Pleasant but Lightweight.......2005-07-22

A friend recently decided to thin out her huge CD collection, and she offered me my pick of the ones she was donating to charity. I grabbed this one, because I had fond memories of the song "What You Won't Do For Love" from the late '70s. I like this album, but I can see why I might wind up giving it away after a few years.

Caldwell's music is soulful and pleasant, but there's a lightweight quality to it. The melodies are catchy but forgettable, and the lyrics tend to be sugary and banal. Caldwell is a good singer, and his phrasing and timbre are reminiscent of Stevie Wonder, but Caldwell's songs have none of the sexual or socio-political edge or emotional depth of Wonder or other great soul artists.

Having said that, this album is solid easy listening fare. The song "What You Won't Do" stands the test of time as a distinctive pop soul classic. Other good songs include the ballads "My Flame" and "Take Me Back to Then." If you enjoy light, breezy pop soul, you'll probably like this CD.

You can't miss out on music like this!.......2004-12-24

This one that made it big for Bobby Caldwell. It's orignally titled "Bobby Caldwell" but was forced to change it due 2 total reasons. Can't say much about it, this is a good album that anybody who wants to hear good music 'cuz my dad said he's was once discovered by Barry White. Everybody should know that the title song to this CD is a all-time favorite slow jam one that would go on years to come.

I recommend u should buy this instead of a hip-hop/rap album I used to buy all the time.

No one should live without this!

some great stuff here, but simply not enough.......2004-11-22

This 1978 album was Bobby Caldwell's first--I believe it was originally a self-titled effort, and that the title was changed to "What You Won't Do for Love" when the song of the same name became a hit. There is some great stuff here, but unfortunately, it seems that Caldwell just didn't have enough material and/ or was in a hurry to meet a deadline, because there is a considerable amount of blatant filler, including overlong fades, & the album runs less than 35 minutes in the first place. Also, the lyrics are often very slight. He's clearly in disco territory on a couple songs--the album opening "Special To Me" is way too sugary, but the wonderfully melodic "Love Won't Wait" is an irresistible, somewhat jazz-flavored tune. The smooth, wistful soft rock ballad "My Flame" is captivating with great hooks, but there are a couple really weak ballads as well with the ridiculously sappy "Come To Me", and "Take Me Back To Then" which is a song about wanting to be a kid again and has a very annoyingly overblown lead vocal. Plus, the funk-flavored love ballad "Can't Say Goodbye" is really let down by the overwrought vocals, lame lyrics, & the excessive, overlong fade. The super mellow album closer "Down For The Third Time" has cool, jazzy guitar, & it's an infectiously catchy tune, but it has a fade that's really long, really repetitive, and really dull. He also slips in an instrumental fragment "Kalimba Song"--it's less than a minute & 1/2 long & fades out so abruptly that it leaves you with an undeniable "What, that's it?" feeling. There's no denying though that the soulful title track is a classic--it's got a great horn riff, cool orchestration, an ultra-catchy melody, & Caldwell's vocals on it are terrific--he sounds quite similar to Stevie Wonder, but without the annoyingly overdone 'show-biz' mannerisms that Wonder has a tendency to indulge in; this song also has a very long fade, but this time it's to nice effect--it's got a nice contemplative, atmospheric feel to it. In the end, the album is a heck of a mixed bag--it's a shame, because the best stuff demonstrates that Caldwell was capable of a masterpiece. As it is, this is still worth getting if you see it for a low price--there is some must-have material on here that makes the album worth having.

Torch Songs, Bobby's Way.......2004-10-31

Unrequited love can't get the best of you lovers out there -- that is, not if this sublime CD is part of your pop/R&B collection. I have the original CD of this set of songs, titled "Bobby Caldwell," and I love kicking back to listen to it when I'm feeling a bit haunted by ghosts, uh, lovers of the past.

My first time hearing "What You Won't Do for Love" was the morning of Valentine's Day on a Top 40 radio station. The DJ announced Bobby Caldwell's name excitedly, and I remember being puzzled because I had never heard of the singer before that day. I probably was late for school because Bobby Caldwell's smooth, soulful vocals blending with the Earth, Wind & Fire-influenced groove had me hypnotized in the middle of my room. Not since Deniece Williams' "Free," released the previous year, had I received such an exquisite lesson in adult-themed romance and intimacy.

As an adult, I love to imagine that Caldwell is crooning to me when I listen to slow cuts like "My Flame" and "Down for the Third Time." I also admire his fast-tempo tracks, but on the slow songs Caldwell gives a nod to Sinatra in his ability to transport the listener to a cozy jazz club setting. It's just Bobby and I, and he's onstage leaning down with the microphone toward me while I sit there blushing at the table-for-one -- ahem, sorry, I guess I got caught up in the moment.

While "What You Won't Do for Love" holds a special place in my memory, "My Flame" has become my favorite in recent years. On that track, the wistful kalimba and guitar pluck on the heartstrings while Caldwell interprets what could be any of our romantic experiences. For example, how many of us still have that "picture on the shelf" (or in the attic or closet -- but not buried there)? And how many of us wish we had a personal time machine that would allow us to demand to that former lover: "Tell me you still want me"? Just listen to the way Bobby Caldwell turns mellifluous on the word "flame" in the last refrain and you'll understand why he's a master of the torch song.

A final word about "My Flame": It has endurance not only in the minds of Caldwell's longtime fans but also in the music industry. Only a few years back, I got chills upon hearing Vanessa L. Williams' alluring cover of the song. (Only one of her greatest-hits collections includes "My Flame," so check out the track listing carefully.) It doesn't matter whether it was her decision or her record label's to record it, but she personified Desire in a way that probably made Caldwell proud -- royalties aside.

As for the midtempo "Down for the Third Time," Caldwell sounds as hip as ever singing about love and independence. The song's melodic ending, with its descending chord progression and Caldwell's undulating "oohs" and "ohs," is so infectious that you'll regret not having programmed the track back-to-back on your CD player.

This guy is a genius..........2004-02-09

Period. The CD is that good.

CD's of Bobby Caldwell.......2007-03-13

CD's were in excellent condition and wonderful. Those of you how love Sinatra will LOVE Bobby Caldwell! He is awesome. Thank you for the great price and condition! I'll order again.

Just sit and listen? NO WAY!.......2006-04-08

Listen to this guy do "I Get a Kick Out of You", with that powerful orchestra right behind him, both components absolutely on point-and I will defy you to hold yourself still.

This man has a great, strong voice harnessed by very fine control.

I feel a little useless and bored writing this review, because what I'd much rather be doing I can't do here in Lizard Lick-and that's hearing Bobby Caldwell live, where there's a great dance floor and some very stylish company, ladies who know how to move and won't mind dancing with a guy who's never learned how to do it properly.

If you liked Sinatra, listen to Caldwell. He delivers. And the orchestra is stunning. There's a lot of power and life in this collection.

Fabulous Standard Performances by a Great Singer.......2005-07-25

Five stars indeed! Bobby delivers killer big band performances of these exceptional Tin Pan Alley/Pop classics. Other artists take note, this is how you do these songs!! The big band and arrangements are exceptional.

As I mentioned in the review of the equally wonderful "Come Rain or Come Shine" CD, many of these songs were heard on a live performance by Bobby on the BET Jazz Channel that was jaw-dropping in it's intensity. My Mom was so floored by the TV appearance (which is still being replayed in 2005 on the BET Jazz channel's "Jazz Central" show) that she asked me to buy his music. She'll get both "Blue Condition" and "Come Rain or Come Shine": one for Christmas and one for her birthday.

The Pieces D'Resistance are versions of "I Concentrate on You", "Don't Worry About Me" and "Street of Dreams" as well as a "Girl I Dream About" that is simply sensational.

This blue-eyed soul meister is a natural for the standards and he doesn't compromise his voice and phrasing to imitate anyone. Even Alicia Keyes makes no secret that Bobby is one of her many influences. Hearing the great Lou Rawls gush over Bobby's performance on the BET Jazz Channel says all you need to know about the music that was later recorded on this CD. Bobby has come along way since his mega-R&B hit "What You Won't Do For Love" and this CD is a sizzling example of how he has expanded his repertoire' beyond 'blue-eyed soul'. Thank you, Bobby for some truly memorable big band music.

Well done.......2003-12-10

I can't quite understand the criticism that's been leveled at Bobby Caldwell for "Blue Condition" and "Come Rain, Come Shine". Some complain that the arrangments are unoriginal, that the songs belong to Sinatra, Darin and others, that Caldwell copies Sinatra's phrasing, that Caldwell's voice doesn't measure up to Sinatra's or those of the other singers of these songs. As these criticisms relate to "BC":

1) The arrangements aren't groundbreaking, and maybe they owe a debt of gratitude to those arrangers of the past. With those concessions, I find the arrangements extremely solid, reasonably interesting but not obtrusive. And the orchestra delivers them with an extremely professional touch.

2) These are great songs, and as long as contemporary artists respect them and the singers who popularized them, what's the problem? Caldwell is extremely respectful of the songs and the singers, and that's all that needs to be said.

3) I've listened to a fair share of Sinatra recordings, and the thing that stands out most is his unique (and at times even peculiar) phrasing. Caldwell could try for a million years to copy it and never succeed. If anything, Caldwell is guilty of straight forward phrasing. Why anyone would think Caldwell is ripping off Sinatra's phrasing is beyond me.

4) Caldwell's voice doesn't measure up to Sinatra's? I'm not so sure. What made Sinatra unique was his phrasing and his style, part of which was visual. It wasn't necessarily his vocal qualities. If you listen to Sinatra for awhile you'll notice that his pitch isn't always perfect. I don't think the same criticism applies to Caldwell. Caldwell possesses very good pitch, a smooth, silky tone and good control throughout his range. Caldwell's voice bears a striking resemblance to Bobby Darin's, which tells you all you need to know.

Bobby Caldweel Timeline- is SMOOTH.......2002-03-09

This CD is just great. Somehow ours got misplaced and since my husband and I are both addicted to it- I am buying TWO MORE!
(NO, I don't make illegal CD'S.) This is just smooth jazzy type music that is very easy to listen to...and actually is good for your relationship too!

Mesmerized.......2001-10-19

What a discovery! I vaguely remember Bobby Caldwell from my sixth grade days, back in 1991, when he did a duet with Marilyn Scott, "Back to You". That song was just beautiful and timeless. Then recently, I heard "Real Thing" on the radio, and I instantly fell in love with it and can't stop playing it in my head! I did some research on the net, and found out that he has released many albums before, even before I was born... So I ran to the nearest CD store, and bought Timeline (too bad his CDs are hard to find here), so that way I get to hear all the greatest hits from him... And what a great CD it is!

Here's some of my favorites:
1. Real Thing: no wonder it's a big hit, especially here in Asia. It's very catchy and very uplifting.
2. Don't Ask My Neighbor: a great song, you can't help but sing along.
3. Let It Be Me: another classic song, but it's different when Bobby sing it.
4. Once upon a Time: a very romantic song, just listen to the melody.
5. Don't Lead Me On: a unique "doo-wop" style, we don't hear it often nowadays.
6. Baby, It's Cold Outside: a marvelous duet between Bobby and Vanessa Williams, another uplifting song.
7. Good to Me: a brand new song and a very touching one.

But these are just some of his masterpieces. To get the "real thing", you simply MUST BUY this CD! You won't regret it!

Cooling Down with Bobby.......2002-08-05

This is a great CD to unwind and relax after such a hectic day. Altough 'Back in the Fire' is a bit inconsistent with other songs, the rest of them are still sweet, great to cuddle up with your loved ones.

This "CD" put the "E" in easy listening........2001-03-11

This Cd covers a wide range of selections that at one time or another have been favorites of everyone. He has blended his style and the arrangement of these songs so well that if we didn't know better we might think of the songs as his and his alone. I love to listen to them all, but my favorite is "Promise". I recommend this Cd to anyone who truly enjoys relaxing, pleasant, and comforting music.

Great CD!.......2000-06-30

In my opinion, Bobby is one of the most underrated performers around. He is just a wonderful songwriter. This cd has some good remakes but the highlights are original songs like Promise, Show Me, Don't Ask My Neighbor, etc. Every song on the cd works.

fabulous.......2000-04-14

this is one of the best collection of songs I've ever heard on one single album. The instrumentation and vocal harmony really grabs you. I listen to it constantly and I have turned many others on to Caldwells music.

I recently saw Aaron Neville twice in one week on his latest tour. He was wonderful. His shows were 2.5 hours long and not a bad song. He is 62 years old and still very much in his prime. This CD has some great songs on it and the bonus tracks will keep you from buying other CDs for just one song. Go out and buy it. Buy an extra copy for a friend. Enjoy!

This sophomore album seemed more cohesive and less pretentious than his debut project. Great music from start to finish. Ive always been a fan especially of his earlier work.

Great Follow-up album.......2001-12-29

I remember seeing Bobby Caldwell perform "Coming Down From Love" on some local independent television channel. In an era of Don Kirschner's Rock Concert, The Midnight Special, Saturday Night Live, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, etc.... I remembered thinking "Who is handling this guy's career and why is he on a public access channel?"

This should have been a great follow up album to his debut offering, but again - small labels and promising artists don't fare well together.

I'll always dig the rock-steady ballads and anti-sophisticated grooves of the Cat in the Hat album, mainly because they were so jingle-like and so easy to sing along to.

Probably his second best........2000-01-28

More "lyrical" than the Carry on album, this is also a masterpiece. I first bought it in the vinyl format long ago, and couldn't resist purchasing the cd when it was released ! The collaborations are less flashy than on his follow up cd, but the result is high quality anyhow. A fine balance of slow songs ("Coming down from love", "I don't want to lose yourlove"), rythmic songs ("Wrong or right", "Mother of creation") and very soulful ones ("It's over"). Another cd you MUST have ...in your hat.

this selection is his most affecting compilation. great pics.My favorite Caldwell album. "Carry On" Plenty of slow jams and cool grooves.

Jamaica.......2001-12-29

In a concert, Bobby Caldwell introduced "Jamaica" as a song he wrote in tribute to Bob Marley. While the song is hardly a reggae infused karaoke sign along - listening to it gives you a definite imagery of how serene and peaceful the atmosphere must be to have inspired such a mellow composition.

Over the years, I have only heard maybe two or three songs from "Carry On"... It's a great album in typical Bobby Caldwell fashion and sounds even better with time.

Ultimate entertainer.......2001-11-06

It just doesn't get better than this. The Timelines are fabulous and the two big band albums are just soooo great. I never get tired of that marvelous gift of a voice with which Bobby was blessed.

One of the finest pieces around.......2001-08-29

Being in Bermuda, finding these titles are impossible. But I had to replace my Caldwell CD's because of use. Without a doubt, Bobby Caldwell and his interpretations of his music are without equal. One of the finest in the industry. You can keep Madonna (et al), I'll take Caldwell.

Bobby Caldwell at his best !.......2000-01-28

I have almost everything this man has released, and even have a couple of his records signed personally by him. All things compared, this is probably his best album. All the tracks are high quality, and the collaborations by Toto musicians (Jeff -everybody REALLY misses you- and Steve Porcaro, David and Marty Paich Steve Lukather) are top level. That's why tracks such as "Jamaica" are so unique. Also check out collaborations from Marc Russo on sax and Jimmy Haslip on bass (both from the Yellowjackets). A MUST in your collection if you like the best combination of pop soul/soft rock.

Bobby at his heart wrenching, soul reaching absolute best!,.......2006-08-01

Having served mostly as a songwriter for the success of others, with an occasional single of his own getting a peak at contemporary radio play, "Stuck on You" was milked by many stations for air time. Many a "smooth jazz" station claimed Bobby as their own after the release and subsequent success of this CD, one that only the heart broken could pen. "Don't Lead Me On, Stuck on You," and "Cry" reach every emotional horizon one can reach in the pre, current, and post phases of a relationship. In "Janet" Bobby picks up the tempo a bit in singing the praises of his favorite girl of choice, and "Back To You" gives Bobby a gorgeous duet with Marilyn Scott to dress up the tail end of his album. Alto saxers Richard Elliott and Dave Koz, along with the Tower of Power band make noticeable contributions to this mood setting collection of what many now consider Caldwell classics. They say females are more taken to singers (or men?) who are more sensative and capable of pouring out their emotions. Given the make-up and response of the audience I saw at Bobby's show on the "Stuck On You" tour, in Joliet Il., I would have to say that there is some substance to that claim. More than one person I know became instant Bobby Caldwell fans after one listen of "Stuck On You". It's a very fulfilling album with enough depth to listen to it from beginning to end. Caldwell's emphasis is more on songwriting and singing - his obvious and well regarded strengths- than any extravagent keyboards, though anyone familiar with Bobby never really expects anything beyond that anyway. Bobby has made several good CDs since, but none of them were able to live up the the standard "Stuck on You" set. While some light music stations dug into this album, it's more in the contemporary jazz category

I hope Bobby Caldwell wouldn't mind me saying that this isn't one of his greatest efforts. The song 'Once You Give In' is nice, but not more. The rest of the cd is a crossover-mixture between a weak billy joel and ........i don't no. save money folks.

This CD is a shame. It is such a let-down........1999-07-22

It's hard to believe this is the same person who did "For Love". It almost reminds me of Pat Boone doing hard rock. It deserves less than one star.

All Pop and no Soul.......1999-07-19

I think that this album is a bust. Bobby Caldwell got away from his jazz roots. I don't hear any soul in this album that's what I'm used to hearing from his music. It's all pop and no punch.

A Must Have..........2006-06-24

A very unique CD.
A must have. Heart of Mine is a classic song, and Real Thing and Even Now are beautiful songs. Bobby Caldwell can croon with the best of 'em and his compositions are masterful. Next Time is a very nice song also and you can't help but feel how much he puts into these songs. This guy has soul! Very powerful songs and the production job is superb.
I've been listening to this one for more than 15 years now and it really holds up over time. That's the acid test.

Heart and Soul!.......2005-02-20

I've heard that the best CD Bobby has put out is a toss-up between Heart of Mine and Stuck on You. I don't own the latter, but I can definitely testify that there isn't a bad song on Heart of Mine. (This record must be one of his best because 6 of the 10 songs on here are on his Anthology Pt. 2 compilation). Fair warning, though: this is entirely romantic music. 7 of the 10 songs are ballads (the other 3 are somewhat upbeat). Bobby is known for romantic/heartache subject matter, but NOBOBDY does it better.

On this recording, Bobby uses top-knotch studio musicians such as guitarist Michael Landau (Richard Marx, Chicago) and saxophonist Dave Koz. Bobby performs all of the keyboards himself (so the liner notes say). He also does all of his own harmonies, and I have to say, nothing sounds sweeter. Bobby has a wonderful tenor voice and his harmonies are blissful perfection. Just take a listen to "Stay With Me," "Next Time I Fall," or "Heart of Mine." I personally think that I like Bobby's version of "Next Time I Fall" more than Peter Cetera's/Amy Grant's. His voice reminds me of Chicago's Jason Scheff, with whom he shares a songwriting credit on "Heart of Mine." What a splendid coincidence. (Bobby Caldwell co-wrote two 80s benchmark songs for Chicago featuring Scheff's lead vocal: "Niagara Falls" and "What Kind of Man Would I Be?").

Caldwell was involved in writing all of these songs either collaboratively or solely. The production is very sweet, more poppy than jazzy. Many music afficionados refer to this genre as "smooth jazz/R&B." Whatever it is, it's addictive. The jazziest tune you'll get on this is probably "First Time," which features a jazzy guitar solo performed by Bobby. Genre aside, Bobby Caldwell's lyrics and chord progressions are food for the soul (or the heart, if you prefer). Bobby's biggest hit is a song that he co-wrote with guitarist Alfons Kettner and is covered by at least a dozen artists: "What You Won't Do for Love." The guy should get more recognition than he does as one of the all-time best songwriters.

This record definitely sets the mood. If you like the audio samples here, you'll love the entire CD.

"Next Time I Fall" was recorded by Peter Cetera and Amy Grant. Peter Cetera produced Agnetha Faltskog's album "The Last Time" in 1987, and also duetted with her on "I Wasn't The One Who Said Goodbye."

THIS CD SHOULD BE CALLED POT OF GOLD.......2000-06-11

Bobby Caldwell released this album back in 1989 and I must admit to being a huge fan of the Cat In The Hat. This album is my favourite by far and it will appeal to people who like good easy listening late at night music. The album kicks off with the title track which Boz Scaggs also covered on his Other Roads album and as they say the original is the best. The next track Real Thing is pure westcoast pop and the harmonies and backing vocals are truly excellent.

Also on the album is Next Time (I fall In love) which was covered by Agnetha Flakstog (Abba) and Peter Cetera (Chicago) on her album the Last Goodbye. For me the outstanding track is All Or Nothing At All which was also covered by Bill Champlin and Al Jarreau. All Or Nothing features an infectious chorus which you will go around for singing for days after you hear the track, it truly is one of may all all time favourite songs.

Other stand out tracks include Stay With Me and China. You will not be disappointed if you buy this album and I think it is a very good introduction to the talents and genius of Bobby Caldwell.
