Amen !! I know I was shocked when I saw Bobby Caldwell "s debut on American Bandstand. Great voice. Perfect example of " Blue eyed Soul. " Still has the soulful voice to this day. Love Bobby Caldwell.
I first found out Bobby Caldwell was white, was when BET did a tribute to the white soul brothers. Y'all when I tell you I was SHOOK! 😂😂Just shows you soul really has no color.
His name alone sounds like a cool as old black dude that pushes a ‘76 vintage Cadillac with the diamond in the back and jumps out his ride with a fresh pair of Stacy Adams and a crispy creased shorts set 😂
This is wonderful to see a person of a different persuasion sounding so naturally soulful. Why can't we get along with one another. We all have gifts to share with one another. Thank you Bobby C.

He was a smooth guy I love. His music what you won’t do,I remember when that song came out I fell in love with it we were around the same age I’am I’am 1950,he is1951 I love him he will be missed RIPBobby❤
@@SCALES1992 MAYBE YOUR HISTORY SAYS THAT BUT MINES DOESN'T.SOUL IS SOUL NO MATTER IF YOU BLACK OR WHITE OR ANY OTHER RACE.IF YOU'VE GOT IT,YOU'VE GOT IT.GOD BLESS AND HAPPY SUNDAY.
Oh my gosh. My jaw drops every time I see this. All the years I heard this song and didnt know he was white. Even his name is black..🤣🤣🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🙌🏾🙌🏾❤❤
I truly thought this Man was a true bonofide brotha when I kept hearing this song in either radio or supermarket isles! Crazy now seeing this video how my mind has deceived me all them decades back!
He signed with TK Records in Miami. In 1978, after songs for his first album were recorded, executives told him 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 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 most were surprised that he turned out to be white.[2][3]
The definition of blue eyed soul. Idk why anyone would take offense to that. I'm white and I def thought this man was black. He has a soulful voice what a timeless song. That melody at the end...get chills everytime. Sing it Bobby enjoy the countless cookouts you def gonna be invited to by many shook ones all over
I thought for years a black older man with a shaped 70s mid height fro sung this. I picked my face up when I first found out he was white. I'm talking about SHOOK🗣
My head is wrecked. I think I have to call out of work for a couple of days.. I think of my uncle singing, now I can't unsee a white man singing my uncle favorite song.. I don't know what to do with my life anymore. Wow God got me good with this one
I feel like I've been cheated on, swindled, bamboozled, maybe my mother isn't my mother?????because she never told me that this Man BC was White. straight soulfood, smooth like butter on a biscuit, Crisco fried chicken my life has changed on this day 4/26/19
Wait a damn minute... y'all mean to tell me I've been lied to my whole 36 years of life.. the man who sings this song wasn't born with Coconut oil and Shea butter???? 😲😲😲WOW

My 12 year old son,sings this in the shower every night.So i thought I'd let him see and know the fantastic voice of Bobby Caldwell..His reaction,OH WOW!!!THANX MOMMY..(my reaction😊)didn't think he knew such old songs.(he's an old soul no doubt).Thanx Bobby..
Damn! I'm starting to question my whole damn life. Though I'd never seen him, I never once thought or even imagined that he could be anything other than a black man. That's what's so great about music though. Makes me feel like a judge on The Voice. I turn my chair and I'm like" who's hiding behind you?" That wasn't really you was it? Shut the Front Door!!!! Lol. Great song
Gerald, I know what you mean. I just saw KevOnStage's video and my mind is just as blown as yours. I too had just assumed he was a black man. Everyone I know did. Seriously I saw Kev's video an hour ago and I am still still sitting here going "holy crap, I know nothing about anything now". I also alway though it was a George Benson song for some reason.
People are so narrow minded these days. So , other races can't have soulful voices ??? Please get out of your cocoon and listen to the music from other countries. Your head will explode .
Amazing song, amazing singer. This song has not aged in four decades. I also respect how it's brought together so many people of different races. We can all agree - this is a classic.
I'm just saying y'all out here clowning on wonderbread but you know damn well white boy was clapping hella brown cheeks off this song. Somebody grandma gave it up to blue eyed soul 😏😂💀
We're not hating. Still love him. The man sound black. Until Kev on stage just told me I ain't know he was white. I'm 39 and I know that man was white. Mind blown. Like when I found out the man who sings Drift Away is black. Smh
Me lol ... cause this is one of my jams and all, these year I thought the dam man was black...where are the people that’s making this kind of music ... heeelllpppp.
Certain white people were built differently back then : Jon b., Teena Marie , Bobby caldwell, Simply red, hall and Oates, K.C. and the sunshine band, Lisa Stansfield , Michael McDonald , all sound soulful on a few songs .. but for nowadays it’s probably one or none smh
ALL those people you mentioned GREW up listening to Black Music in a time of deep SEGREGATION.... when WHITE people were ostracized for admiring black culture.... it meant more to people like Teena, Bobby, Michael, because they put their lives on the line to do black music EVEN when it didnt seem so to the public.

I’m white and 53 and love this song. Some white people were just born with soul! I have some soul being from Memphis and a musician. Just goes to show you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover!! I didn’t know though! Love it! Happy New Year 2019!!
Not gonna lie when I first heard this song I thought he was black, not that it matters music has no colorlines and neither do I, but the man sure does have SOOOOUUUUL BABY!
tokunaga432 music have no color lines? True but every civilization of folk have music to identify their culture and folk. If I want to hear Caribbean music, I'm not gonna want to hear it from somebody that's from Scotland.
Keep it real...How many people thought Bobby C. was a black dude when you first heard this song?
I surely did...i was shocked
I did too! Lol
Just like Lisa Stansfield...
I don't care what anyone says....He is BLACK.
not only was Bobby C. white but he was a long-haired rock musician for most of his career. As you can hear...the man had soul!
