WAKE IT UP!!

We remember the AMAZING life and LEGACY of Bobby Caldwell!

Caldwell, a singer-songwriter whose sultry R&B hit “What You Won’t Do for Love” propelled his debut album to double-platinum status in 1978 and was later covered by chart-toppers like Boyz II Men, Common, and Michael Bolton, died on Tuesday at his home in Great Meadows, N.J. He was 71.

The cause was long-term complications of a toxic reaction to the antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones, his wife, Mary Caldwell, wrote on Twitter.

Over his four-decade career, Mr. Caldwell swerved freely among genres, exploring R&B, reggae, soft rock and smooth jazz, as well as standards from the Great American Songbook. He recorded more than a dozen albums under his own name.
