Then there is a track that has achieved cult status among soul purists. Covered by J Dilla (sampling it for Common’s "The Light") and later by D’Angelo, the song is a masterful blend of 80s groove and timeless soul.

From the immortal piano lick of "What You Won't Do for Love" to the dreamy rediscovery of "Open Your Eyes," Caldwell left us a discography that feels like a warm embrace. bobby caldwell greatest hits
