Bobby Caldwell, a soulful RnB singer and songwriter who had a major hit in 1978 with What You Won't Do for Love, has died, his wife said Wednesday.

Mary Caldwell said that he died in her arms at their home in Great Meadows, New Jersey, on Tuesday, after a long illness. He was 71.

The smooth soul jam What You Won't Do for Love went to No 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No 6 on what was then called the Hot Selling Soul Singles chart. It became a long-term standard and career-defining hit for Caldwell, who also wrote the song.

The song was covered by artists, including Boyz II Men and Michael Bolton, and was sampled by Tupac Shakur on his posthumously released song, Do For Love.

Other Caldwell songs were sampled by hip-hop artists including The Notorious BIG, Common, Lil Nas X and Chance the Rapper.

Stories abound, many of them shared on social media after his death, of listeners being surprised to learn that Caldwell was white and not black.

Caldwell appeared only in silhouette on the self-titled debut solo album, which includes What You Won't Do for Love.

"Caldwell was the closing chapter in a generation in which record execs wanted to hide faces on album covers so perhaps maybe their artist could have a chance," Questlove said on Instagram. “Thank you for your voice and gift #BobbyCaldwell.”

Chance the Rapper shared a screenshot on Instagram of a direct message exchange he had with Caldwell last year when he asked to use his music.

“I'll be honored if you sample my song,” Caldwell wrote.

“You are such an inspiration to me and many others,” Chance told him. He said in the post that he had never been thanked for sampling a song before and has “not felt broken like this at a stranger's passing in so long".

Born in New York and raised in Miami, Caldwell was the son of singers who hosted a musical variety TV show called Suppertime. A multi-instrumentalist, he began performing professionally at 17, and got his break playing guitar in Little Richard's band in the early 1970s. In the mid-70s, Caldwell played in various bar bands in Los Angeles before landing a solo record deal.

He would never have a hit that came close in prominence to What You Won't Do for Love, but he released several respected albums, including 1980s Cat in The Hat — on which he appeared prominently on the cover wearing a fedora — and 1982's Carry On, on which he was his own producer and played all the instruments.

His song Open Your Eyes from Cat in The Hat was covered by John Legend and sampled by Common on his Grammy-nominated 2000 single The Light.

In the 1990s, Caldwell shifted to recording and performing American standards, including songs made popular by Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole he loved in his youth.

In addition to Mary, his wife of 19 years, Caldwell is survived by daughters Lauren and Tessa and stepdaughter Katie.

THREE POSSIBLE REPLACEMENTS

Khalfan Mubarak
The Al Jazira playmaker has for some time been tipped for stardom within UAE football, with Quique Sanchez Flores, his former manager at Al Ahli, once labelling him a “genius”. He was only 17. Now 23, Mubarak has developed into a crafty supplier of chances, evidenced by his seven assists in six league matches this season. Still to display his class at international level, though.

Rayan Yaslam
The Al Ain attacking midfielder has become a regular starter for his club in the past 15 months. Yaslam, 23, is a tidy and intelligent player, technically proficient with an eye for opening up defences. Developed while alongside Abdulrahman in the Al Ain first-team and has progressed well since manager Zoran Mamic’s arrival. However, made his UAE debut only last December.

Ismail Matar
The Al Wahda forward is revered by teammates and a key contributor to the squad. At 35, his best days are behind him, but Matar is incredibly experienced and an example to his colleagues. His ability to cope with tournament football is a concern, though, despite Matar beginning the season well. Not a like-for-like replacement, although the system could be adjusted to suit.
