Bobby Caldwell Band perform "What You Won't Do For Love" - CBS Early Morning Show

[@TenaHales]

It's 2024 and I'm still listening and loving this song and this man with his soulful voice, He's truly missed.

[@bettyansani7512]

I'm 83 son once a rocker...and I'm mezberized by this song and artist RIP😢😮❤

[@susannamarie6358]

What a voice and a true gentleman. I was blessed to meet him and we spoke about his horses and all his and his beautiful wife's animals. He signed a CD of which I cherish each moment I spent conversing with him. RIP Sir. You are truly missed and ssnding huge hugs to his wife and family.❤

[@mariadefreitas3274]

I must make a comment here, my boyfriend was a DJ and he played every music in sight from Donna Summer to Michael Mc Donald, but I always loved this song by Mr Cadwell and in 1979 I heard it at a party and I never forgot it. Then I never heard it until this year August of 2023 when You tube posted it because Mr Cadwell had died in March. I am saying 44 years ago until now and it was emotional in 1979 and it's emotional in 2023. Be Blessed.

Cant get enough of this performance! Utterly heartbroken over the passing of such a gifted, talented soul. This song will forever transcend, age, generations and genres. Rest in Peace, Bobby.

RIP Bobby. Keep coming back to this outrageous live arrangement!

That is an epic arrangement! I'm in awe and transcribed this for my band. It has been awesome. ❤RIP the master Bobby Caldwell! 😢

[@jaaklucas1329]

No kidding. Masterful use of chord substitutions and voice leading. I guess when youve been tied to a song for so long you need to spice it up!

[@MichaelSeuss]

He is the originator! Definitely one of the best, underrated, and my personal favorite. Bobby will remain the executioner of excellence.

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

Truly! Underrated? Truly. With the mood he set here, I just wonder what the population growth has been since this release? Bobby, what on earth will you do for an encore? You can't possibly top this!!!!

Wow.Bobby's still sounding good after all of these years. This is a real recording artist. No fluff like so many of these fly by night singers of today need to take note and listen to a real artist. Love this song.

[@terrafirma91]

He has incredible stage presence, doesn't he? He's the type that makes every in the room feel that they've known him personally for years. A great voice that one never gets tired of. I like the way his backing vocalist (Jeannie?), moves. She's enjoying what she does. This particular song will probably always be the Bobby Caldwell composition we remember most.

[@Canadarago]

Wow! I love the way Bobby deconstructed the song and put it back together with gorgeous new chord changes and that great rising line in the backing vocals and keyboard. Symphonic! What a super class Act and a great loss.

[@jamesdelornhowlandjr.6516]

I met Bobby Caldwell in person in 2007 at Penns Landing in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

This shows a lot of thought and a lot seasoning. He performs like breathing-and the ascending lines at the end really heighten the power of the emotion and intensity--these lines are absent in early recordings--and have a New York voices kind of harmonic movement and chord voicing. Cool at the beginning---cookin' at the end. Shake and bake!!! Awesome.

[@jaybee7890]

this arrangement is incredible - a very psychedelic and space Roy Ayers Ubiiquity vibe. Proves that BC was more than just a singer.

[@eyesawit2]

I like this version. Kinda early Earth Wind and Fire-ish at the end (think "Can't Hide Love" by EWF". I can dig it when the original artist makes changes here and there. They perform hits soo often that they need to spice it up. This is the best "alternate" Vesion I've heard him do.

[@4tun1]

You're right!

[@GCCisco]

'What you Won't do for Love' is the definition of timeless. Superbly performed, it just makes me smile and reach for my Wife's hand. We can listen to this song performed by Mr. Caldwell 20 years from now and still feel that soulful vibe that reminds you how it feels to be in love for the first time. Just amazing. I want to catch his act in February in Florida.
