Accidental Demise - The Bobby Caldwell Story (Blue Eyed Soul R&B) 

Before robin Thicke and the rest, bobby Caldwell was one of the artists that opened the doors for most of the white r&b artists

What You Won't Do for Love is a timeless classic song

Boz Scaggs is another blue eyed soul artist who should be checked out. “Lowdown” is one of his best known songs that people thought a black person sang.

RIP Bobby Caldwell, your music lives on 🥺😞💔🕊️

He along with Tina Marie were incredible blue eyed R&B singers. Soley missed. Rest in peace, god bless Jesus Christ. 🕊️✝️

They give Bobby the wrong medicine hell no💔😢🙏🏽🕊 i pray his wife get justice from Hospital or clinic dammm bobby we love you forever

RIP. He was one of my favorites! What You Won’t Do For Love is one of my favorite albums. It just has this magical loving quality that makes you feel nostalgic, even if you weren’t born in the 70s. Bobby didn’t use black culture for personal gain, he respected the craft and gave back to Soul and Funk.

He was also awarded a black new comer award back in 1979 no one had seen his photograph. He was close friends with Natalie Cole

Best album I've found so far: Perfect Island Nights, every song is a winner in Bobby's distinctive style.

I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS CAUCASIAN. I THOUGHT IT WAS SO COOL WHEN MONTEL JORDAN PERFORMED "DO FOR LOVE" ON "NEW YORK UNDERCOVER"

R.I.P. Bobby Caldwell

Rest in peace to Bobby Caldwell

I'm a Music JUNKIE,and all I can say is BUY his Albums. His Shit is ICONIC,and his music, arrangements, and Melodies will have you JONZIN'! I Guarantee you. P.S. I miss him like CRAZY Man.

Thank you Father God for giving talent to your children of All colors.❤

At this point I literally say along with you, "they need a movie or a documentary about them.." 😂😂😂 CU wants everyone to get their flowers and I love it! This is such a sad story and as someone who has had allergies to alot of medications (antibiotics too) I'm definitely going to be more aware from now on.. I hate he had to suffer at the end of his life for so long but I pray he's in the heavens serenading them with his beautiful gift... Rest in peace... Job well done. ❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Bobby Caldwell, Michael McDonald, Michael Bolton, Dusty Springfield, Lisa Stansfield, Teena Marie, Harry Casey, Steve Winwood, Taylor Dayne makes up the genre for blue eyed soul.

I thought Bobby Caldwell was a brotha singing “What you won’t do for Love” Thanx CU for bringing the knowledge💯 RIP 🕊️ Bobby Caldwell

I just found out he was white like 3 years ago. Sad to hear that he passed. Made a REAL ALL TIME CLASSIC. 💯❤. That track will keep being sampled forever🎷🙏🏾🙏🏾GBNF

I didn't even know he JUST passed away. "What You Won't Do For Love" is my JAM! Tupac's remake is a banger too! RIP Bobby Caldwell.

I just had to pull over for this one! That's how addicted I am to this channel! Thanks for this new episode & RIP Bobby Caldwell! 🕊🕊🕊

Thank you for this. Since his passing, I have been watching all of his concert footage. Man his shows were excellent and he had some outstanding musicians backing him up. He was a wonderful crooner

I didnt know he died from antibiotics. I've taken that b4 for a bad UTI. RIP Bobby Caldwell. I love your videos. Thank you

“My Flame” is still🔥 The ending is beyond sad. This man was in so much pain all over a doctor who gave him the wrong meds.

I didn't know anyone whom I hung out with that didn't like Bobby Caldwell's music. Everyone in the neighborhood was playing his stuff. Sad he's gone, he will be missed.

A lot of rap songs would not exist if it wasn't for this man.

I grew up on this song. I was so sad to hear about his passing. I would catch him performing in the late 90s and early 2000s at a lot of smooth jazz festivals. 😢 R.I.P Bobby Caldwell.

And Lisa Stansfield

As young as I am, I discovered him 2018 because of my parents...he produced amazing amazing music🔥🔥🔥

That whole song is a vibe those horns are the icing on the cake ❤

I remember the dr. put my mom on antibiotics. When she was taking the meds, she started feeling more fatigued, experiencing vertigo, frequent nose bleeds, daily chills, and her blood pressure was getting lower and lower. Needless to say the doctor had prescribed the wrong medication!!...This is just another reason I don't trust doctors. I feel a Tina Turner story is next 😢

Kudos to his WIFE! Blue Eye Genius Rest In Paradise. Can't help but notice the gold 🔺 on his coat in the last picture as well as the 6 yrs 2 months of pain made public his wife. 6×2= 12 1+2 =3.....smh. Great work Ty❤❤❤

The definition of blue eyed soul. What you won't do is my song. May he rest in peace can you do Tina Turner since she's passed on

Thank you for covering his story....RIP🙏🏽🕊

Oh the scream I let out. Love this man's music.

I wrote Bobby a letter and his wife Mary responded and then corresponded with me and told me about Bobby being "Floxxed". He was a very gifted guy and was just a pure talent. It was heart breaking. Dude didnt have a mean or nasty bone in his body...

Respect In Peace To The Legendary Mr. Bobby Caldwell.

Yesss Tnx much for this dude had such a smooth voice may he RIP🙏🏾🙏🏾

I saw Bobby perform in 2017 at a jazz club in LA and he was definitely in a lot of pain and you could tell. Didn’t stop him from putting on a great show, such a talented person. RIP

I am shocked and saddened to hear this for the first time! he was one of my favorites! I'm from Cleveland and I saw he, and Natalie Cole there. I accidently walked in on a warm-up rehearsel at the old "Front Row Theater" I thought someone was playing his tune "What You won't do for love" on the intercom, but it was really he and his group, It sounded so much like the CD I was amazed! They never stopped singing even through my interruption, I told my sister who was there at the show with me, it was a meet and greet with the artist show, which at the time Boney James was his sax man before he left the group. That was a great show! but i've always known that Bobby was White, which was no big deal to me! R.I.P Bobby, won't be forgotten!

Great story on Bobby Caldwell

My brother introduced me to Boz Scaggs and I always thought he was white because he reminded me of Boz Scaggs. Then to hear you say he and Boz were label mates sealed the deal for me. RIP Bobby Caldwell ❤️❤️🥰🥰

Can you do Tina Turner story dying of music Little Richard David Ruffin & Eddie Kendricks Temptations

Boz Scaggs is who I believe you meant. Damn, it's sad how Bobby went out. Talented way beyond the WYWDFL song. Always thought he was a black male singer as well. Thanks for another good one, CU!

A very sad ending for someone who brought so much joy into this world. No more pain. Rest In Peace. Your voice and music will live on in the hearts of those listened and heard.

Bobby was extremely Talented. And i can't believe hes long Gone R.I.P to him.

Ty for covering Bobby. I loved him forever.

His song will never, ever get old. RIP

Rip Beautiful Talented King Bobby. We Will Never Forget Your Beautiful Singing Voice ❤. My Son Tyrone Loves Your Song What You Won't Do For Love ❤ Thank You ❤

I cant believe how he died. just terrible 😕 RIP Bobby ❤

Never Give Up is my track for that 80s nostalgic sound but great vocals.

RIP Mr.Caldwell ❤️🙏🏾❤️

Great commentary on this brother. I loved Bobby Caldwell. RIP and thank you for this bio!

First thing first.. Rip Tina Turner💯💯💯😥. Happy Heavenly Bday Heavy D! And last but not least. What's up CU family???

The first time I heard the song "What you won't do for love" it awoke something in my soul. I was raised by a baby boomer that loved music, no matter what genre it was, what year the debut, I listened to it growing up. From The Jubalaires, Nat King Cole, Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, Boston, George Benson, Bill Withers, Al Green, and then to any and all other genres. Bobby hit me deep down and it hurts to hear his music and think of how his end came.

Can't wait for more of Accidential Demise stories

Rip Bobby Caldwell and Tina Turner🙏🏾🙏🏾

Another classic my brother...

Montell Jordan performed Bobby Caldwell's What You Won't Do for Love on New York Undercover season 1 episode 26 Catman Comes Back

I love Bobby Caldwell. I knew he was white, but definitely, What You Won't Do for Love was my favorite. What I did not know was how he died. Thank you so much for telling his story.🙏🏽💖

Another one ☝️ thank you I get so happy when I see that you drop another documentary

I've taken that a few times thank God I've never had any side effects but I'm not taking it any more thanks for posting this video 👍🏾🙏🏽🌹

I was so surprised when I found out he was white😂

Do Tina Turner story please she died today 🌹🌹🌹🌸🌸😭😭😭😇😇😇🙏🏼🙏🏼💔💔💔👍👍

Keep up the great work I love it here ❤❤❤❤🎉

That picture for the album cover was infact a picture of Bobby... He got the pic transformed like that. 💯🥃

Thank you for telling Bobby's story. What an amazing career he had. When he died, all I can remember him by was his song "What You Won't Do For Love". Like many others I too was shocked by the fact that he was white. But even still he made some really good music and for that, I thank him for his contributions to the industry.

I remember hearing the song What you won"t do for love!! I was 10 years old and fell in love with it! I saw him years later and he was white! It didn't matter! He had a lot of hits! He was soft spoken, talented, and sexy! He was just a phenomenon! Very intelligent! Yes, lots of artist sampled his work!! That comes to show the love he got! I was so sorry to hear how he passed away! I heard his wife talk about the sad way he dealt with his illness! She mentioned how romantic he was! A great man! She teared up on all the love Bobby received from his peers and everyone!! Those antibiotics can be dangerous! I work in healthcare! There's lots of side effects to a lot of them! Do your research and ask your doctor or pharmacist about the side effects! I'm sorry he went out like that!!! He will be missed!! Thanks for your content! I love it! 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

He was so amazing rip

WOW!!! I never knew that and I always do my own research on those medicine's

Nice video thank you again Rip Bobby C

Man you come with good ones every time. Shout out to you @celebrity underrated

🕊️🙏🏾😔🌹🩶🩶🩶 Rest Easy, Bobby I love all of his songs's. I hate to hear the way he passed away. My condolences to his widow. Thank you so much CU for telling us Bobby's bio. My favorite storyteller forever. I pray that my CU family and CU are staying safe and healthy. Do Tina Turner (Sleep In Paradise)🕊️🌹🩶CU.

Love mr Bobby Caldwell music it's popping for sure really can sing for sure and he be miss for sure indeed Mr Bobby Caldwell ❤️❤️ May your soul be in peace 🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️

Sleep in peace legend. Thank you for all your amazing videos.

OMG, I’m watching this and totally immersed into the story. I’m relating to a white sounding like a black man. I once sang Barry Whites, Can’t get enough and afterwards a black couple told me I aught to change my name to Barely White😅 That’s a hell of a great compliment. As the story goes on, I’m freaking because the part about his Achilles tendon sounds identical to my current issue. Additionally the pain in my fingers and the difficulty that presents sometimes even holding a mic. I’m careful to avoid things that irritate those health problems. I have good days and bad days. Thank you for bringing his story to us. As for me, I’ll look into those medications and see if I’ve used them. Ironically I came here because I needed to know more about Bobby and What you won’t do for love, before I sing it. I almost feel that Bobby passed the relay baton to me and all that heard his message to ask ourselves the question about what we’re willing to do for love?

First to comment. You did a great job on telling this story about this wonderful soulful icon. He was definitely one of the greatest! R.I.P. Mr. Bobby Caldwell. Rest easy, brotha.

Johnny Guitar Watson story

I went to his show in Miami in 1980. Wild Cherry was his back up band. Bobby kept walking past me and I completely ignored him because I was drunk, lol. I loved his music and wish I could do that night over again.

The industry kept bobby caldwell's race hidden but he sounded black.

Betty Wright

Thank you for doing this story ❤

Rest in music Mr. Caldwell. Your music will live on through my playlist.

This was SO good! You did a great job on his story! You, along with his wife, should write that book and spearhead a movie about his life. That would be phenomenal!

Otis Redding story
