Bobby Caldwell - Bobby Caldwell

Bobby Caldwell's long out-of-print second album

Debut album reissue featuring "What You Won't Do for Love"

Bobby Caldwell's debut album established him as a titan of blue-eyed soul, though he transcended genre tags with consummate ease, class and versatility. This double platinum self-titled masterpiece is a timeless example of sophisticated jazzy soul brillance.

Caldwell, the oft-sampled blue-eyed soul singer behind the late Seventies smash "What You Won't Do for Love," died at age 71 in March 2023. He was beloved by hip-hop beat makers and Black audiences.

"What You Won't Do for Love" was later covered by artists like Boyz II Men, Natalie Cole & Peabo Bryson, Michael Bolton, and Jessie Ware, and sampled by Tupac Shakur for the rapper's posthumous single "Do for Love."
