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]

30 years* lol

[@michaelvitale1568]

August 15, 1951-March 15, 2023 R.I.P. to the sweet R&B/Jazz voice, gone after a 6+ year illness. Always loved this tune as it takes you right back to when it came out, but never gets old. Celebrate Bobby's life by just listening to his legacy through the years. Very underrated IMO.

[@cjordan1161]

Wonderful TRIBUTE.

[@pamalford8319]

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.

[@jamesmills3048]

New school wouldn't be here without the old school paving the way this hear is real music even in the now thx bobby

[@mickeyflowers]

in 4 more years, this song will be 50 years old. where did time go?

[@V4Now]

Seriously, who's ever idea was it to just jump out of the shadow like that is sheer genius! If it was Caldwell, he's beyond.🙌🏾 And he did every instrument!

[@nomorecheezmeh]

There was an article explaining that it was indeed his idea, he traced his silhouette in the bench.

[@PrettyBoyNasty]

No black. No white. 50 shades of brown. We came from the soil we die in the soil.

[@finnmacdiarmid3250]

Embrace differences, don’t bury them. It requires some naturally oriented morality but humanity is capable of being separate and equal but free. I don’t think we’re quite mature enough yet to appreciate the beauty behind the terms of liberty. But it’s a vision worth seeing.

[@gaylelucas6295]

Love that , I don't see colour it's what's within that counts its the colour of your heart and Soul that matters

[@alphaguz6759]

[@leahlockettharris4579]

Prince said everyone is shades of pink and brown.

[@JustJefferson]

Music truly comes from one’s Soul. Bobby’s style and groove transcends the boundaries applied by society. It kind of reminds me of Charlie Pride back in the day. White folks, even racist ones didn’t know Charlie was a Black man and it didn’t matter, he was special…. And so was Bobby Caldwell. What a gem.

[@Najain]

I love that song 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 2024 ! My first time watching this video

[@09miama]

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

[@JamesDeanRivera]

He died in his sleep too

[@dawnlee866]

Blue eyed soul can sing. RIP Bobby Caldwell❣️🙏🏾

[@roxannemiller6961]

No doubt it.

[@HardCold-Alquan]

That's all it means - whytes can actually sing. They still can't touch most blak Americans, except for the bottom rung.

[@83YETTABABY]

I'm 39 years old and always knew he was white as a kid. People act like we didn't have TVs back then. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Back then, we didn’t care about color. So it wasn't a big deal to us. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Just another great music artist ❤

[@Najain]

I never saw him . Today is my first time. I have 40

[@Msbellared]

Thank you we had the jukebox that later became the box and soul train and Friday night music video countdown on TV.. seen this video when it first come out it started in rotation and stayed there for about two years in 80-82.. and his face was on the cover of the single not the album that was later released

[@jillkelly1329]

I've loved this song for 40 plus years on the radio and never even thought once that this was a white guy singing.

[@Theranchhouse1]

The best writer and singer of songs that ever walked on the Earth.. Bobby didn’t write songs he birthed them with his DNA❤️ Rest in peace
