  • He is not white, he is a jacob descendent in a cave male body, he has soul, no FUCKING edomite has soul, it is NOT possible, the bible says, "to us belongs confusion of faces" dont get too proud you cave apes, he is a nigger in a body of a cave male... he is MY brotha... according to the king james bible 1611 edition... he is a brotha... a jacob descendant, the blood line goes thru the man, his forefather was a slave.. thats why he can sing... fuck all races, cave males was in the caves grunting

  • Blue eyed Soul !

  • This takes me back to my 6th Grade years and Tara Holloman....man first REAL kiss!! That song played up through our 7th grade year when we broke up!! MAN the memories that this brings back.

  • Somebody tell me this song isn't a great CLASSIC!!!

  • same here NEVER knew was any other race than what he sounded like. WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Every era has that sound you know. Never the less love this sound even as a child

  • I never really thought he was black, lol... just thought he was a dude with Black hair, guess I was wrong too. I love his voice and this song!

  • OMG I love this song and for the longest time I did think this singer was black! Anyway when I found out I laughed, he sounds Greattttttt...................­.......

  • Bobby was the '70's Robin Thicke - smooth.

  • His Best for sure

  • I miss you fozzy

  • it almost seems like he singing it for me.lol. luv this jam.R.T

  • Love this song!!

  • I always knew he was white....that's real blue-eyed soul

  • i honestly thought he was black(no racist) but it sounded like he was, just like scapegoat wax, i thought he was black too. and i noticed this is the song that 2Pac took a sample from for 'do for love', awesome.....

  • Comment removed

  • When I was younger, I could have sworn Bobby was black. When I found out he wasn't, it was like Alright then!! The dude can sing and that's all I care about. Music is music, but it is something special when you find a white person with this much soul. I don't mean any harm with that statement; I'm just saying. This song is tight.

  • AGREED.. I THOUGHT THIS GUY WAS BLK..STILL A GREAT SONG..VOCALS ARE REAL SMOOTH

  • I REALLY DONT GIVE A DAM ABOUT THIS MANS COLOR, TO BE HONEST I FIGURED IT WAS A WHITE MAN SINGING THIS, TRUTH IS, HE HAS SO MUCH DAM SOUL, U WOULD SWEAR HE WAS BLACK, DOESNT MATTER THO, HIS VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL!

  • GO TO HELL ALL YOU RACISTIST PEOPLE, GOD IS SENDING YOU TO HELL! GO FOLLOW BON SCOTT OF AC-DC AND HE WENT ON THE HIGHWAY TO HELL!

    Now, I wonder what happen to this gentleman. This was a good R&B-Top 40 Hit. I heard that he played all the guitar, drums, everything on this song. They laid each track down carefully to get the right sound.

  • this song is timeless and Bobby, Mr. Caldwll what can I say... Ur the man, now and 4ever... this is 'slamm'in...............

  • Good music transends race, culture amd religion... It touches thebasic humanity in the soul God gave you....

  • LOVE THIS SONG 4 EVER SINCE THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD AS A TEEN BACK IN THE DAY!

  • To theamyhawthorn...Your comments says more about you than soulful brothers and sisters who have commented on this class song...

  • Tupac samples this song in Do For Love.

  • I dont care what color he is i do know one thing this my SHIT!!!!Thank you BOBBY CALDWELL for making this magnificent masterpiece....DETROIT STAND UP!!!!!!!

  • Love This Song!!!! That's Why I Love To Sing It!!!!

  • Love this song!!! My mother is not very old but she had a very old soul so my siblings and i grew up on this kind of music!! Nurishing to the soul!!! We use to rock to these oldies like it was the new Trey songz...lol Imma 80's baby yeahhhh

  • Regardless of his color he bad I love this song its alot of whites that put out some good soul music

  • I always loved this song, and also thought that it was George Benson, despite the lack of guitar. Just goes to show that soul comes from the inside.

  • This is STILL the JAM!!!

  • wow in 2pacs do for love i thought bobby was a black chick singing

  • SOUL IS NOT A COLOR-----ITS THE WAY YOU LIVE AND THINK

  • @timpriddy73

    Amen.

  • @timpriddy73 OH YEAH . . . then why do more BLACKS have it then!

  • We thought it was Earth, Wind and Fire when it first came out and after Bobby Caldwell played on Soul Train when everybody found out he was white. We didn't care because it was the music that mattered and it was soulful as hell.

  • I remember When!!!!

  • Surprise 2 me, I have always loved this song, still do. Dude has got soul man.

  • thought this was george benson so give me the night wow glad i found it

  • Top Line..

  • so fulfilling

    Some people go around the world for love But they may never find what they dream of What you won’t do, do for love You’ve tried everything but you don’t give up In my world only you Make me do for love What I would not do

  • Oh so smooth...hmmmm

  • @MsKason1

    I agree, for over 20 yrs i thought he was black too.

  • Thumbs up if you're here because you just learned that the singer of this song is white. (NO RACIST)

  • @TheAmyHawthorne That's me. Found out on Madame Noire...!! Lolz!! But this song is and has been my shit for a looooooooonnng time. I thought it was Bill Withers.

  • @TheAmyHawthorne I have found in life, good music is good music...color is what it is, color. God Bless all this great music.

  • @TheAmyHawthorne

    Damn? Really? LOL! He is good! I love this song but never knew the name of the artist or even seen him on tv. Great song.

  • @TheAmyHawthorne Aha i get you.Im black and when i first heard this song as a little kid i thought he was black.I just found out he was white like a few months ago

  • @illmindful me too...i saw something on the web that said, 10 singers who we thought was black...and this was the only one that i didn't know was white...kudos to you Bobby...

  • did you know he was white??

  • I never knew this guy was white unti last year

  • @Margon1010 H! I thought this was a brotha myself.

  • @Margon1010 That only proves that soul music is color blind.

  • perfect

    

  • One of a few absolutely perfect songs here on This Earth. Still gives me chills. Thank you!

  • @littlebluegift i agree with you ,, in my top 10 of all time

  • "My friends wonder what is wrong with me, when I'm in a daze from your love u see".....Ultimate love lyric...cuz its true!

  • <3 ^_^

  • the four who didnt like this song didnt know what to do for love listen to the words then find love . yours truly kk(Dubuque)

  • <3

  • Freedom, you're right!!!

  • great song of the 70's !!

  • This was music when music was music

  • i keep on thinking a black guy sings this song

  • @quagdude mee too...I noticed when i googled his name I only see silhouettes. In the 70's they never displayed his face because they didnt want people to be turned off by his race.

  • @quagdude i only found out last year it was a whiteguy with a mullett singing it !!

  • This is a song that brings back a time when you could sit back and enjoy life and love. Mr. Bobby Caldwell thanks for memories of a time when love meant something!!!!

  • No wonder so many babies were made these songs made u want to make them listen to the chorus. I came back to let u know i got a thing for u and i can't let it go..What i won't do do for love.

  • I have always loved this - so smooth. But my absolute favorite by Bobby Caldwell is "Til You Come Back to Me". (If you can't find it, I'll send it to you.) He is a too underrated singer...

  • This was the first dance my first love &  I shared...Everytime I hear it I cry...great memories

  • OOhhhhh Man I thought he was black for the longest!!!! lol

  • Smooth music to the T but dude playin the Rhodes piano put the icing on the cake. Can't lie that oldschool will last forever the words he sayin hit home.

  • Love the way he closes out the singing portion of this song. It gives me goosebumps to hear that:)

  • MADE ME DO FOR LOVE, WHAT I WOULD NOT DO!

  • I WAS ON THE WAY TO BE STATIONED IN ALASKA, 1977; I KNEW THEN THIS WAS GOING TO BE A CLASSIC!

  • 4 pepole Hove no Soul..

  • @MrZamzaidy 1 person has no spelling or grammar skills.

  • @DrBlackfax typing Error.. heheheh

  • @MrZamzaidy Ha! Well, I admire your honesty and am guilty of plenty of those myself. Peace.

  • 4 ppl here dont know what real music is

  • Truely beautiful!

  • That is one soulful white man singing that song.

  • This songg helped me quit smoking. Eat Better. Hit the Gym... And love myself a lil better

  • @RehanSiddique Lolz!! Are you being facetious? 

  • @chunkiemunkiexd let's just say I couldnt love her unless I loved myself first... We're not together no more. But i take the good, and leave the bad. Thank you fozia

  • @RehanSiddique thank you

  • THANK YOU BASED GOD

  • TIMELESS......PRICELESS

  • I love the photos! Who is the artist?

  • The player of the sax of the back band is the first visit to Japan, but his performance is very good,

    I have begun to feel by the sax performance of the sound track of “The Fabulous Baker Boys".

  • Timeless!!!!!!

  • SMOOTH as silk! Bobby is what is great about music. This song will be remembered for a thousand years.

  • Definitely real music - so sweet and loving!!! God luck JJSanty!!!!

  • Ds da shizzer sounds

  • what you wont do....REAL MUSIC FOR REAL !!!!! THANKYOU!

  • Great song

  • It reminds me collage days.... nice pictures !

  • God willing, I'm going to sing this to my future wife at our wedding.

  • Thought he was black!.. Amazing

  • @7Know7Thy7Enemy7 He is; he's just Light-Skinned!

  • @WizzoPro9476 I'm assuming you were kidding? He's definitely white. A very soulful white man.

  • Now this is real music!!!

  • A fav of mine!

    I would listen to this lots on smoothjazz fm :)

  • What would you not do Bobby???...;-) Love you!

  • Such bittersweet music. always gets to me

  • Such bittersweet music. always gets to me

  • does anyone else besides me think that the ending of this song is just too epic and smooth...? wow.... i have to close my eyes and nod my head every time.... such a masterpiece...

  • Bobby is a classic. I saw him a few years ago in concert with Dave Koz doing this number. He, like all of us, may have aged more than we like to admit to ourselves but his music hasn't. He still brought the well packed house out of their seats and showed himself to be a first class talent and a gentleman.

  • When he hits the high notes >

  • Was this guy in SALSA the motion picture with Bobby Rosa about 1979 I think.

  • now this is a white guy i can listen to all night. you feel him singing this on 125th

  • This takes you back and makes you smile (:

  • This song seriously strikes a CORD with me in this stage of my life and marriage. I LOVE THIS SONG! AND BOBBY DOES JUSTICE TO IT. These kind of songs JUST DO EXIST ANYMORE :(

  • Chez Whitey

  • if your not feeling this you need to go see a doctor... and have him just put you to sleep... forever sleep

  • wow. what a great song.

  • Amen!

  • We broke up, basically lost the one special thing in my life. I feel like i lost myself somewhat.. Damn :( the pain.

  • @xMLGxGamer2284 Hey man, I was in your position about 8 years ago with my first love. I shared this special song with her, but we ended up going our separate ways. I definitely lost part of myself, too. But now I'm set to get married in 3 months. Some people say, 'love like you've never lost.' I don't think that's possible or healthy. You'll learn many things about yourself and others after breakups, and you'll change. The major thing is to keep your head up, and you'll be fine.

  • who in their right mind could ever dislike this song??? my kids even love this song  lol

  • Whoever the one idiot is that dislikes this song - I truly feel sorry for you since you obviously don't know what classic R&B music really is. Probably a Justin Bieber fan.

  • One of my favorite love songs ever. Nobody can ever cover this song and do it justice like Bobby did. I have loved this song since I hit puberty and still love it now that I am over 40, lol. Music can never get too old or die!

  • i am 14 and i can relate to this song and like pac said i am a sucka fo love,

    boy what you won't do for love

  • @Tj6297 babe, you gotta long way to go with love...but dont end up heart broken like mine lol

  • This is a Top 10 all time love song! Such a great one. I still groove to this song. This white cat is really singing his heart out on this one! He's singing like some sista hurt him somewhere along the way!!

  • A time when we had REAL music!!!

  • @hardlines4 .....very true......

  • @hardlines4 hallelujah truer words were never spoken preach on please lol

  • @hardlines4 DAM! U CAN SAY THAT AGAIN, REAL TALK!

  • @hardlines4 A time where old farts can go back to and kindly shut the fuck up before saying something as bigoted and cliché as that.

  • @42overPi That's not bigoted...

  • @doodleplop800 How is it not? What about the great artists of today (definitely not the 'pop' music)?

  • @42overPi

    I can't name any great artists of today.

  • @doodleplop800 Great artists IN YOUR opinion. What about Chris Cornell? He has records on his vocal range.

  • @42overPi Ohhhhhh, Im sorry, You probably just got out of a Lady Gaga or Pink concert and I hurt your feelings telling the TRUTH! Oh I see you chose to listen to this great tune.... You are learning.......

  • @hardlines4 I said Chris Cornell, not Lady Gaga or Pink. Why don't you go back to your Barbies, little girl, and stop pretending you're so important. Nobody else will.

  • @42overPi zzzzzzz!

  • @hardlines4 do you not think its possible for "real" music to exist now ?
