...Original & 20th Anniversary


The first is a classic, however over time i'm starting to favor the anniversary version.



Music for adventurous listeners

Very nice. I saw him in concert. Some people next to me didn't know that he is not a brotha.

.. I can dig on the 20th Anniversary Version, but only because it's Bobby C on vocals.

I've loved everything Mr. Caldwell's every recorded, produced, and written. I wonder how much of the record company hang ups about him being white impeded his career in the States. Even so, when I lived in Japan for a couple of years that man was bigger than MJ. If they had seen either gentlemen in the subway, they would've pushed MJ onto the third rail to get to Bobby.

Periodically I'll go on YouTube to read the comments. I find it hilarious that folks to this day are still discovering that he's white, and I'm talking about folks in their 30's and older. I have that anthology and I've only played that version once or twice. I couldn't get into it. I'll try listening again.

Have to say, I like both.

The people next to me thought he was coming out to do a cover. They were told, that IS Bobby Caldwell.
