AQUI & AJAZZ, Bobby Caldwell "What You won't Do For Love".

[@Quis404]

Who else is here to show Bobby some love since he just passed?! 🙏🏾 #RIP

[@cavaliermama56]

I’m with you. 😢 RIP, Bobby.

[@Gultiere]

Anybody talking mess about race here should remember; a performer doesn’t pick their audience, the audience picks the performer. And I see PLENTY of brothers and sisters bumping this to this day.

[@reddragonn64]

Amen

[@SkammLykelee]

This song appeals to black audiences even more than it does white audiences. It's not about "talking mess about race", I consider it a positive when a white artist surprises black people. It breaks stereotypes just like Darius Rucker does in country music.

[@DrewJack-gx2wv]

This is a wicked tune & who better then a white man could sing & write better ❤

It's called soul! Some singers have it, and some don't.......Bobby's got it!

[@Laura-j4l]

OMG I was just going to say that, however I am not racist! Ok! Lol, I didn't know he looked like one of the beach boys! It wouldn't matter I love this artist❤

[@BF1GUN]

@@Laura-j4l It does not make you a racist to think that someone is of a certain colour based on their voice. You will find many videos and comments by black people who assumed the same. The problem nowadays is people are too frightened to make a comment where it involves a race that isn’t theirs for fear of being labelled racist!

[@clutchmanly1147]

I renominate him.

[@ineedhoez]

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

EPIC reply bro!

[@SkammLykelee]

There is no such award. "Best New Black R&B Artist of the Year". *SCAM LIKELY*

[@MrChristian]

Hahahaha! Is that true?

[@jasmineskydancer]

ABC reported that What You Won't Do for Love was sampled by over 100 artists! Mr. Caldwell got his professional break playing guitar in Little Richard's band in the early 70's went solo and wrote songs for Roberta Flack and Neil Diamond. He passed in his wife's arms...how sweet. Rest in Peace blue-eyed R&B maestro.

[@kelseyfrazier1266]

Jesus Christ! My Man Can SING!!!

[@zenersmytok3619]

I think that he is actually getting better with age.

[@helenallen3592]

'All men get better with age...

[@Ubu987]

You are right - his singing is actually better - I didn't expect that! His voice has better resonance and tone now. It is less flexible than a young singer's voice, but he has compensated with much more skill and nuance. Above all, his sense of Soul has deepened till it fills the stage and inspires the audience.

If it comes from the heart, its soul.

[@charlottemwagbe1360]

Actually we have a history of moving & smiling with singers/musicians that are not black. Let me mention a few: The Righteous Brothers, The Doobie Brothers, Michael McDonald, Hall & Oates, Tina Marie, Lisa Stansfield, Ambrosia (Biggest Part of Me), Average White Band (AWB), Boz Skaggs, Player (Baby Come Back), Michael Bolten... the list goes on and on. You see in the end, it really is about the music - I promise!

[@maxjetpack4824]

Music doesn't care what colour you are.

[@pussycowgirl5767]

Me to im trying to get the message to rock and roll Hall of Fame I recently befriended him and his wife in his last days two months ago when she told me he was very sick she and he texted me back to say thank you for your kindness I was so touch strangely enough I decided to check in on his condition on march 14 not knowing when I didn't receive a reply I was concerned so I went on the internet to pass time when I Saw his name in the search engine I knew something was wrong I couldn't believe that I actually reached out to him the day of his passing I am still mind boggled by that sorry about this long reply I spoke to her today and I said to her I would raise awareness to his passing due to floralaquinolone toxicity I'm still in deep sadness and depression he's been on my mind every day and night I'll probably never really get over it but him and his wife have beautiful spirits and Bobby Caldwell touch many of our lives rest in peace my friend

His singing is so wildly consistent through all the way to his unfortunate passing. If you listen to how he blasts through that falsetto run which is him adding a part and playing with the song, it's incredible. Like. Such a stunning talent that had amazing soul. I hope it's at rest now.
