Caldwell's hit single, What You Won't Do For Love, shot to the top 10 on Billboard Hot 100 in 1978 and broke barriers in the R&B genre.
Caldwell had been battling a long illness, his wife, Mary Caldwell, said. He was 71.
His songs have since been sampled across genres by artists ranging from Tupac Shakur and Common to Ella Mai.
He would later transition to song-writing, penning tunes for Neil Diamond and Roberta Flack.
