With the death of Bobby Caldwell, music has laid to rest an iconic singer and songwriter whose imprint on Hip-Hop will forever be felt thanks to classic records from quite literally some of the greatest MCs to ever do it.
Caldwell’s most popular hit, “What You Won’t Do For Love,” was famously sampled by Tupac Shakur on the artist’s second posthumous release, 1997’s R U Still Down, though the vocals were recorded in 1994, two years before the icon’s untimely passing.
