[Ru5161]

Dwele...not smooth... but, SmoOove ;)

[123Geezer]

I love how this 'breaks out' - another tune in it's own right.

[saxy82]

this is cool but i light the light by common

[leoviolinmusic]

I like this version better

[123Geezer]

@leoviolinmusic - the original ain't bad either. Great song.

[steeeveebee]

Hehe . . . soooo funny ! !

There are arguments raging on related pages bout whether Dwele or Bobby Caldwell do better versions and as to who sounds Black etc etc

But I reckon this guy SOUNDS WHITE . . . . ! !

in fact he sounds JUST like Robin Thicke , - very , very much

So in my opinion that blows the stupid arguments out of the water

WHO GIVES A FLYING *@*@ what colour the artist is .

.- just enjoy the talent is what I say . .

[LITESKINHONEY]

I Love This Song Mad For Real Musiq :)

[XbellaaX]

Will never get bored of this, such a pure voice, this is miles better than the original tbh :')

[diva8679]

I've never heard either version of this song I luv this 1 it's HOTT!

[2theleft2theleft]

LOVE IT (L)

[stevendies]

He blatantly ripped this song of Bobby Caldwell without getting permission. what a rookie. Bobby Caldwell and Bruce Malament (RIP) are the real gangstas Dwele owes them some fat royalties.

[1Savioso1]

dwele baby...this is the best version..more upbeat...yeah!!

[stlloyd1]

Actually, Dilla produced Commons The Light, as well as most of Like Water for Chocolate, with the exception of The 6th Sense, which was produced by DJ Premier. I personally, like the version on Dweles album.  Peace!

[khoury1600]

Bobby Caldwell did the original back in the late 70's or very early 80's. (lyrics included). Common sampled the track for "The Light." in the 90's. Platinum Pied Pipers feat. Dwele on vocals did this version in early 2002 compilation album and then (because of its popularity in my opinion) Dwele re-recorded again for his solo album last year.... personally my favorite is the Platinum Pied Piper version, the one uploaded on this feed. All the versions are cool to me. its a great song!

[marthanomore]

@khoury1600 thank you, I was on some chicken-before-the-egg reasoning on trying to figure out between common and Dwele.

[TheRhythmCollection]

I have to say I like the original Bobby Caldwell version.

[SuhKadikk]

Originals are always the best. These do justice tho.

[cgreen724]

Now this joint is hot....He had Common lyrics in there. I love the entire Dwele, Common, John Legend family.

[freowbud]

This is Bobby Caldwell's song Open your eyes. Common sampled this song too from Bobby Caldwell in his song The Light. I like Dwele version but I think I like the original a little better.

[snacks163]

i listen to bot depends on what mood I'm in.

[khvibez]

i don't know if its from hearing the light a lot or not, but the original sounds like it was meant to be sampled. I like dwele's version better.

[SannyakaHOT]

My fav !! <3

[ebonyb123]

Motown still producing classic artist. Detroit loves Dwele!!!!!!!!!!

[MrsJarellDH]

YES... we... DO

[1Savioso1]

This version rocks out the most!! I got this version first then heard the original i was like nahh.. remix!!

[mac2daresq]

cant get enough

[LuzBX]

nice

[haytama2tama]

yup... feeling the beat on this num. heard it a while back, but never knew who sung it. kinda stumbled into it. mean!

[haytama2tama]

this song is off the hook mayne

[CenzoBeatz]

beautiful...but i prefer the original. still 5/5

[Knnrm]

who remixed this?

its really good.. :]

[jlorimar]

Platinum Pied Pipers

[Knnrm]

Thanks

[lilmissashley87]

man i love this...this is beautiful...

[streetsbeensleeping]

this is a diffrent version than the one from his album, damn dwele.. you too sick!

[phrenchguy02]

freaking dope cover of the Bobby Caldwell classic. Shot out to Common, Bobby and Dwele for this one.

[bharr22]

I like the rawness of this one. Raw soul. Album version is dope though.

[nagchampa83]

this isnt the Album version either... that one is more polished

[nagchampa83]

i wanna hear Dwele do What u Wont Do for Love

[gamehyphy]

Tupac already did that. May he RIP.

[nagchampa83]

naw i meant i wanna hear Dwele a sing a version of it.. i know tupac did a song sampling it.. which was dope n very much a classic in my book..

[djchuckdeez]

shits pretty good too but bobby kilts it first YADIAIDAIDMADINEAESEN

[clutchyhopkinz]

is that supposed to say yadadadadadimeen

[djchuckdeez]

yes

[rizaldy01]

damn motherfucker! you curse too fucking much! you fucking asshole!

[PecknarmLondonEnland]

This is not the proper beat, it missing the drops in the drum and the base line at the bridge.

[ivansmellsfunny]

because its the common version

[visno]

this is incorrect, this is the platinum pied piper version which was a 12" single that never appeared on any of either tripleP's or dwele's albums. dwele redid it on his newest album Sketches of a Man.

[tiffallen44]

I really like this song. Nice sound

[FlawlesZMa]

wut is commons song called wit the sample??

[PecknarmLondonEnland]

THE LIGHT!

[Comocogirl]

Trooop Bon quoi !!!

[blueragebull]

*****

[isaywompallthetime]

beautiful songggggggggggggg

[Thethirdson08]

This shit jus calms me da fucc down

[PecknarmLondonEnland]

So why use aggressive language.

"Yeah this fucking shit calms me fucking down man, shit, fuck... i'm so fucking chilled out right fucking now."

[KeepinItStr8Funky100]

This sounds like Common "the light" Nobody can copy that song!!!

[rglov34]

LMFAO learn ur history b4 u say something like that...

[KeepinItStr8Funky100]

Watcha mean??? This song came out before Common's song??? Well, whateva!!! It still dont sound as good as "The light."

[TooSlower]

Mister Bobby Caldwell - open your eyes

Look that song he made it

common or j dilla sampled for common

i dont know that but i know who made it ;)

[tiffanywlls]

This is a remake of Bobby Caldwell sweetie.Common sampled it.The song is over twenty-five years old.So Common did copy it and so did Dwele!

[KeepinItStr8Funky100]

Ok!!! U r the 2nd person to tell me this. Do u feel better about yourself now???

[tiffanywlls]

First off dumb ass,how would I know who told you anything.If you did not post such stupid comments no one would have to tell you anything.Trying to get smart only makes you sound more like an idiot!

[KeepinItStr8Funky100]

Tha same way you sound like an idiot, right now!!!! Hahahahaha

[KeepinItStr8Funky100]

And there is a difference between "stupid" and "ignorance." Ignorance is when you do not know something, and I was unaware that this was a remake of a song by Bobby Coldwell. Thanx!!!

[Nndankn]

dude you were being condescending,1

[PecknarmLondonEnland]

Then you must stupid. Why can't you find out urself, in future don't ask unintelligent questions. You ungrateful wanker.

[SoulSir]

I, like this rendition of Bobby Caldwell's hit.

[Mullu29]

too sweet!

[coolsdudes]

ahhaaahhhhhh i love it!!! &hearts;

[leonce15]

wooooooooo!!!!! big up dwele everytime!! love it

[kkbday01]

u sing it baby!

[hrtsfield]

just when you've lost confidence in music, you get songs like this! well done!!!!!!!!

[blingblingbaby1]

mmm awesome

[GodsProperT]

Love It, this a must have cd to any true r&b listeners. Much respect to Bobby Caldwell" what you wont do" and Common "The Light".

[Havok214]

This is an amazing cover.

[2008cleopatra]

Don't forget that white boy Bobby Caldwell did this first. It's BAD!!! I'm an old head so I have to inform y'all about the boy. Both versions are good but remember Bobby Caldwell "What You Won't Do For Love" guy back in the 70's.

[poetress77]

I like both versions, Dwele's & Common's, tight

[therealdopechick]

ill song :)

i love it.

[ElitistPretzelEater]

Great.

[jezreels]

he has a version on his up coming album thats even better

[ibbysgurl]

Yeah, the newer version is so tight! The whole album is good.

[YaReady]

Awesome version of this song.
