Bobby Caldwell, a soulful R&B singer and songwriter who had a major hit in 1978 with “What You Won’t Do for Love,' has died, his wife said Wednesday.
INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP, N.J. - Bobby Caldwell, a soulful R&B singer and songwriter who had a major hit in 1978 with “What You Won’t Do for Love” and a voice and musical style adored by generations of his fellow artists, has died, his wife said Wednesday.
The song was covered by artists, including Boyz II Men and Michael Bolton, and was sampled by Tupac Shakur on his posthumously released song “Do For Love.” Caldwell appeared only in silhouette on the self-titled debut solo album on which “What You Won’t Do for Love” appears. Caldwell would never have a hit that came close in prominence to “What You Won’t Do for Love,” but he released several respected albums, including 1980s “Cat in The Hat” — on which he appeared prominently on the cover wearing a fedora — and 1982’s “Carry On,” on which he was his own producer and played all the instruments.
