"Black people that didn't know Bobby Caldwell was white (reaction)" is one of my favorite sub-genres of RU-vid. The sudden realization, slow acceptance, sentimental reflection, and eventual appreciation is always entertaining.

@saturnsabyss 4 месяца назад

I love them too but I always doubted the legitimacy of some of the reactions since the music video thumbnail has him in it. Unless they were directly linked the song by someone else, which would bypass the thumbnail in most cases.

@chrisv966 Год назад

There's video of him at a BET awards performing this song w/ saxophonist Dave Koz. He's introduced, and as he walks on stage there's a bit of a hush, then he started singing, everyone reacted, and then they started singing along. I'm sure that's the first time a lot of the audience had seen what Bobby Caldwell looks like. The label hid how he looked because they were worried that the record wouldn't sell because he was white. Welp, you can see how well the record did, and it's such a classic. Thank you for the reaction to this timeless classic!

I was thinking just that. No many how many times you hear this song you simply don't tire of it. I have the original album, I reckon its also to do with the lyrics as well as the delivery, that massive message of 'What You Won't Do For Love', most of us can relate to, I certainly can. It is a beautiful song with a resonating message

Bobby Caldwell passed away March14, 2023 from an antibiotic reaction also known as floxed. The link below is from the Soul Train Awards around 2014. Dave Koz toured with Caldwell and other R&B artists. When this song came out in 1979 I had just graduated from college and I flipped my lid. The song was romantic and sexy and I assumed he was black. Caldwell knew he was "the white guy who sang R&B and jazz". BTW I am white! The link below is the Soul Train Awards in 2014 and cneck out the reaction: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NrtL-UWotxE.html

@MrNathan791 3 месяца назад

I totally agree. Man back in the ‘70 there was so many great artists and music. For me there’s no doubt that growing up in the 70’s was the greatest era of music EVER. 60’s-80’s music no other 3 decades come close. Today’s music for the most part is just so boring and bad. It seems that no one can record without auto tune studio recordings and probably live too, with all of this computer generated music. I feel so blessed to have experienced all of that great music in real time; as it was released on the radio and record stores the very first time.

@jdub9279 Год назад

@AlexandreSilva-kc6kc Год назад

Legendary, American treasure. Black American Music became Universal, that's great. He's not the only one, white soul musician in the USA, there were many in the 70's/80's, interactions of races and styles were happening, you'd hear to black rock groups too. Maybe because I'm 52 this is normal to me. I love USA music, and I think there's a sort of white R&B branch that is very interesting, like Toto, Hall and Oats, Steely Dan, Michael Mcdonald, Ambrosia, in the UK Level 42, The Blow Monkeys, etc.
