I was 15 back in 78 when this song hit. We couldn´t believe such a soulful voice was coming from a white cat. It told us that anybody could have soul. This song became probably my favorite r&b song ever. Still love it, still as fresh 36 years later.
LeRoy Tate It's hard to sing that way for quite a long time and Bobby's singing here is exceptional. It's like I was sent back to the 1970s. And yes, I perfectly agree with you on this one.
@@bballerforever I agree. I remember when I was 8 years old, this was my favorite song. I didn't he even know he passed away until today. Sleep peacefully Bobby. We all still love you.
short inserts of slang will do that to you in music. He repeatedly say, "Got a thing for you" in the song. and you not have ever thought of a white guy saying that.
Only a genius like Bobby Caldwell could take his own best song to another level. I definitely love the original version but damn, this refreshed arrangement is mind blowing !
In Loving Memory of my cousin Steve Eidson who past away April 6,2020. Steve played with the famous Bobby Caldwell and he was a remarkably gifted and talented musician. He taught himself to play the Hammond B3 organ in High School because he was inspired by the great Mose Alison. He entertained all of us who knew and loved him. Rest in Peace Cousin Eidson, you're finally home. Hope my Dad was there to greet you when you arrived.
@@trapkoala8901 oh I am so sorry for your family's loss and for of all of us fans. This year has been brutal. God bless and know he is always with you.
I was pregnant with my first child in 1979 and had insomnia all through my 8th month. But as soon as this song would come on the radio late at night, it lulled me into the most peaceful sleep, and I can't hear it now without thinking of my firstborn and only girl. This man's voice. What a loss to the world when he passed.
Bobby Caldwell!’s passing is such a shocked . He passed away at the age of 71. Bobby’s vocals are so smooth and sexy on this track , it makes you want to play it over and over again. This song is still part of my DJ music collection . R.I.P. Bobby Caldwell
RIP to the Legendary Bobby Caldwell 🕊️❤️❤️🙏🏻🥺 We will never forget that majestic voice that broke barriers and was preserved so well all those years!! ❤️❤️
One of the best things I've done lately is to purchase a you tube subscription with zero ads. I put it on music and let it run with headphones while l do chores. Then I run across gems like this! Damn, this is sweet!
I was born in 88 .. my father played this song daily until his passing and I Always thought it was a Motown artist or what not. But to me it's beautiful he has a beautiful voice I've been listening to it since i was a lil girl
At 24, I was attending the University of Miami and loved this song so much! Wished I'd seen him in concert when I lived down there. I also remember the song Coming Down from Love, which was also on the radio a lot at the time. Such memories! God bless his soul. xo
Bobby's performance here in 2008 tells you all you need to know and hear. A master at work, supported by his band to perfection. RIEP Mr Caldwell. Thank you for the music.
“Well I’m in a daze, from your love you see. I came back to let you know, gotta thing for you and I can’t let go…” Some of the best lyrics ever written. Rest in peace Bobby Caldwell.
RIP Bobby Caldwell! I will always remember your soulful voice. In my opinion, you had a voice that no one has been able to duplicate. "What You Won't Do for Love" is a classic!! RIP
I was 19 in 1979 and I can still feel the chills listening to this beautiful song, still listening to bobby Caldwell, God bless you. R I.P love u.!!!!!
I echo the sentiments of those who feel a deep sense of loss in his passing. Many of my childhood memories are linked to the release of this song. It's strange but I feel as if I lost a relative and/or a piece of my childhood. So I'm glad to know that I am not alone. I will never hear him sing this song live but these videos give me what I will never have in this life. Rest in paradise Mr. Caldwell. 💔
Rest in peace , Bobby Caldwell. I’m forever grateful for your music especially this song, it easily became my favorite and till now I’ve never heard anything come as close to this beautiful piece of music. Thank you 🤍
Wow, Wow, Wow! The saxaphonist was incredible. 1979 was a great year. I was surrounded by love. Bobby Caldwell's legend will live on forever. Condolences to the family.
Wow. This is incredible. I wish I could be here live. The reharmonization is sublime, and all the performers did amazing. The sax solo was fire! Bobby is a great man and an amazing singer and personality.
I was 17 back in 78 when this song came out. I loved it then and it’s only gotten better with time. Bobby in this live performance still sounding great after so many years. It’s all about taking care of that voice and Bobby seem to have done just that. So much great music and artists from that era. I feel so blessed to have been there to enjoy it in real time. Peace out.✌️
Who were you loving? Who was breaking your heart? Love that. Hard to get enough of this song. It truly is the best of the best. Whatever you were doing at the time, you dropped it. True hero.
Never knew he’s the singer behind this wonderful song. It’s one of my favorites. The voice, the lyrics, the melody and the instrumentation mixed excellently. You maybe gone Bobby Caldwell but not your music.
In 1979, I was a freshman in high school thinking; "that guy's album has gotta be some real hot stuff, because the single is soooooo cool." It was decades before I found out. Better late than never. Sorry I tuned in so late Mr. C. RIP.
Saw Bobby two times at the Hyatt Newporter Jazz Series. This was the song to close the show. Always a great time! Thank you, Bobby. Rock in peace......
Rest In Peace musical legend Bobby Caldwell 1951-2023 ❤

Yes, he is and looking like Elton John too!
Its criminal the way he's handling that sax! I've listened to this 20 times back to back just because of the saxophone!!!
His name is Patrick Lamb, he plays in Gino Vannelli 's band.
Yo he took good care of his voice through the years...
Sure did!!!

To prawda. Jego głos nadal sam .

What a beautiful song. just takes me back to 79. the good old days.

Facts and still have the energy to perform this live decades later and special shoutout to the person on the saxophone.
Alt. changes are very hip
His voice has matured a lot also, makes the song as good as new
Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking.
