So this is one of those serendipitous situations where I was recently checking out the Reggae artist Otis Gayle's track "I'll Be Around" and saw he also did a track called "What You Won't Do For Love"(which is a cover of Bobby Cadwell's original 1978 What You Won't Do For Love). Pac had serious knowledge (of music) and continues to prove it to me even 15 years after he has been gone. I first heard his version in the mid 90s, went on to research and listen to a ton of Hip Hop and Reggae and it still took me 15 years to find Otis Gayle and then figure out this track was essentially a cover of Bobby Caldwell. Respect the roots.
