... there is a reason the album cover had him in silhouette. His record company was afraid that if the soul & R&B radio stations knew that he was white, they would not play his songs. They let his voice bring them into his world, and THEN let them know that he was white. It worked. The song became a massive hit.

Most people think he’s black and this song is very popular in the older black community.

This man was an amazing musician. He wrote songs for many artists, played many instruments and was just the very best. Rest in Peace Cat in the Hat.

Love this song 🎵 thanks for sharing, R.I.P Bobby ❤

Yes! I'm 1972 and we have the best music!

GOD, love and food, and music will bring people together more than anything. And that is great. In music skin color is not a thing.

Speaking Truth! I was 23 then....Now I'm 74 and I still love it. I was madly in love with my wife. See you soon sweetie!

Thank you, thank you! Great song, great voice, great horns.

The Prince of Blue Eyed Soul, BOBBY CALDWELL! RIP.

Check out the Bobby Caldwell song called “Open Your Eyes” and you might recognize it at the 1:04 mark. That part is the hook on a famous rap song from 2000. Excellent song btw.

It's incredible how much pop music that rap and hip hop have sampled. They've taken tons of music from artists like Blondie, Bruce Hornsby, the Bee Gees, Michael McDonald, Bobby Caldwell...the list goes on.

oes to show you, color means nothing to the non ignorant...talent is appreciated where ever it come's from. Peace and love to you and yours always !

And he’s playing that bass and piano.

Love you reaction Brother!! Trust me we all had the same reaction as well. You should react to "My Flame" another great Bobby Caldwell Classic.

Tupoc does that with a lot of older popular songs.

A singer's singer who is also a great songwriter

I heard the song on some Insta videos and I for sure thought he was black. Amazing voice.

Tupac,Biggie and Common have sampled parts of this song

Don't apologize. Literally everyone thought he was black if they just heard the song. I knew he was white because I'm old, lol. I was a kid in the 80s and my mom played this a lot and so did the radio. He just passed away recently 😢 and we lost an incredible talent. He plays multiple instruments and that voice speaks for itself. RIP 🕊 ♥ 🙏

Was crazy is that he ended up being a one hit wonder. And let me say this also if y'all are a couple with your family have gatherings hosted by like aunties and uncles go to them you will hear all kinds of music that you probably would never get anywhere else I do that with my family members all the time my younger one try to expose them to music because some of the music now just doesn't have what our music in the '60s '70s and especially '80s had. And me being a DJ retired but still a DJ

This is called "blue-eyed soul". Also see: The Righteous Brothers and Hall and Oats.

Until I watched a reaction about a year ago, I thought, or I just assumed that he was a Black dude. 😆❤️✌️

PLEASE please react to Jimmy Carr riskiest jokes vol 2. It gets even funnier and riskier. You will absolutely love it guaranteed. Keep the reactions coming loving the channel. 🇬🇧😀

We all thought he was black

@@CVTECK1 realise that, this was just a suggestion for next one.

Some people are made by GOD to sing certain song. And they are the only ones that do it right.
