One of the biggest - and most surprising - musical acts from the 70s and 80s is Bobby Caldwell. He’s described as surprising because if you listen to his music, you’ll automatically think that he’s in the league of Louis Armstrong and Lou Rawls - really good African-American soul singers.
That’s the vibe when you hear him. BUT when you see him, that’s a totally different story. As an example, here’s Bobby Caldwell singing his huge 1978 hit, “What you won’t do for love.”
Yes, he’s white. He’s a white, soul singer, which is a rarity then as it is now.
The amazing thing is that he has SO many hit songs under this genre. And i’ll most likely devote several more Friday Magic Madness posts on this amazing singer.
Well, that shouldn’t be a problem.
