That guitar riff is so catchy, i love that jam at the end. Everything about this video is perfect. I didn't know this existed until now. Rest in peace to the legend.
This is an insanely pure, free from studio polish, spontaneous yet tight version of an absolute classic - composed and played in a way that is of course long gone and never to come back- a real musicians gem!
I've seen a lot of great bands live, and most of the time live sounds subpar. It's ok it's live, not a studio. 1 second into this video and you know it's above the pack. The drummer is tight, everybody is on the one, nothing sounds louder than it should, tempo doesn't shift ... Organic miracle (or maybe it's just that nowadays sucks)
I'm a massive Prince fan as can be, still i have to rate this video the best video on the internet right now. As you said, everything about this video is perfect. It doesn't get any perfecter than this.
I’m only 42 wasn’t even born yet when this happened but my favorite music is from this time period when people were real musicians using real instruments
i know younger blacks that didn't know he was white until I told them. they would argue me down! Back in the day, Natalie Cole was like Mary J. Blige is today. And if you went to Natalie's concerts, Bobby would open for her and everyone at the concert would be looking at each other like wait what? LOL! But we loved him on in. He would run from the keyboard, then guitar....dude was very talented and had a strong voice and could harmonize like no other. Mind you, he wrote most of his hits and then others would cover the same hit and blow up! It was a string of Anglo brothers from another mother that we called "Blue Eyed Soul"...Micheal McDonald of the Doobie Brothers, Kenny Loggins, Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates, Boz Scaggs, Billy Joel, 3 Dog Night to name a few. We old folks know but the younger generation missed out on all that excellent music that helped create the genre now called Pop. He never had a picture on his albums as if blacks wouldn't love him in, just as we had with all the other Blue Eyed Soul peeps and basically anyone with a good sound and good vocals like Steely Dan or Chicago, Madonna, Timberlake, The Beastie Boys, lol and so on... By the 80's, Pop was getting pretty diverse and by the 90's Hip-hop took over using samples from many of these same Blue Eyed Soul hits. On a side note, there was a club music, post disco singer/dancer that blew up on the club scene in the 90's that always reminded me of Bobby Caldwell for some reason: Jamiroquai. Even though Bobby's vocals seem stronger, I don't know, why but one always reminded me of the other. Perhaps it was the soulfulness. ruclips.net/video/1hHSH9sJUEo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/vFZZV3iBsHw/видео.html
Bobby loved the way my brother and I danced. He used to play this at the club we were at. Nice guy. We really liked him. I used to hang out with his then girlfriend at the time. Talented man. Go with God, Bobby.
Although I didn’t start singing for Mr.Caldwell until ‘’94, Singing For Him Was The Best 19 Yrs Of Traveling To Japan and other places was one of the Best Times Of My Life!! Jean McClain
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.
Incredible. I just came across this today and I’m stunned. My band opened for Bobby that day on Miami Beach and we spoke for a while after the show. Such an inspiration and talent. He’s moved on but remembered always.
Truly devastated by his passing, he's the man that brought soul back in my life. This song always gives me goosebumps, his voice just goes around and hugs you with comfort as the lyrics become a blanket for your soul... Rest In Peace Bobby you'll be greatly missed
Do you...know everything that's been recorded in the last 10 years? Or do you just have a "music today sucks because my generation was better" kinda thing going on
@@JScarper I know music of all eras. There are good songs in the last ten years, but it's the weight of the garbage that makes people hate modern music so much. Sorry, but it's mostly an atrocity and also sadly dishonest, and slavishly hungry for attention and success. And that's not even covering the horror show of autotune and cricket hi hats and just overall shitbag production and utter lack of melody. It's not just one genre that has this problem either. Country is an abomination in regard to its past as much as hip hop is. (oh, sorry, trap, ZERO difference).
I'm 34, this world is $hit, I wish I was born this era. Nothing matters now. But I will live enough to see my daughters fullfill their life. Then I will go. Inmortalize your energy like Bobby people. F them all. RIP Bobby, thank you for this song.
If anyone under 30 ever asks what peak America was like show them this video. Beautiful people of all types without a care in the world besides enjoying the moment. RIP Bobby.
He hasn't been well for some time. It's unfortunate too because it's because of something that was done to him. I was real fortunate to be at his last concert and see first hand. COVID stopped his tour but the progressing illness seems to be the reason he was unable to restart. He will truly be missed.

It’s breaks my heart to knowing his spirit has left us… but it’s the rare individual who can leave a gift that will always bring Joy to the ❤of the listener. Thank you Bobby & thank you George for sharing a golden moment in time 🙏❤️ I was also 27 at this point in time. ✌️
I’m only 14 but this made me cry, I love listening to old music and this is just so beautiful... I’ve been listening to this song for a while and seeing this made me so happy. God bless him and everyone else seeing this!
You probably had a past life in that time period and your soul remembers what's up. Just like he and Tina Marie probably had a past life as melanin rich individuals.
I came from Cuba in 1978, escaped in a raft, and landed right in South Beach, I can still relive the moment when I saw those buildings from far away, freedom was so close and yet so far, still remember how people at the beach came to us and welcomed us. Now in my 60's every time I go fishing I tell my kids and they go: "We know Dad, you landed here...!!!!, You relly have to live in oppression in order to appreciate freedom....God bless America.
Well, I'm not one of them, Wanna know why ?, Because ever since I landed in that raft, all I've done is work, pay taxes when due and obey the law....Something would've been impossible to do in my homeland, Again: God bless America....!!!!!
Make sure to remind your children and grandchildren of that. Unfortunately, many of them are buying the "Progressive" rhetoric that put people like Castro in power. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it!
This was a FREE concert put on by radio station LOVE94, held on the beach at 81st St. Those of us that were there will tell you that it was a picture perfect day. Everybody was grooving. Nobody fighting. Miami Beach was a paradise in those days, now it’s just a beautiful toilet filled with human turds RIP Bobby and RIP Miami Beach.
Wow! This video is historic. I'm a 70's baby and I love this song. What a treat! His voice is beautiful, an amazing singer and great musician. Miami Beach looked like a cool place to be back then.. easy and care free.
That outro is a fender advertisement. Even with the older recording equipment, just listen to that tone!!! That's pure gold! What a time to have been alive. Bobby Caldwell. My kids will know his name.
I always come back to this performance, it just has such a warm soulful vibe - almost feels like you're just there on the beach hanging out with everyone else
He was only 27-28 years old here! Absolutely freaking amazing. His runs are SICK and look at him working that guitar. I might love this more than the recorded version. Like, got dayum, Bobby! Leave some of the ladies for the other band members! Sexy and killin it as f. Edit to add: I've been binge watching this all month. Hurts my heart to know he's left us. RIP legend.
Can you imagine just walkin' on the beach that day, hearin' this and goin' "Hey, that's pretty good....who is this guy?" We shoulda' all been so lucky!
You can't watch this video without getting totally engrossed in it. The groove, the feeling of watching this live on Miami Beach, Bobby's infectious smile and chill attitude. My favorite is the black girl who just can't keep herself from dancing! Watching her live that moment is just amazing! This video is truly a treasure I keep coming back to!
Somebody call the police… the vibes are criminal!
Yes this is Bobby Caldwell.....he was 27 here....I was at the show
Bob Gaffney lucky u
Thats cool!
Bob Gaffney
Sorry I thought he was black
Bob Gaffney so lucky u are😍😍😍
Wish I was there, sipping a nice cold beer tanning my Lilly whites xx
Spring 2024, and this 46 year old performance still makes the sun shine brighter…..
Such good memories...my parents still alive, etc...much better times than these days!
❤️🔥
Why do all concerts from the 70s and 80s sound so warm? It’s great
Jack STM it’s because they understood good sound back then and didn’t ruin the warm sound with harsh brightness like they do now
I think it’s more indicative of the technology used at the time
@@V12-e8b Digital sounds brighter because it records the source as it is. Tape automatically removed high end frequencies, resulting in that warm sound.
Analog. Thats why its warm sounding. Analog has a smooth sound wave. Digital does not .
Tube amps bro
The funk and that guitar riff at The end
Incredible filling
Yes… so great!
Alphonse Kettner!
my son was conceived on that beach during the show
Seriously? I am sure he would be glad to hear that.
airatak WOW I REMEMBER TIMES LIKE THAT AMAZING
I call bullshit. You weren't even born yet.
My son was conceived alone in my room while watching this video. I'm a guy.
I think I got a shot of that but the censors made me remove it.
I was born in 1978 and this song is still smooth as butter in 2024
It’s hard to believe that this song is over 40 years old. So classy 👏🏻
People on the beach: man where’s Bobby Caldwell? Isn’t he that black dude?
Bobby:I guess you wonder where I’ve been?
💀😂😁

Nah, hes white with an amazing talent.
Damn this was good enough to be the studio version hot damn almighty.
Cardell Jermaine straight facts! Even the drum fills were all in the same places during the vocals. It’s a studio-accurate rendition for sure
Cardell Jermaine the guitar solo should’ve made the cut!!
@@HardcoreNerdTheories yea fr maybe a fade out at the end of the studio song while hes playing the solo
This is way better than the studio. The sights and scene make this version even more exciting.
Rare are live performance as tight. Unbelievable
The most mis-managed artist in the history of pop music. This guy should have been as big as McDonald, Bryson, Jarreau, etc.
no kidding!!
Chuck Kirkpatrick he made his money writing songs
Indeed he did, but he should have been a much bigger star in the U.S. Henry Stone dropped the ball with this one...
I was thinking Exactly the same thing !
@@alansmith7626 He had a smooth sounding voice too! I thought he was black when I first heard this song? Did he ever make any more songs?
Bobby Caldwell may have died today, but because of this song, he will live forever. RIP to the 🐐
Not only singing it live but singing up one key (semitone). Mad respect. Rest in peace, Bobby.
Shredding too lawzy!
Respect to this man for bridging the gap, allowing people to expand their taste in music
He was a great guitarist too...💚🎸
3:20 this fooking guitar riff better than vai,bonamasa,metallica, megadeth,petruci,malmsteem ,john mayer,satriani,soad whole carreers
normal voice or video degradation you decide
That guitar riff is so catchy, i love that jam at the end. Everything about this video is perfect. I didn't know this existed until now. Rest in peace to the legend.
