Who watch this video 2024?

The Black delegation accepts this mans application and we will trade Kanye

Sax guy absolutely crushed it… ✊🏾

for a long time I thought Bobby was black

Bobby Caldwell was baptized in shea butter and coconut oil

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!

still listening in 2024... the muscians crushed it.... Rest in peace Bobby Caldwell

I died when he hit the dip at 39sec yo.

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.

He still had a voice here. Rest In Peace Bobby. This song is a timeless classic.

Rest in Peace Bobby! One of the greatest songs I’ve heard

Man, his voice hasn't changed at all!!!

When he hit that dip tho 😂😂

In 1979 I was 24 and I remember and loved this song Now I am 68 rest in peace Bobby

RIP Bobby, this song will forever be iconic.

Hey y'all! It's 2021, who's still watching this? Congrats to you friend!

Dat dip is when his alter ego kicked in😂

The ONLY White man that NEVER needed an invite to the cookout!!! ❤️ Gone but NEVER forgotten!!! ❤️❤️❤️

my favorite black artist of all time

Yo he took good care of his voice through the years...

Man he is tearing that sax UP!!!!

2024. I am 39. Heard this song couple days ago for the first time. And fall in love with it❤

one of those rare songs that NEVER gets old!!!

ain't many white dudes that can get away with that

Who watch this video in 2020?

RIP to the Legendary Bobby Caldwell 🕊️❤️❤️🙏🏻🥺 We will never forget that majestic voice that broke barriers and was preserved so well all those years!! ❤️❤️

Dude on the Sax is really try'in to get paid!

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 !

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

I am 23 years old, randomly found this song on Apple music about 5 years ago and loved it instantly. Have listened to it pretty much every day since, sad to see this legend go. This all time classic broke racial barriers and generational barriers. It will forever live on Rip Bobby

But the lady jammin at 3:46 is me! 😂

I need this wig. That dip move at 0:39 was G-A-N-G-S-T-A

The saxophonist is phenominal as well!!

Wow, it's just magic, so wonderful music & Bobby was and incredible voice. Goodbye Master we'll never forget your work and talent.

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.

Damn. Forty years have gone by and this man still sounds amazing. Go, Bobby, go!

The Larry bird of RnB

I had no idea that man was white, Bobby had Bobby had Bobby had Soul! RIP

He invited to all the barbecues

The voice is still there, but the wig ... oh Bobby.

If “never judge a book by its cover” was a person lol I love this song. He still got it. 😍

This song has been the soundtrack of my life, RIP Bobby Caldwell

The sax player’s tone quality is phenomenal, but still has this delicious edge to it.

0:39 man hit the shmoney dip before Bobby who here in 2019???

Legend 1951-2023 ❤

I got married in 1979, and I'm still married 2021

Im sorry this song is so much better than any song that's been released in the last 20 years

Bobby Caldwell is one of the most underrated song writers in the past several decades

“The same things that make us laugh make us cry” -Big Smoke

Singer and songwriter Bobby Caldwell, the man behind the 1978 platinum hit "What You Won't Do For Love," has died on March 15, 2023 at age 71, his wife Mary confirmed to CBS News on Wednesday. He was a world class songwriter who also happened to possess the kind of mellifluous voice that made him soul music royalty. Today we say a sad goodbye to legendary singer and songwriter Bobby Caldwell, a four decade star best known for his now-iconic hit "What You Won't Do For Love."

only Bobby could recruit Elton John to make a cameo appearance in his band.

That dip made me feel it automatically 😂‼

Listening to this in 2022...❤️

カッコいい曲でした🎵ご冥福を申し上げます。

Welp I guess it's true Africa really does have the most diverse genetics

Buddy with the saxophone went tf off!!! 🎷🎷🎷💖💖💖💖

Just a heads up but that saxophonist is absolutely doing work in 2022.

Bro, Patton Oswalt is smashing that sax 🎷

I could imagine him in heaven jamming with the legends. Rest in peace Mr. Caldwell! That dip 0:39 is still iconic!

Was born that year, yet here I’m 46 years later loving this song. RIP Bobby ♥️

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

R.I.P. Bobby.

See you on the other side Mr. Caldwell. We are losing all the greats too damn quick.

Bobby Caldwell is in the Top Ten list of soulful white men who have great songs that many didn’t know it wasn’t a black man singing it.

Mr Caldwell is wrong; it was not 1979, it was 1978. This song saved my life. i was living in the ghetto with my mom and siblings. and contrary to popular belief, ghetto life was wonderful. the only danger i faced came from the inside: i started my period that year and my mother's jobless boyfriend decided he wanted my soul. this song was so important as it helped me to escape and keep dreaming of a different life and my own place. i was changed and sad and felt really dirty on the inside all the time but evil did not defeat me, thanks to Mr Caldwell and others on the radio.

Joey souls sang “what you won’t do for love” beautifully

I was born in 1990. Im 31 years old, I love this beautiful song.. specially when I'm driving on a rainy evening. Also I like it in Saxophone version..

I saw Bobby in San Diego about a month ago. He definitely still has it

RIP Bobby Caldwell what a soulful voice. Everybody experience what that song is about. God speed.

What a great cat. RIP Bobby Caldwell.

I was 11 yrs old, in the sixth grade and head over heals in love. 😊

I'm not sure why no one is commenting on one the most amazing saxophone solos I have ever heard!! That musician is an artist!!

The blackest white singer every. Such an amazing amount soul he has

RIP Bobby. Always had a invitation to the cookout

I am French, white and a great lover of soul, neosoul, rnb. When I was 20, I first experienced the Tupac cover. And some time later I came across this gentleman! I'm impressed, this song is timeless!! What a pleasure to listen to it again and again! Respect to this gentleman

He's a brotha .. Too much soul .. Soul Overload !!

"...You tried every dog gone thing but you won't give up.." - You got that right bobby

My my is right, “he is tearing up that sax”..

Guess I'm showing my age... was spinning this record at a NY radio station in 1979..Watched it climb to #1. Go Bobby,, still got it.

0:39 for the best dip transition.
