When you hear the term “blue-eyed soul”, a nickname for the soulful music that is surprisingly created by a white musician, Bobby Caldwell has to be one of the artists that comes to mind.

Bobby Caldwell was a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist best known for his 1978 hit “What You Won’t Do For Love”. Other well-known classics of his include “My Flame” and “Open Your Eyes” which have been sampled in The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Sky’s the Limit” and by J Dilla for Common’s “The Light”, respectively.
