Members Faulkner Posted March 15, 2023 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Bobby Caldwell’s death was trending this morning, and, sadly, his official accounts have confirmed his passing. If you grew up listening to black radio as I did, you knew Caldwell and especially “What You Won’t Do For Love,” which was a Quiet Storm staple that was constantly sampled by hip-hop artists. Many people didn’t even realize he was white—he wasn’t a video artist, and his vocal timbre and even his name “Bobby Caldwell” sounded like that of a black man—and every now and then, you’d see him trending on Twitter, as a new group of people discovered his identity. Yet, like Teena Marie, he was fully embraced by black listeners, as he was steeped in the culture and wasn’t simply an appropriator.

Members Vee Posted March 17, 2023 Members Share Posted March 17, 2023 Unbelievable. Lance Reddick was a towering talent, not just on The Wire where he was exceptional but in so, so many things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 18, 2023 Members Share Posted March 18, 2023 I knew Reddick most from Oz, where he brought a great deal of commitment and raw charisma to a very hackneyed piece of melodrama. Sorry to hear he's passed away, especially so young and at a career high. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
