@@Electricavenuemusic that prophet keyboard is awesome.... I have a group called Naio Band and woild love any left over synthsizers.. please check them out on my youtube page 😁
I was dating a woman named Valerie when the remix of this song hit the charts in the summer of 1987. Loved/love this song, and excellent version here! . . .
How great is that! That must’ve been a great summer for you guys listening to radio together. Thanks for listening, Perry. Let us know if you like any of the other covers we’ve released on here. 🙌🏻
Enjoyed this immensely…especially when remake’s are true to the original song. What adds icing is the instruments are clear and distinct. Most of these original artists recorded their music for AM or Fm radio of the day and very few had a stereo multi track master to fall back on for years later when technology greatly improved…very well done guys.
GREAT cover. But this “underrated” comment with EVERY music video is so overrated and always posted by people wo overrate themselves and have no other way to get some likes.
I don't usually say sincerely flattering things for covers of my favorite songs, but man, the groove on this one is even better than the original! More aggressive drums in the mix really makes the rhythm POP.
The musicians were tight and right on cue. The vocalist put all his energy plus heart and soul into the lyrics. Which is why this is a great cover. Well done...

I was cleaning a car today and this came on the radio, I was gobsmacked as to the incredible production value of the original recording, simply sublime engineering. .....then found this, fantastic guys, thanks for the upload 😎👌
The vocalist really got my attention. I have never felt so good while listening to someone sing before. The hard work he put into singing this song is so inspirational 😉💕🎶
What a question! I am so lucky to have this question directed at me. First off, with the musicians so polished and the exceptional vocal control and tone, I believe anything and everything Electric Avenue attempts to remaster will turn out golden. Answering your question: A couple of songs/artists I want to hear? Kenny Loggins and Kenny Rogers! A couple of songs I have in mind are Heart to Heart (Loggins) and Morning Desire (Rogers). You all playing those songs would definitely give me the goosebumps! I wish continued success and happiness for each and everyone of you.
Not announced yet, but looks like the band will be in your neighborhood in early November. Keep your eyes peeled on www.ElectricAvenueMusic.com If you make it out, come say hello.
I REALLY love the Multimoog synth solo in the original and was waiting to see how that went, just before, I twigged it would be the sax. Well I have to say it sounded fantastic, great tone and overall a great cover lads. Great musicianship. Must be v enjoyable
One of those songs you forget about for years - then re-hear and realise how much it slaps! Great cover guys! Loved the drumming - right in the pocket!
I used to play darts with Stevie back in the day at the local pub! He would be impressed with that, especially like the sax break! On his original Prophet master I thought that was so tight and clean nothing could equal it, but you guys come REAL close! At one stage I had over 10 synths in my home studio sadly now just down to one and piano. 👏👏👏👏👏👍
Cheers man! Steve’s family caught wind of our cover and showed it to him, for which we got some great feedback. Much love to his work and to you for taking the time to listen.
We wholeheartedly agree that it’s such a great signature song for him. It proved that he was not done, as the critics said. Thanks for listening and thank you for the kind compliment.
@@Electricavenuemusic you are welcome! and I agree. It is absolutely BEYOND me how this song did not do better in the charts. It is a relatively unknown song from the 80s (unless you actually lived in that era). Thank you guys for helping us relive, reminisce and reflect such a special decade in music. It such a nostalgic time for me.
What a wonderful song guys. It looked like all of you were having so much fun. Everyone of you played it so well and of course the singer just brought it all together. Great voice buddy and what an awesome song you guys picked. Ok now I have to hear it again.
Hi there! How about trying to play some Yes- It can happen or Leave it. Another good one would be Roger Hodgson-Had a dream or In jeopardy. Supertramp- It's raining again or Give a little bit. Last one which is one I don't hear anymore on the radio. Russ Ballard- Voices. Love what you guys are doing. Good luck.
Im here
WOW 🤩 ⭐️ 👏👏👏🙌 👍👌
Right on... Cheers OSA!
Steve Winwood is a musical genius.
Thanks for checking out the video and choosing to support.
Keyboard is on point and drums .... best cover I've heard
Truth! …and you should see our main man Eric’s vintage keyboard collection. Stunning to say the least.

This is excellent, singer is nailing it.
Thanks for watching!
That’s brilliant - one of my favourite songs of all time!
Right on, Simon! Thanks for checking it out.
Dang you got some pipes!
Cheers man!
The best cover of the 1980s hit. Awesome job guys!
Cheers, Ross! Come say hello if we tour near your home!!
You guys deserve millions of views. So underrated. This is the best cover of Valerie
GREAT cover. But this “underrated” comment with EVERY music video is so overrated and always posted by people wo overrate themselves and have no other way to get some likes.
Or they're just being supportive of something they have enjoyed? 🤷🏻♂️ Let's go with that. Seems more positive.
Thank You! Your kind words are much appreciated. Steve is such a beast of a writer and musician.
Wow, what a great cover. I am a Winwood fan back from the 80s when "Back in the high life" was released and started bying all his older CD's.
Thank You for watching! ❤
It's sad Steve no longer incorporates synthesizers or any of his 80s sounds in his concerts now or even have Valerie on his play list.
I don't usually say sincerely flattering things for covers of my favorite songs, but man, the groove on this one is even better than the original! More aggressive drums in the mix really makes the rhythm POP.
That sax solo…Epic…
Thanks Mark! It's note for note the keyboard solo, we just wanted to be inclusive. Thanks for listening.

I'm addicted to this
You guys NAILED THIS SONG! KEEP ON ROCKIN!!!
Cheers and thanks!
Прекрасное исполнение. Хорошо что ближе к версии 1987 года по аранжировке
Да, точно. Мы во многом основывали его на версии ремикса, которую сделал Том Лорд-Элдж. Спасибо за просмотр!
great cover song
Thank You Francesco!! Hope you check out more of our covers.

Outstanding! Nicely done. And in the correct key. Nice keyboards, I love classic synths.

So tight. Can't wait to see you guys live again.
Great great cover
Thank You Sir!
Espectacular
Thank You!
Excellent cover, guys.
The song is from 1982's "Talking Back to the Night album, the follow-up to his epic "Arc of a Diver," 1981.
Recorded in 1981 at the end of the Arc of Diver sessions... which is why we credit the recording as 1981, not the release date.
Perfect Work! Great vocals, great sax! Enjoyed it a lot and still enjoying! :)
Thanks, BK!
OUTSTANDING! I wish you guys were closer to Ohio!
Not announced yet, but looks like the band will be in your neighborhood in early November. Keep your eyes peeled on www.ElectricAvenueMusic.com If you make it out, come say hello.
