I don't know whether to look at him because that makes me laugh just thinking about what the reviewer is going to do. I can play that part over and over.
😂 Miss. K Shavon, you crack me up, girl! I live very close to Bobby. He was a very nice human being as well as a musically gifted and talented man. He played at the local college, and he shopped around town. He loved being far from the limelight. He garnered no unwanted attention. Folks here respected his space.
Heyyyy guuurlll! Yes, Bobby Caldwell is one of the godfathers of blue eyed soul! My dad used to listen to him in the car on an eight track cassette and now I need some Geritol because I feel ancient😂😂😂
Hey Shavon from a loyal Subscriber! I grew up on this song. I laughed as another White guy who sang and played Sax professionally in the 80s and 90s. Love it. Sadly Bobby passed away in 2023z Love your reactions. Much love and support. Bruce 🎷🙏🏼🇺🇸
Soul is universal. I love it when younger Black people find out Bobby is White. Wait until you get to The Average White Band. All this music was accepted & loved by people of all races back in the day.
That’s because there was little racial division then. When I was a kid, we didn’t see each other in terms of color. My mom and dad socialized with everyone. I had black aunts and uncles and we called them that because we considered them family. And, by the way, I’m from southeast Alabama. I’m so sick of the stereotypes that all white people from the Deep South are white sheet wearing, cross burning, morons.
🤔…..GREAT reaction! He died absolutely unnecessarily - he had a slight infection and a cold, and the doctor prescribed him an antibiotic. That antibiotic crippled him to the point where he could no longer perform - after six years of suffering he finally died at the age of 71. There are a few RUclipss about his career and tragic death worth watching.
😂😂Thank you Ms Shavon for this reaction. That pause after seeing him and the pose with your hand under chin and lips purse is really you. Gotta love it looking real sexy. Good reaction. Many were fooled didn't know including myself. 😂😂😂Lol
He lived in Miami and his mom used to bring him to Bob Marley’s house. He loved soul and jazz music, and was influenced by thise genres. He wrote songs for Natalie Cole, Al Jarreau, Bob scaggs, Niel Diamond. The record label was in Hialeah, and also produced KC and the sunshine band. Bobby Caldwell gave us some great music.
I heard this song when I was in Japan. I was learning English back then and I had to do some research then so that I could sing along. As fate would have it, there was a karaoke version on laser disc. And there was bobby caldwell gracing the video in the karaoke video. At the time, I was ignorant about the whole race thing but I did have a weird thought that the voice didn't match his look.
Some beautiful blue eyed soul, we know where this song can take ya, lol. Was a shock to many and they wanted it that way. Thanx darlin', Muah 😘 😘 Peace
@@gonzoyork1908nah it was legit, Billboards Magazine nominated him for something like “New Black R&B Artist” in 1979, he was predicted to win the award before he mysteriously got taken off the nominees list And we later found out why he got taken off 🤣😭
Lol...i know Bobby still goin in the basket..lol...you crack me up again girlfriend! Shut up! Lol..he sings like a brother though dont he? Lol. Love your reaction as usual.❤
You are hilarious lol. White boys where you at lol. Rest in peace Bobby! Listen to his last performance. He was 71 and sounded the exact same. He wrote, next time I fall in love, with Peter cetera and Amy grant. Talented dude.
@@kshavon3098 when I had my son, who is severely disabled, all my supposed friends suddenly disappeared. In my loneliness, I turned to RUclips to entertain myself. Watching your reactions just brightens my day. You have such great energy and are incredibly funny!! Thank you for being you and thank you for bringing some levity to my life. You touch people's lives more than you know. God bless! ❤️
It cracks me up because when I was a little kid growing up in the 70s in Inglewood, California I knew Bobby, the Bee gees, Player and many other R&B hit groups were white.
I used to listen to this on the "Sunday night oldies" when I was a kid in the 90's. I was 38 years old when I found out he was white lol (I'm Latino/ "white passing") Such a beautiful, tender song.. no matter the color just a beautiful song.
Sweetie, it’s not just you. I’m 52 and heard it way back, I always assumed it was a black man singing. I only found out 2 years ago head white, I was just as shocked.
Young Lady i am 64 and i remember when this came out and i always thought he was Black. Until recently back then Black or white they had some soul in them. The 70's as far as i am concerned is one of the best.
I listen to a lot of Bill Withers (great!) and I've always thought of Bobby as someone with a similar style. I had the same surprise as you. Bobby is probably an interesting exception as a singer and I'm happy for his talent (RIP).
Tupac Shakur sampled this song in a single released posthumously. It was originally called ‘Sucka 4 Luv’. It was changed to “Do for Love”! Amazing to know that four additional Hip Hop artists sampler Bobby Caldwell. At the time both white folks and black folks were shocked to find out the song was performed by a white man.
If you like Bobby. You will love Tom Jones. I'm 65 year old white man and Tom is my number 1 singer. Tom will put you girl in a different place. I first seen Tom on his T V show I was 9 years old. I move the furniture in the front room and dance like he did. You'll see why he is my #1.

10 minutes of K Shavon and I'm good for 5 days straight!! Love you, Boo!!! Your Bud.... Brandon B
I LOVE THIS COMMENT AND ILY2 😘🙏🏾OOUU AND U LOOK GOOD😍
K Shavon, sadly we lost Bobby recently, March 14th, 2023. Your friend set you up. Most people never knew he was white, producers wanted it that way.
I didn't know he was white either until another reaction video, but this song was all over my childhood. Unfortunately Bobby passed away last year.
Goes to show that music is indeed universal.
Bobby Caldwell....RIP......the guy looks like an accountant and he's on fire.....keep the vids coming....never a dull moment watching you....hehe
THX BILL😘♥️
This man’s classic hit has blessed our family cookouts and family reunions
Old head here. This is my generations type of music. We had love for everybody! This is blue eyed soul and it's finest!😊
One of my favorite songs ever, and one of the best R&B tracks ever written, period!
I love to see reactions to this song. RIP Mr. Caldwell.❤
I don't know whether to look at him because that makes me laugh just thinking about what the reviewer is going to do. I can play that part over and over.
1978 I was 12 and this was on the radio alot and still play it on some stations still. Seems like in the seventies, everybody had more soul.
Oh yeah this was the pantie droppa right here 😊
Yea! I was 22 and just got married to the most awesome woman in the world! Love you Linda, see you soon!
Hahahahahahahaha! Your face was priceless. I knew what was coming.

😂😂BFF
I was in my fifties when I found out he was white, and I danced to this song in high school!
Proves soul has no color. I love the Earth, Wind, and Fire vibe on this.❤
RIP, brother!!
I absolutely love your reaction! This is one of my favorite songs!
THX REE😘
Hey Shavon from a loyal Subscriber! I grew up on this song. I laughed as another White guy who sang and played Sax professionally in the 80s and 90s. Love it. Sadly Bobby passed away in 2023z Love your reactions. Much love and support. Bruce 🎷🙏🏼🇺🇸
THANK BFF😘♥️♥️
When Bobby Caldwell would hear this song on the radio, even he thought it was a black dude.
Been waiting 😂 for this one!
RIP Bobby Caldwell. You will always have an open invite to the cookout.
I love seeing reactions when people think he's black and find out he's white! I was waiting for it!

I still ove them. I could listen to this song forever too.
I truly appreciate this request. Keep on doing what you do.

😂😂THX DEE
I found out after nearly 35 years 5 years ago that Bobby Caldwell wasn’t a Black artist. Like everyone else who didn’t know 😳😱🙀👀
You may have heard it in movies , but you know , you heard that at the cookout
That is funny my dear, because I am a white man, and I had no clue, and nobody told me he was white either. One Love!
😂😂
I so need this lady in my life! Can you imagine hanging out with her?! I bet it's the best time ever! ❤
THANK U TONYA😘😘

YES💯

Such a beautiful, tender song.. no matter the color just a beautiful song.
Indiana Jones got soul and swag!
Sweetie, it’s not just you. I’m 52 and heard it way back, I always assumed it was a black man singing. I only found out 2 years ago head white, I was just as shocked.
😂😂😂
The horns in this song too loved this one
More Blue-Eyed Soul for you, best friend.
"Love Will Find a Way" by Pablo Cruise.
😉♥️
Yup. I had that reaction too
😂😂
Goes to show you, color means nothing to the non ignorant...talent is appreciated where ever it come's from. Peace and love to you and yours always !
😘😘🙏🏾💯
This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many blue eyed soul singers. Good music ain't got no color!
A very versatile and talented artist, could sing or play any instrument.
This is the reaction that everyone had when Teena Marie’s first album Wild and Peaceful came out!!!
That look in her face when she finds out he's white! Priceless!!
😂😂I BELIEVE THAT WAS EVERYBODY LOOK
Young Lady i am 64 and i remember when this came out and i always thought he was Black. Until recently back then Black or white they had some soul in them. The 70's as far as i am concerned is one of the best.
They kept it such a close secret that he was white, that I believe Bobby was named best new black artist 1979!
DAMN😂
😂😂😂
My boy will sing you out ya draws that voice so smooth I told people he was white they didn't believe me
😂😂I WOULDNT BELIEVE U EITHER B
From his first album and arguably his best 👍
I listen to a lot of Bill Withers (great!) and I've always thought of Bobby as someone with a similar style. I had the same surprise as you. Bobby is probably an interesting exception as a singer and I'm happy for his talent (RIP).
❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥
White or black beautiful music is beautiful music
Tupac Shakur sampled this song in a single released posthumously. It was originally called ‘Sucka 4 Luv’. It was changed to “Do for Love”!
Amazing to know that four additional Hip Hop artists sampler Bobby Caldwell.
At the time both white folks and black folks were shocked to find out the song was performed by a white man.
YEA HE SURE DID! THX
"Blue Eyed Soul" FTW! All my black friends tell me "you've got some charcoal in your wood pile!" I just love good music!
If you like Bobby. You will love Tom Jones. I'm 65 year old white man and Tom is my number 1 singer. Tom will put you girl in a different place. I first seen Tom on his T V show I was 9 years old. I move the furniture in the front room and dance like he did. You'll see why he is my #1.
OK BET♥️

Ik you from New Orleans
LOL NOPE NEVER BEEN. ALABAMA
One of the BEST Soul songs ever!!!! ❤❤❤ Am I the only one who knew he was white when the song came out? 😂
UM YEA 😂😂
❤😊
Yeah, this was the jam mid 70’s. We didn’t care if they were white or black, we just enjoyed good music.
White ... Black ... I don't care ... this song with his vocals just hits the right spot for everyone who hears it ... and that's what counts.
I swear, this video's main purpose is pranking black people.
🤣🤣🤣💯
