This is, without a doubt, the best sounding copy of this song I've ever heard. The floating direct drive motor on the Tech 1200 is stunningly quiet and smooth, which is exactly what a sensitive cart like the AT-150MLX needs. I need to grab a copy of this on vinyl. I'm listening with Audio Technica ATH-A700 headphones and hear layers in this record I've never heard before, and I've listened to this song easily 1,000 times in my lifetime. Stunning!
a most excellent song in every way--the singing, the instruments, the arrangement, the interpretation. timeless, enduring, precious, received through the ears & stored in the heart. It's more like it--and other songs and music that make a difference and an impression--lives in the heart, only to come out as or like a fine fragrance, vintage, or emotional pallete from time to time.
This song is on my all time favorite list. I loved it instantly the first time I heard it in 1979 and I love it more each time I hear it! Got to see Bobby Caldwell perform with his band at UCLA a few years ago. What a magical night! Thanks for posting this!
Always thought I'd be a player for life!!! Happy to say I'm getting married to an amazing woman ya'll. Sometimes I catch myself sitting there smiling at her for no reason. "What You Won't Do For Love" ya'll. ha ha
I cannot, & probably will never be able to find the proper words to describe how perfectly awesome this song is. If music like this was still made (poetry on wax) maybe the world woul be a much better place.
Music like this just makes you feel good! When you hear PURE GOLD like this you don't even realize that your grinning from ear to ear. It's a subconscience thing.
OMG.. my mother used to play this record all the time. She had the 45 and it was shaped just like a heart ant it was red...I thouhgt that was so fascinating...love you mom..r.i.p
love this track !!!! listen to it and you just can kick back and vibe ! i miss music like this ! they need to come back ! and all this rubbish ppl call music now adays need to take a break !
Thank you for posting this version instead of the 'radio edit', cut-short version that is included on so many Greatest Hits CDs. I envy you having this LP... : ) This is an utterly PERFECT song!
This white boy broke on the sense in the 70,s we thought this white boy was black he was funky yes . A great Artist, what is he doing these days in 2011?
@333367777 As far as I've heard, Bobby's never thrown in the towel. He's been touring and creating music for the past 30+ years straight. He does work with jazz and 1940s 'big band' music also in places like Las Vegas and such also, as well as the smoother RnB joints such as this one.
gah, LOVE!

No offense to Bobby Caldwell's effort, but wouldn't it be awesome to hear Disney stars singing this WONDERFUL hit? They should give it a try. :)
