      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.

      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.

      The issue is black people don’t get the money 💴 their music generates like other ethnic groups, most of our black artist die broke. That’s what needs to be fixed .

    Don't judge a person by the color of their skin; judge them by the music residing in their heart; it is a love song.

      He did. I saw him in a jazz club in Seattle twice. Such a fantastically diverse crowd. I met him all by myself. We chatted, flirted a little and took photos. He was incredible. We love and miss you, Bobby.

    What a smooth, and beautifully arranged song, by Bobby Caldwell, and his band. This song brings back very pleasant memories when I was a teenager, when we use to jump from one block party to another, back in Queens. Every song that he wrote, was meaningful. This man wrote lyrics, that would make a man scratch his head with admiration, by his way of expression. Thank You, Bobby Caldwell, for keeping it smooth. We've definitely lost a Giant, "Physically", but his musical spirit and contribution to the world of music, will forever live on. Rest in beautiful peace, my musical King. You will damn sure be missed.
