Description
BOBBY CALDWELL is a 1978 factory sealed LP release on the Clouds label # 8804.
Bobby Caldwell is one of only a handful of white vocalists (Van Morrison and Simply Red's Mick Hucknall, to name a couple more) who legitimately transcended the blue-eyed soul tag. Caldwell's genuine mix of R&B and jazz signatures as well as his bittersweet yet buttery vocal tones conjure up images of a smoothed-out version of Chet Baker. On this, his breakthrough album, the native New Yorker scored a hit with the timeless "What You Won't Do for Love" and also polished off another near-classic on "My Flame." Caldwell even tries his hand at the experimental on the short but sweet instrumental "Kalimba Song." The songs do carry a singular sound and contain the power to place themselves in a time period. The cut "What You Won't Do for Love" will always stack up, as even hip-hop producers saw fit to sample the horn riff and bass track a number of times (listen to 2Pac's "Do for Love," for one).
The factory sealed jacket has a small ding on the top right corner. The record is in Mint condition.
