists. Sadly Bobby just passed away recently.

[@jaysmith8677]

He was nominated for a Grammy- best new black artist- nobody knew.

[@rjcarmineglorso7323]

Rest in peace Bobby, this song is so incredible. That hook gets me every time. He was what, 27 when he filmed this video? Bobby had a bad reaction to medication a few years ago, and I’m so relieved he’s no longer suffering. Questlove and other musicians tried to collaborate with Bobby, but he was very sick towards the end of his life. We were so blessed to have Bobby Caldwell.

[@yolandabrooksqueenofsevens]

Rest In Peace Bobby Caldwell 🔥

[@bobdoyle8508]

Breaks my heart that we have lost such a talented extraordinary musician I could listen to this song all day❤😢

[@shawnj1966]

I've had this song stuck in my head ever since he passed away. Beautiful song!

[@bella-xp7qd]

After songs for his first album were recorded, executives told Caldwell they enjoyed the album, but thought it was lacking a hit. Caldwell returned to the studio for two days and wrote "What You Won't Do for Love". TK was mainly an R&B label popular among African American listeners. Executives at the label wanted to conceal the fact that Caldwell was white, so they kept his face off the album cover. When he toured with Natalie Cole to support the album, most of the audience was black and many were surprised that Caldwell was white. It was Bobby's idea to start with him in the shadows.

[@kellyerobinson5605]

It was Bobby's idea to conceal himself not the record company. He drew the artwork himself on the album cover. Bobby was the creative force behind that concept. He didn't allow the powers that be control over him, which is probably why his music didn't get the air play that it should have. His die hard fans know his music regardless. And the younger generation is hearing it by way of their parents and grandparents. Yay!!!

[@pamcruz9134]

I grew up listening to Bobby, my heart broke when he passed away recently 💔 thank you for the great reaction 🙏

[@deannacrownover3]

Singing in heaven must be the BEST! We'll see you soon brother Bobby! (You know he's got the angels playing backup!)

[@sandramiller6752]

R I p Bobby ❤

[@j.t.3798]

Damn, didn't know Bobby passed. RIP

[@livingandriding]

RIP Bobby Calwell! I'm white and had NO idea he was white...I just always loved this song whenever it was played...He played many instruments and all in this song as I have heard. What a beautiful song...Thank you for playing this one!

[@snattler]

I showed the video to a coworker who is black. His reaction when Bobby stepped out of the shadow was hilarious. His eyes got big and his mouth literally dropped open. Then he was like, "What?!? No way"

[@kathleenseddon6638]

Rest In Peace Bobby Caldwell 🙏 this is a classic I grew up with and love it!

[@Faded.Visuals]

You see Bobby Caldwell is the type of brotha who’s not only invited to the barbecue but he’s also allow to bring the potato salad as well!

[@kellyerobinson5605]

Yessss😅😅😅😅😅

[@bparker8195]

And the bbq baked beans! 😂

[@dustinmurphy82able]

😂 when I seen you look at your arm I knew it was coming 😂😂😂😂Hahahah this was a classic reaction lol. Watching Bobby and Righteous Brothers reactions all night 😂😂😂 priceless

[@ritamasterson7809]

He actually won "Best Nrw Black Artist"... in 1978. Swear to God. Nobody ever saw him... he was just nominated because EVERYONE thought he was black... imagine being there when he walked up to receive the award.... priceless.

[@Mtc0nqr3r]

Your reaction is priceless. When this came out in the 70s we did the same thing.

[@karenlee4874]

Soul doesn't know color that's what is so great.

[@megdelaney3677]

RIP Bobby Caldwell☮

[@Sagoingne1]

I've seen several reactions to Bobby Caldwell's What You Won't Do For Love, and this one is the first that mentions, but doesn't focus on him being white. Instead, Greg broke down the lyrics and their meaning. Big respect for Greg for mentioning the shock value, but then focusing on what the song is saying! 10/10

[@MatthewDawson-tf8jp]

Brother. This IS a family reunion. We are One.

[@jeanearle2350]

I seen someone say something on a page that I will never forget and its the truth, you have no idea how many white people were surprised Charlie Pride was black. Music has no color, its all just love.

[@norsethenomad5978]

God I lost it when he squinted at the screen, check his own skin color just to verify, looked back at the screen, then paused. I love these reactions so much

[@grandillusion4258]

LOL I had no idea either, until I started watching reaction videos. I was 19 when this song came out and still had no idea.

[@Buttsac]

That bassline tho

[@j.t.3798]

Love your channel, brother. Blessings to you and your family.

[@simonbutler5413]

Soul has know colour god bless you you are in God's hands now probably singing to the angles ✨️ 🙏 god bless you for blessing us with your music ❤

[@jerrybutler1336]

blue eyed soul

[@lavender_granny]

1979, twelve years old, i went to sleep every night to this song

[@mattparks2153]

I certainly agree with everything that you said. Excellent Reaction.

[@kimberleyphillips6671]

I'm in a Bobby Caldwell mood and ur reaction is great. Also, u rock that Dragonball Z shirt. 👍🤘

[@marcelajones8943]

I remember being in school and they released a Valentine version of this record and it was in a red, a heart shaped vinyl. Wish I still had it!

[@mattiehart8960]

❤I LOVE BOBBY ❤️

[@bryanCJC2105]

I was in high school when this song first came out. It wasn't until in the 2000s that I found out that this guy was white. I was shocked... talk about blue-eyed soul! This song is so smooth. I love it!

[@slappyslapstick4045]

I was in elementary school when it first came out and I found out right around the same time. Hell, we may have found out on the same day, lol.

[@bryanCJC2105]

@@slappyslapstick4045 Haha if it weren't for the Internet, I never would've known!

[@Teardehawkee]

This one hit me hard. Messing with black people's heads for 40+ years. I swear, this song messed up my hair, because of its Smoothness. RIP

[@sandramiller6752]

🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶💯

[@SAVUFILMS]

Not easy to pull off a face reveal after death. May he rest his Soul in peace true legend.

[@monkeybonetube]

Blue eyed soul at its very BEST .. So blessed that I got to see him LIVE 🙏 RIP Bobby🙏 So many amazing musician gone 😢 Imagine the Amazing concerts going on in Heaven😇

[@changlyn100]

Love this song!

[@terrylawrence8362]

Greg..you have a good voice ..hope you sing ..just found this Bobby Caldwell dude... great song smooth.. Love from New Zealand ✌️🙌💜💚

[@thewatchmen4920]

At the picnics, bar or just 🫕🥃🍻 with family

[@noahholliday9761]

Definitely, I think everyone who has been after the ladies hits on a special one after a while that your instincts just tell you this is my girl and the childish games just don't feel like they're as important. It took me until 33 and I married that one, and am still married 13 years later and couldn't imagine like without her. My time given to her caused a few brothers to stop reaching out, but I chose my family and they can go the way of my childhood friends that wandered off. No big loss, I got my wife and kids now and I don't run around at all, and don't miss a bit of it. Ride or die for life once we made that promise.

[@1skyofrog]

lol Some blue eyed soul.

[@JJDBaca]

See, back in the day when my black friends would clown me with "Vanilla Ice this and that", my argument would be... "but Bobby Caldwell", and we'd all laugh.

[@johnhardwick5406]

Bobby played all the instruments on this song just for your information.

[@terryconnelly484]

I imagine they purposely had him in a shadow at the beginning and the reaction of people who didn't think that he was white was amazing

[@RonD108]

Enjoyed your commentary.

[@Tsapary]

Love your energy bro!! God Bless you and keep the positive energy alive my man ❤️💯

[@johndashnaw-to8if]

You looked down like is my internet connection trippin...lol

[@lloydfrancis9149]

You see color has nothing to do with Soul😂 God has a sense of humor

[@camiamayo5093]

Great video

[@terristrange]

Some of us got soul. 😂

[@StarGeezerTim]

"Never thought it!" What, that he wears a hat? LOL

[@Texasgodzillakun]

I’m 27 now Bobby was 27 when he released this classic. I feel waaaaaaay older than 27 though I’ve been through the ringer when it comes to love. I’ve been cheated on, ghosted, abandoned, almost divorced (didn’t get married yet thank Jesus), and widowed my last girlfriend unfortunately died in a car wreck. I can’t get over it so at 27 probably against my girlfriend’s wishes for my happiness I’ve decided I’ll probably die alone never knowing another love quite like hers. I also found out later that she was pregnant with my child who also obviously passed and I think I’m done. I’ve been in a daze for the past 3 months working and sleeping like a robot my mother has had to take care of me or else I won’t eat. The people around me aren’t wrong I won’t eat unless someone makes me now which I guess is a blessing in disguise since I’m losing a good amount of weight for reference 3 months ago I was 500 pounds and at 6 foot 3 inches and even with legs built like tanks it is hard on my body. I’m now at 410-415 pounds I’ve lost almost two people worth of weight. I guess depression and mourning is my diet that works. Regardless of what’s going on in my world this reaction genuinely made me laugh 👍 good job

[@kbob9625]

Bro. Your shirt is dope.

[@johnmahecha429]

eso si es música

[@nickboseman5250]

As a white dude I cant help but love these reactions 😂 kills me everytime shout out to music for not knowing what color is

[@sophie28ism]

He passed away March 14th 2023.... unknown of his death...

[@jet07son]

😂 your reaction and you sayin , is this who sings this song ? 😂

[@matthewwalton1290]

Blue eyed brother

[@SansaryEtienne-bp5dn]

This dude look his skin😂😂😂😂😂

[@osanders22]

Listen to Eric Tagg and then see the picture.

[@josephgutierrez7617]

You know That White Boy puts Hot Sauce on His Chicken Wings

[@sb416]

😂😂😂

[@terryconnelly484]

Blue eyed soul ...as white people don't short us 😅

[@rodrigomoran5181]

I have a dragon ball z shirt same as the one you have on bro

[@rudybrito5471]

What's ups my guy, any way you can react to REN, HI REN, OR ILLEST OF OUR TIME, OR MONEY GAME, OR THE HUNGER, OR TALE OF JENNY AND SCREECH FULL TALE, OR GENESIS, POO LEASE PLEASE AT LEASED ONE BRO..

[@scrappypirate2268]

It's kind of shocking how shocked black reactor channels are over this. Like, yes, us white folk are capable of singing blues notes too. I don't think this should be such a revelation. This song is honestly a racism litmus test

[@Heikin-Ashi-Larry]

They just don’t make music like this anymore..

[@thunderstick8717]

That's why you don't assume shit?
