Years ago when my daughter became a musician, I took her to see Bobby and said “THIS is how it’s done” . He was the best-RIP Bobby

One of my all time favorite songs. RIP.

"What You Won"t Do For Love" is one of the best R&B songs of all time. It brings back wonderful memories from the 1970's. Bobby Caldwell was the greatest R&B artist. RIP

This is so sad. I listen to his music throughout my childhood. He had multiple hits. Rest in Peace.

His voice is FANTASTIC! Truly one of the best R&B male vocalist. This is one of favorite songs but Bobby has many more great songs. RIP Bobby and thank you for the music and memories ❤️

[lmitchell]

Such a completely underrated singer, musician, composer, artist. He has several great songs but was known for WYWDFL mostly. He was a massive success in Japan and was known as Mr. AOR (album-oriented rock). Extreme talent, should have been way more known than he was.

[michaelparker]

One of my all time favourites. As a song, it's up there with Marvin Gaye and Bobby Womack. I'm glad to hear he was well respected in the music business. 💔

[juliebradley]

A sad goodbye to a music legend. Thank you Bobby for the music.

[leminoade]

I love this song. Rest in peace King 👑

[adonai]

I remember when Mr. Cadwell hit the music scene. Yes, at first the soulful voice did throw me off, but i was hooked, signed, sealed, and delivered. His music has been sampled by so many other artists. Sir, you will be sorely missed, but we have your beautiful works. What a beautiful soul sooo UNSUNG. Take your position in the heavenly. Rip🥰💔😢😥

[michaelcorleone]

Smooth and soulful. His contribution to music is huge! Rest In Peace 🙏🕊️
