    Tommy Caldwell (9 November 1949 - 28 April 1980) was the bass player and original frontman for the Marshall Tucker Band between 1973 and 1980.
    The band formed in 1972 with founding members Doug Gray (vocalist), George McCorkle (rhythm guitarist), Paul Riddle (drummer), Jerry Eubanks (flutist), and brothers Toy (lead guitar) and Tommy Caldwell (bassist and front man). They soon signed with Capricorn Records and by 1973, had released their first LP, The Marshall Tucker Band. Franklin Wilkie was also an original bassist, but was replaced by Tommy Caldwell.

    He died from injuries suffered in a jeep crash on April 28, 1980. As well as being the frontman who worked the crowd, he also sang background vocals and wrote several songs, including "Melody Ann," which was the only song he ever performed lead vocals on. His last performance with the band was on 18 April 1980. Brother of bandmate Toy Caldwell.
