Patty loved this song for years, and only just now discovered that the singer, the late Bobby Caldwell, was white, not black.
She’s not the only one. There’s a crowd of black YouTubers who have enjoyed Caldwell’s music for years but never saw him until just recently. Their reaction was a great deal of surprise that he was a white man… and pure delight.
It’s not my kind of music, but I have to stand up and cheer for what is being done with it. Bobby Caldwell and his songs bring people together and make them happy! You can’t think of a better use for music. And why bother to try? (“Better than all the politicians put together!” Patty adds. One cannot but agree.)
