Bobby Caldwell is one of the singers who represents the AOR sound.

Since the late 1970s, he has been active with a music style centered on soul music.

At the time, most artists in what was called Black music were Black.

Although Bobby Caldwell is white, he gained popularity with an authentic sound that rivaled true Black music.

One of his classic songs is “What You Won’t Do for Love.” I think its smooth sound is perfect for a laid-back weekend vibe.
