This makes me so sad. What a loss for the entire music community. What a voice. May he truly rest in peace.
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

This is so sad. I listen to his music throughout my childhood. He had multiple hits. Rest in Peace.
"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
Such a good voice, I loved him. RIP Bobby Caldwell 💟

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. 💔
71 feels too young these days. Condolences to his family and loved ones.

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.
I remember when Mr. Cadwell hit the music scene. Yes, at first the soulful voice did throw me off, but childdddd 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🥰💔😢😥
Smooth and soulful. His contribution to music is huge! Rest In Peace 🙏🕊️
This is my favorite song....I am a big fan. This really hurts! RIP Bobby Caldwell ❤
I love this song. Rest in peace King 👑
he was such a talent! R.I.P. brother!
My favorite song of all times. RIP Bobby Caldwell
Such a legend. So important to hip-hop too.
Thanks for a classic… condolences and prayers to the Caldwell family…RIP🙏🏽💔😢
The first time I heard Bobby Caldwell's voice on the radio I was a fan! I was overwhelmed to purchase tickets for a live performance at The Circle Star, San Carlos, Ca., my requested purchased tickets was in a row near the end of the Star Isle. I screamed so loud, when he came through the curtains walking towards the stage, he looked at me & kindly extended his hand!! I also, was blessed to see him live at the San Jose Jazz Festival. Thank you Mr. Caldwell for sharing your talents & Condolences to your family!! Love Forever/ R.I.P./💙🎵🎼🎶🎹📻🎤💙

R.I.P. Mr Bobby Caldwell one of the best to ever do it .your music hit a nerve and touched so many from the toughest of neighborhood's to the quiet suburbs rest easy sir you'll live on through your timeless hit music !!!
one of the best male vocalists and song writers in the industry. R.I.P.
Bobby brought some true love & soul into the world musicly. His niche was as a balladeer, and wrote some of the most powerful love songs ever. I'm broken up inside-not just that another icon of my youth is gone, but that a fabulous talent like his will never be seen again. God bless you Bobby and rest in power.
RIP Bobby Caldwell. 🕊 I must admit Hip-hop owes alot to this legend. I still remember the days I first enjoyed his music. Classic. Soulful. Timeless! 💔

RIP Bobby Caldwell, one of my favorite songs and voice. Truly an underdog
I loved him he was a crooner he made you feel Frank was still alive he sang Frank’s songs so beautiful besides his own greatly missed😭
I thank my mother for raising me on these tunes. Brotha had soul RIP
Incredible singer who didn't reach the heights he should have. Man, this one hurts. I actually let out a little scream when I saw this headline. Thank you for the music Bobby. Addio.
Thanks for the tribute to my favorite singer & song writer. Will miss you Bobby, but your music, thankfully will always put me in a good mood, but now without you, bitter sweet.💔
That song will live on and the good memories will linger but I feel as if I lost a special connection to happier times in my life. That song takes me back to the days when I still had three living grand parents, all my Aunt's and Uncles, and both of my parents. In the back of my mind I hoped that one day I would eventually hear him perform it live. Just like the tale of elusive love that chance is gone. #RIPMrCaldwell

My aunt and uncle played what you won’t do for love for their annnversary last month. Truly a lovely song for a lovely occasion. RIP Bobby. Thanks for the magic
Bobby Caldwell was my man , I was 15 in 1978 and His song " What you won't do for love" was an instant as soon as you heard it , I often sang to his songs using his voice as a barometer for training my voice , I loved every piece of work Bobby Caldwell did, I was in his fan club and heard about his death on March 14 , 2023 one day after my 60th birthday. I have been a fan of his music for 45 years now, RIP Bobby Caldwell I miss you my man 🙏
can't live this world without you so please don't leave us now. RIP Bobby thank you very much for bring us love songs as a medicine for hearted mind.
I sang this, karaoke style, at my wedding May 25th, 2014. I practiced for 2 months. I'm not much of a singer but I loved the song and loved the Carry On album.
Such a wonderful song. RIP Bobby. 🙏
I Grew up on his music family reunions and everything I use to play basketball to his music growing up playing at my childhood recreation center use to give those guys buckets to his music they use to play What You Won't Do for Love all the time he literally is part of my Childhood he's like a family member Uncle Bobby God bless you sir
RIP to our favourite jazz singer ✨
Another one of my favourites has left us. Thank you for the music Bobby!
Damn! RIP to a real OG in the game. Our time is coming, for all of us. 50, 60, 70....who knows. You better do for love now❤
An absolute and undeniable legend.... Rest in peace Mr Bobby Caldwell......
I have just learned about his untimely death on the Internet today. The first and last time I listened to him was back in the 90's on the Smooth Jazz radio station station up here in Washington state, 98.9 FM KWJZ. The first song that I remember him singing was "Don't Lead Me On". Aside from that, today, to me, Bobby Caldwell was the equivalent of say, Marc Martel and Tom Chaplin of the rock band Keane. Again, just like Marc Martel himself, Michael Buble has got nothing, absolutely nothing on Bobby Caldwell, zero, zip, nada, zilch to the 9th or 10th degree. But he was there, whether we noticed him or not. He was a good guy and a brilliant singer and musician. His spirit, legacy, and music will live on forever because we'll never forget it. Rest In Peace, Bobby Caldwell 🙂👍.
I was just listening to this song bro😭
Beautiful velvety smooth, "soulful" voice. My condolences to his wife and family. 😥🙏
Amazingly talented man. We loved his "what you wont do song " as a family. Sad day. Rip Bobby C ❤
Please believe I have his songs on repeat before and after 😢 much love from a 90 baby may you live on my g
I went to see him perform at a club in Denver about 25 years ago. Godspeed.
my favorite & one of the best songwriter.. thank you for your beautiful music Bobby
One of my favorite songs.. He was very talented..RIP MR. BOBBY ❤
RIP Bobby😢😢 I absolutely loved his voice. My favorite song of his was "Stuck on you." That song, and even just the tone of his voice, bring back many good memories for me. ❤
Rest easy, and thank you for the memories.
RIP Bobby Caldwell. Thank you for the music.
It amazing how many clips they found of him.
RIP Bobby, you live forever in our hearts.
"What you won't do" got me into 70s-80s music back in 2007. Still love old school to this day. RIP Caldwell
I clearly remember that song..still hVe the 45... Loved his soulful sound RIH
As soon as I heard the news I heard in my head " Coming Down from Love". Man this is sad to hear Bobby Caldwell is gone. What a talent you were. Rest In Power Bobby. Thank you for the musical gifts you left us. Many condolences to your family.
Alot of babies made to this song . Alot.
After the anchor announced that someone memorable had died I went to the wiki death list and it mentions this man's name and that he was the song writer for the combo ( Peter Cetera/ Amy Grant hit Next Time I Fall in Love. The song rungs in my head at this moment. I wish that this wong would have made the mention this time.
thank you! bobby Your singing voice will remain in my heart forever I will listen to it over and over again In the evening sky when the sun sets, the sound of the beginning plays, and the time of relaxation passes and heals our bodies.
What a great song!!! He was really talented!!!
