Keeping it blue eyed soul & following JJ's lead, here is Daryl Hall with Chromeo also doing I Can't Go For That & Boz Scaggs' Lowdown. I liked the version with Chromeo better...






& speaking of Chromeo... Here's their new one with Toro Y Mo, Come Alive. I think you could call this blue eyed soulish...

Bobby Caldwell has got to be the most important white person in hip-hop, classic sample after classic sample, I'm glad I came in this thread

This. People always think Bobby Caldwell is black, I can forgive that. But, folks ain't know Jay Kay was white?


But, while the OG version of What You Won't Do For Love is greatly appreciated, the covers and samples it inspired are

Namely:

Montell Jordan on NY Undercover
Phyllis Hyman
Raheem DeVaughn - My Soul Ain't For Sale

My dude psk, always dropping the music for the people. Avy check! Been a fan of Jamiroquai for a few years now, always in rotation. And Hiatus Kaiyote was the last group I wrote about before I went on hiatus from writing on my blog, SWIDT?

Jamiroquai is an incredible band . been a fan since "Virtual Insanity" and "Space Cowboy"

Bobby Caldwell is one of my favorite artists . apologies if it hasnt been posted yet , but "Sky is the Limit" was also sampled from his track "My Flame"



also for you Steely Dan fans -- Michael McDonald is the back up vocalist for "Peg" during the chorus
