Go West "What You Won't Do For Love"

What do Bobby Caldwell, Go West and Boyz II Men have in common? They all recorded "What You Won't Do For Love". For Go West, they were one of over a dozen over bands to remake the Caldwell tune. It  peaked at #3 on the Adult Contemporary Chart in 1993.

The number of remakes of Aretha Franklin's "Until You Come Back to Me" could fill an entire month's worth of blog entries.  Leo Sayer, Cyndi Lauper, Bobby Caldwell, and Richard Elliot are just some of the artists who took Aretha's signature tune out for a drive.  In 1990, Basia found success on the Adult Contemporary Chart with her take on the tune.

Bobby Caldwell - "What You Won't Do For Love"

Have you ever heard someone sing a song and you get this crystal clear image in your head of what he looks like?  After hearing Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do For Love", I imagined that Bobby would look nothing like a cross between Bob Costas and Bruce Wolf.  Alas, I was wrong.  Bobby was part of the blue-eyed soul movement of the late-70s and early-80s.  Don't you think "What You Won't Do For Love" sounded strangely  like a slowed down version of  the "Too Close for Comfort" theme song?
