I’m a bit of a crate digger (a necessity if you produce), but I’ll start of simple with my first contribution to Throwback Thursdays with a double dose ode to one of the most soulful Caucasians of all time, Bobby Caldwell - Funny thing is, alot of folks didn’t even know he was white until his first video dropped because his single/album cover only showed a silhouette of him. Shout out to JT and Robin Thicke, and NO shout out to YBT (Young Black Teenagers)…LOL Two of my favorite tracks of all time, Common’s “The Light” produced by my man Dilla and Biggie’s “Sky’s The Limit” produced by DJ Clark Kent both sampled Bobby Caldwell -“Open Your Eyes” and “My Flame” respectively. And for good measure I’ll toss in his timeless hit “What You Won’t Do For Love” which has been sampled numerous times by numerous artists (2pac’s “Do For Love” and Luniz “Playa Hata” being a few of many).Click on through for all the tracks and make sure to peep again on Mixtape Monday for a 40+ song mixtape with all classic soul joints (many of them sampled for big hip hop tracks) by my man Dj Pump.
