ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Bobby Caldwell

Bobby Caldwell's work connected soul, pop and R&B songwriting with an interest in standards. He learned guitar and piano early and developed his own songs before signing with TK Records in Florida. What You Won't Do for Love introduced his solo recording career to a wide audience in 1978. He continued writing for other performers and later explored standards, including a theatrical portrayal of Frank Sinatra. His compositions and their later recordings or samples have separate release histories.
