Bobby Caldwell would be known as a journeyman songwriter. He has recorded and toured for himself to success around the world, especially in Japan. Written many a songs over the years, for himself and for others, but the only other "hit" other than this song, was "Next Time I Fall" for Amy Grant and Peter Cetera. He has written for several movies we well.
Here in the states, he is known mostly for this song, released in late 1978 and reached #9 on the charts. The album and the single was marketed with just his silhouette, since the aim was to R&B stations, and the company didn't want them to know that he was white. It didn't make any difference as the single took off on R&B and pop stations. It did surprise many a person seeing him in concert for the first time however....
