That's not a wind machine. That's just Windwood's aura of awesomeness.
Great reply. Saw Winwood with Steely Dan last week in Dublin. An aura of awesomeness.
"Windwood" I see what you did there. LOL!
That was a priceless comment! Way to go. Love me some Winwood since the Spencer Davis Group!!
LittleMissLeared lol true
The guy is amazing, reinvented himself with each decade.As a young kid in '83 i was hearing his current stuff but also wondering if that was the same guy i heard doing gimme some lovin'.
Fun fact: Winwood played EVERY instrument on this song completely on his own.
He's super talented why do people have to make negative comments if you've got nothing good to say then don't say shit!
Heidi Falzon Explaining things is being negative now?
adamweishaupt81 thanks for the memory
adamweishaupt81 Stevie Winwood- the Wonder Boy of Rock!!
adamweishaupt81 But Heidi, on THIS track you can tell from a mile away it's a drum machine (he still had to program it BTW) and multiple synthesizer tracks. No actual bass guitar. Doesn't take away from Steve at all; actually it's great he opened up to the then new tech!
45 and still loving Steve Winwood. Reminds me of a time I can never get back to and that will never exist again........
Yes, i think The same.
70 now, former touring player, and forever in awe of the oldtimers (like Steve Winwood)
75, and I miss real music
Valarie here 🙋🏻♀️
why has no one... um, well: Valerieeeeeeeeee, call on me! Call on meeeeeeee, Valerie. 🤷🏻🫣 ok, I'll see myself out 🤣
@@danielversion1.035 😂😂😂
You've been summoned.
😂
Good evening, Valarie. Nice meeting you.
I babysit an 8 month old little girl named Valerie. I sing this to her all the time and she smiles so big.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That's the sweetest thing I've read in a while
moonlitenmagic that's great!!
❤
That's awesome.
I spent years looking for this song. Heard it on a classic rock station, never remembered the song name/lyrics or artist. Got the record that it was on from my mom in February, put it on said album a few nights ago and jumped for joy in front of my roommate who thought I went nuts when it started playing.
"Dude! Why you freaking out?"
"I've been looking for this song for over 15 years since I heard it when I was 16" (just turned 32 on Sunday)
I called my music friends who I use to track down certain songs, screaming "I'm not crazy! I found it! It's called "Valerie" by Steve Winwood. I knew it existed!"
It's the little things in life like these moments I enjoy the most.
Eccezionale top...Grazie Steve
AWEEEE
@Steve Winwood LOL
I just found out what the song is called when watching Peter Kay Car Share Deleted Scenes Classic song
I JUST FOUND IT TODAY!!! Years and years of searching!!!
I'm Valerie. My friends always sang this to me. Love it.
Congrats, Steve thought of you when he wrote and performed this great song.
Hi Valerie. If we ever meet, I will sing it to you on karaoke.
@@musicman201047 thank you so much that is very kind of you. Till we meet
My name is Valerie and my parents played this song for me all the time as a kid. I still love it. ❤
That is awesome.
Then your parents have a good taste, Valerie.😉
Which version did they like more? This one or the 1987 version that Winwood made?
To me this is the most fresh and authentic Steve Winwood sound. Both are good but this one has soul. @@kenhawkins6641
That's really cool 😎 👍
"Hey, do you want a big crowd of groupies for this video?"
"No. Just one big fan."
Ooooooh.
And a green screen.
😂😂😂
Having a laugh
hysterical!
I'm a 44 year old Black Man from Plainfield, New Jersey who loves Steve Winwood joints, especially this joint, Valerie, Higher Love, Back In The High Life, Roll With It, and Don't You Know What The Night Can Do!
…have you checked out his early work with “Traffic”, “Spencer Davis Group”, and “Blind Faith”…
I lived in Rahway scotch plains
No one cares what colour you are.
I highly recommend listening to The Finer Things. Great song by Steve Winwood.
I'm a 42 year old white guy from Texas and now that you mention those other song names, I recognize them from growing up and I'm going to listen to them again! Thanks for the recommendations!
Dude has a solid career spanning decades.
Stevie Winwood underrated one of Englands finest artists
I have always considered Steve Winwood's voice to be a musical instrument of its own.
Well his voice is used for the song call on me by Eric Prydz
@@boerebru Bro, that's the worst way you could have phrased that..
He re-recorded the song just so Eric Prydz could sample it. Just found this out today.
@@ezradlionel711 So ipso facto used his voice?
I don't get what your intent is here.
@@boerebru If you had said "Well Eric Prydz sampled this song for Call on me" I wouldn't have said anything.
"Used his voice" sounds pretty ambiguous to me. His voice wasn't some ancillary instrument on the track, it's the entire song. Plus it wasn't originally Eric's song -- he took a Daft Punk members DJ loop and got the rights to do a full arrangement and had to re-do the song because he couldn't get rights for the Master.
So when you say use his voice, I think you're glossing over a bunch of stuff.
@@ezradlionel711 My comment is in relation to the comment before that said he considers Steve Winwood's voice an instrument and I was basically saying your not alone cause it got used like an instrument in the song Call on me. Why you got to make a mountain out of an ant hill?
Director: How much wind do you want?
Steve Winwood: Yes.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Steve Wind-wood
Negotiable arbitration for sport
@Dusan Jovcic - I was thinking the exact same thing! 👍😄
All of it. I want all the wind.
Its the addictive chorus for me... "Valerriee!!!" 😍😍😍
Ahh the 80's...irreplaceable times and unforgettable music😎I love it here!
I got the 69th like!
The best time to grow up. Millions of happy memories! I miss that world so much!!
This song seems to represent the 80s in a way, brings me back to a better place and time.
This song came out twice in 80s. I believe this is original 82 one. I can’t find later one. This better, but would like to here other version.
@@dirk.1979 I wasn't into music when it first came out, but the remake i then was, so I have a bias toward that. But the original I still like listening to as well.
Steve Winwood is the most non-threatening, good-looking pop star
he looks like the green goblin
What about Richard marks?
Handsome man and love listening to interviews with him. Such a legend since he was a young kid
Rick Astley
@@buddette5513 have you looked in the mirror recently?
Fun fact: Winwood played EVERY instrument on this song completely on his own.
Damn scrubbing bubbles attacking his keyboard while he's trying to play!
He played most of the instruments on his debut record as well. He played ALL of the instruments on Arc of a Diver and Talking Back to the Night, with the exception of some additional engineering and backing vox. The guy is brilliant!!!
And he even re-sang the lyrics for eric prydz' cover
Windwood plays enough musical instruments for an entire band.
Bawhahahahaaaa🤣
Did he do the mixdown? It sounds like someone rolled off every frequency under 500 hz.... Maybe it's just this TH-cam video?
By God's Grace, If I am to be blessed with a daughter, she'll be Valerie
I did. I called my daughter Valerie
Same here. I named my latest prodigy Valerie!
My wife is named is Valerie. I always joke, your favorite song is on. She just rolls her eyes at me, lol.
@@guyverfanboyHELP. 😭 My name is Valerie.
Tengo una sobrina llamada valeria
Very good Memories,thank you eighties!❤️❤️😊😊
Thumbs up if you brought YOURSELF here.
My mom dropped me off. She'll be back at 6
Yup
Same!
Had this bit of lyric rolling around, knew it was Winwood just had to find the song. "call on me, I'm the same boy I use to be"
Being at publix and hearing this song brought me here
I'm building a time machine back to the 80s, who's comin?
Frank Scaturro take me with you tf
I'm all in!
Me!
Absolutely and can watch true Football Again!
Take me with you from Lima Perú! !
I was describing this song to someone about a month ago and they told me that it was "Call on Me" by Eric Prydz. I went to listen to that and I was like, "Yeah, I guess this is it but I thought it had more lyrics. Guess I was wrong." Then today I just happened to come across this and instantly knew this was the song I was actually looking for! So glad I found this version. At least I can watch this video at work (unlike Prydz's remix)! LOL
All his songs from this period sound melancholic yet hopeful. I think he has a rare gift. A great songwriter.
Perfect description.
Inspirational
Winwood is amazing!!!!!
Yes, Steve epitomizes soul and grit and grace.
ONG BRUH not to mention his jazz upbringing. i love when jazz musos write pop songs
That hair... That keyboard solo... That glorious chorus...
I will never be this cool.
My dad, 73, used to get the train to birmingham to watch this guy perform in pubs in over 50 years ago before he became popular. Love them both
See: Blind Faith
Your dad probably went to see Steve when he was lead singer in Spencer Davis Group!! See Give Me Some Lovin!
@@ainsleyscarlet9027 I see what you did there...
Your dad and Steve Winwood are of similar age then.
❤️❤️
This is an outstanding 80s pop song that still sounds new. Steve Winwood is an actual genius. Never sounds old, never sounds strange. An incredible artist.
Probably got his share
I saw him open for Tom Petty a few years back and he somehow sounded better than the studio tracks. We were sitting on his side of the stage too, so it was wild to see someone that I heard as a young child, play these songs from multiple periods when I was growing up. Very surreal, but note for note on every instrument and singing, it felt fresh as ever.
I agree, 1 of the best of all time I think.👍🎶😊
Thanks Mr. Winwood ✨... happy Valentine's Valerie...💌...🌹..2-14-23...🕊️...
One of the most talented musicians during my lifetime (I'm 72). This is a great song too.
This song made me pick up keyboards. Then when I heard VH 5150. Forget it, I was sucked in. This is most memorable song from early teens.
72 and still rocking how awesome
67 & still loving Stevie. One of the most underrated musicians of our time.
Another cool song?
@@kevinjustus671 I'm 40, not far behind ya. time is getting faster lol. you know what i mean.
Once he gets Valerie back, he will find the Higher Love. Then he will be Back in the High Life again.
😂
That won't happen til hes sees a chance to take it.
I see what u did there
Then he'll be Feelin' Alright.
Dear Mr Fantasy, what is wrong with these guys.
Eric Prydz sampling this was genius because this song is epic
Fun fact, he didn’t actually come up with that sample, it was Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk fame. Bangalter and DJ Falcon had a duo act called Together and they played it during a live set, a recording of which had gotten around in DJ circles.
Ministry of Sound knew about it and wanted to release it because it’d be a huge hit but the duo said no, mainly because they hadn’t cleared the sample.
So MoS basically plucked Prydz from their stable and said “remake this”, then got Winwood in to re-record the song because he didn’t own the masters anymore.
Prydz has since come out and said he hates the song because it’s all he’s known for now and it’s not at all his sound.
@@ShadowSliph whoa!! thanks for sharing I obviously never knew this!!! I used to study to this song lol keeping it on repeat for hours.
@@VivianMcallwhat was the comment ? I can't see it. Was it deleted ?
Anyways, iirc, from a video of David Guetta talking with Armand van Helden, they said that it was actually one of the Daft Punk guys who first sampled it and played it at a club, but they didn't want to make a music track out of it. But others heard the track and then labels wanted and it hired Eric Prydz to do it.
@@brendanspencer6735 One thing that could be possibly in that deleted comment is the fact that Steve Winwood was so impressed with Prydz's track that he newly recorded the iconic chorus for it.
He stole it.
Try to sing this song yourself, and you will realize this guy has a power voice that is pretty beyond. Also i like he seem so easy going happy almost in love on that record. Very uplifting.
A lovely song written about Valerie Carter, a great singer with a great voice, who in fairly recent years sang backing vocals on all James Taylor's tours and albums. She got back into drugs during a low period in her life and Taylor supported her throughout, appearing at her drug rehabilitation ceremony. She passed away of a heart attack in 2017. She was a beautiful lady with natural talent. She was riding high when this was written about her. Rest in peace, Valerie.
she also sang with eddie money on least one song to
Is that girl in the background really her??
@@NathanPlays395 not Val, here's Val & Linda;
th-cam.com/video/iYatLOZApgA/w-d-xo.html
@@scotts.7662 That looks like her.
Also my friend is called Scott. :)
NotMarkKnopfler that’s actually pretty awesome you know that and shared it. Just brightened my quarantined life up.
This is an incredible classic. I still cannot sit still when I listen even at the age of 63. Let's go keep moving everyone
What do you mean at 63 you still can't sit still.....I'm nearly 70 with extensive arthritis and I defo won't keep still !!!!!!! Listening to this....just bless your good health and keep rocking
66 and feel the same.
17 and i feel the same way good sir (:
Beatles?
Well i feel 83 but im 13 and i listen to the beatles
I'm 65 and I have loved this song from the time it was released. ❤❤❤ and I still love it. Definitely a timeless and majical piece of music. Thanks Steve.
It's the best!
Is that really how you think 'magical' is spelled?!
@@kevinrockwell6442 Come on, he obviously made a mistake. Don't be mean.
@@kevinrockwell6442 It's just a typo. Get over it
How do you not LOVE this song??? Its so romantic.
This man has the greatest voice. A true vocal genius.
I love just how 80's the 80's actually were.
123Jokkmokk123 Because it is the 80s.
80's
That's so redundant. And very redundant.
Ah yes the floor is made of floor
My Jeff is name.
I’m from Guatemala when I was a kid I heard this song I fell in love with it only heard it once until today on a deli store and it clicked again
It seems like a simple song, but the melody, the vocals and the synth arrangement ist marvelous! And its just one man - Steve!
Perfect layered keyboards, vocals, and hair. Timeless
Stevie Winwood - one of the best pipes in the business. Go way back and listen to him with Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith, etc. One of the most recognizable voice, second to none in his class.😃
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT!
I never thought about it...but yeah...it's special ❤️
First time I ever heard Steve sing was on "Can't find my way home". Been a fan ever since.
Yes, a really amazing voice.
He sings like a brother. If you listen to his early music, you'd swear it was a brother singing. The dude has serious soul.
I love this song! My name is Valerie. I always wished Steve was singing this to me.
He is!
Another God Send from the GREAT DECADE - The Rockin 80s - Thank you, Stevie - Beautiful !!!
Steve if you're reading this, you we're 25 years ahead of the curve. Your music will live on forever.
It sure will: th-cam.com/video/qetW6R9Jxs4/w-d-xo.html
No doubt about it 🙂
I like this song, my name
Absolutely not, it's a piece of its time as clearly indicated by the 80s style it's produced in.
A classic, surely, but not something you'd hear on the radio in 2007 and think "wow, love the new release" or "wow, this classic sounds like it could have been released today".
@@kriss.7716 An inferior version, called “call on me” was on the radio all the time in 2004. Maybe that’s what OP was referring to
This song is the reason I named my daughter Valerie.
Barbara Waite Aaww 💜
That is cute
That’s why my mom named me Valerie too 😂
Good enough reason for me
God bless you dude!
Happy Birthday, Valerie!!❤🎉 To someone who is as beautiful as the song!!!
Crazy how someone made a whole song sampling this.
You know what it is.
Absolute the best decade in music ever . long live 80's !
And a great conservative president too! Ronald Reagan 1981-1989
gb
it was the soundtrack of my life back in the 80`s lol alot of great music
+Reuben Binyamin it really was.
+Mike smith Fuck Ronald Reagan
Oh my god!!! I've been looking for this song for ages and just now found it. Heard it once in the radio and the frickin song never played again, so I was left with the unintelligible chorus (I wasn't paying attention much and the reception wasn't really good in the car), until it hit me that what the guy was saying was "Valerie" & here it is. God, feeling #accomplished! :)
I know what you mean. I don't love it, though.
Наверное, ты самый счастливый человек на свете, когда находишь вожделенную песню, которую искал целую вечность.
What an excellent comment ! We've all been there .
I hear this song all the time on the radio...though it is the 1987 version
I feel you, I once had the "laaaa la la la la la" part from Elton John's "Crocodile Rock" stuck in my head I couldn't for the life of me remember what damn song it was. Randomly, while I was at an amusement park, they played it over the radio and I finally recognized his voice. It was such an awesome feeling.
I was born in 1984, my father died the same year. This song came out in 1987, and I remember always loving it because it had my name. And I always thought of it as Steve had a thing for Valerie, but now hearing each and every lyric at age 40, it takes on a whole new meaning for me. I even took jazz class for my whole childhood. Always had a hard time connecting with him being that we never met. Thanks Steve❤ 😭❤️💖🤍🥲
This man reeks with pure sexiness, class, style, and rhythmic lyrics that flow into your “soul”. I play Steve’s music so much, and will continue to play until the day I die, and I know my music.
Steve is definitely in the upper echelon of greatest singing voices in rock.
His voice is distinctive, and you know it's him.
This isn't rock, it's pop.
Closer to Adult Contemporary during those times. Great singer/songwriter though...
💯
"Then she just blew away...', I'm surprised Steve doesn't get blown away in this clip!
+Richard Albert Henderson Ha! Except that he's saying "Flew away." ;)
Missy G I just googled all the lyric sites and all except one says "she blew'!! It could be wrong but since there is so much wind going on in the video I'll go with "blew" just for fun.......
Sounds perfect!
Omg they just don't do music like this anymore. True talent
70 in july..and enjoyed the 80's song when taking him to school ..he is now 42..memories to the grave...higher love ❤❤❤❤..long life with good health. Dear Stevie....
one of the most under-rated song's of the 80's
No it's not. It was a hit song. It was on the radio all the time.
@@perfektspace This version from 1982 was. The remix was re-released for his 1987 greatest hits album to capitalize on the success of Back In The High Life.
STOP SPAMMING your "underrated" sht on youtube.
Underrated? Rubbish 🗑
turn it up
why don't we have good songs like this anymore? i'm dead tired of hearing about drinking, cars, money, sex and whatnot. i love their beats and music (sometimes) but the content is old. We need more guys like John Lennon, Steve Winwood, and other greats from the old days around. back when love was from the heart and wasn't synonymous sex (as far as today's music goes). i know some songs by today's artists are good like this but we need more.
You can't generalise music like that. According to you, music now has all these references to alcohol, money and sex, but you're forgetting that music has ALWAYS had references to all of these.
Go ahead and tell me that John Lennon NEVER wrote a song about sex, or drinking, or drugs for that matter...
rickesh28 yeah, but that stuff is more prominent in songs today
Couldn't agree with you more! This is actually tuneful, not like some of the re-invented versions that are just utter shite!
***** Don't go on about the 'wrong generation' shit I am only 36!! I have listened to a lot of modern music actually and whilst there are some that don't mention money, sex or drugs, they are very few and far between! I appreciate people who are able to write their own music and do it well like Adele, not people who just produce random noises from a synthesizer that is on a loop! There is nothing remotely musical about that!
Oh FFS really? "Music was better in my day". You should be embarrassed spurting such cliched claptrap with a straight face. Even Alvin and the Chipmunks, the animated series, pointed out the moronic hypocrisy of this sentiment in the 80's and that is HARDLY a bastion of social criticism. If you think music today is rubbish, that says more about you than music; you're not looking hard enough (read 'at all') and you mistake music that 'you like' as the only material with merit. Neither make for a very robust opinion.
❤✨❤🌟❤✨❤Stevie was so insanely talented and all but forgotten. This is when music was music; uplifting and inspiring joy. We love you Stevie❤✨❤🌟❤✨❤
Someone in 2024, listening...🔥🙌
Here!
Me this song is 🔥
Enjoying
This song is great 👏
listening since 2020, without interruption...
Grew up hearing his stuff. Wasn’t old enough to appreciate just how talented the man is. He still sounds good.
Absolutely same with me.
for real. Check out Call on Me by Eric Prydz. Prydz sampled Steve's original vocals from this song for the original version of that song and Steve was so impressed when he was shown it that he re-recorded these vocals just for Prydz's song. I swear he sounds the exact same
@Evan Hodge We sure do. I turned 50 this year. Thought Jordan, Sanders, and Manning would play forever. Layne and Cornell were my favorites. Earnhardt was The Intimidator.
To God be the Glory♥️
Ya reckon...listen to him at 15 singing So glad You Made It.(gimme some loving everyday)
Steve Winwood is an amazing singer and musician. One of the best. Great voice.
He Is the best
One of the greatest synth leads ever!
My mom's name was Valerie...this song always reminds me of her...
Damn! From now on this song will always remind me of your mom.
Yeah every time I play this song your mom calls me 🤦
He is the UK's Stevie Wonder. He can play everything, and sing beautifully. And he's been doing it since the mid-sixties.
Awesome song.
More like the UK's prince Rodgers Nelson
And he can see!
@@Breakfast_and_Bullets lmao
Yes. A child prodigy just like Stevie Wonder.
Fun fact: Valerie is the most 80s sounding song ever recorded.
Bruh, that title goes to starship - sarah
@@Tseuq4gninaem Shut up, that goes to We Built This City...or this.
My opinion: Go west- king of wishful thinking
Haha. This is probably the most beautiful chain of comments I've ever read. All of you are a bunch of beautiful souls for remembering the 80s at it's prime. Have a great day guys and god bless you all! :')
E McK ok, just opinion, wasn’t being serious since it was a 90s song anyways.
My favorite 80s will never die
This song and Eric Prydz Call on Me are the ones with the chorus that has stuck on my mind for a long time. Steve Winwood's music and his voice is always good to listen to cheer up your mood. 😊😊😊
The "Call on Me" house loop was actually originally done by the Daft Punk duo in their pre-Daft Punk DJ sets, but they didn't bother to make a single out of it. I think they were goaded into letting it happen, but let Eric Prydz take the credits
@@nathanbutcher7720 Alright, I didn't know. But I'm glad that Eric managed to make a single out of it anyway. :)
@@nathanbutcher7720it was half of daft punk & DJ falcon
yeah, and also the original set is from 2002, even if some ppl think they heard it, they probably didn't - its from a live set thats only available online iirc @@senororlando2
This song: few seconds of "call on me, call on me"
Eric Prydz: bruh I just got an idea
Actually it's Thomas bangalter and DJ falcon.
I thought the same
Actually, Eric didn't had any f**ing idea, it was Thomas Bangalter & DJ falcon idea. th-cam.com/video/fmk26C-qi5c/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=hudsonlotus
don't forget " I'm the same boy I use to be".
Eric pydz - good song, but can it be done with less lyrics
Stevie Winwood is an absolute genius.
Beauty. Loved him since I was a kid. Lots of his music on the movie “date with an Angel.”
This makes me want to throw the biggest 80s party and invite you all 🎉🎸🥁🎹
Steve Winwood was a purveyor of a type of pop that was uniquely honest and unpretentious.
Stu B Well put.
Facts
Except for the Bee Gees wind machine, that's a little pretentious lol
His wind blown hair isn't from a machine, it's just how awesome he is!
Haha 😂
Spiritual, soulful..whatever you want to call it it touches you deep down, he has that gift and ‘while you see a chance’ is as special, it gives me the urgency to not give up on love..I’m a 64 year old widower and haven’t given up yet! 💙
The solo in this song blows me away every time. The tone and the phrasing are tremendous.
It's a brilliant and beautiful song.
That cheesy synth solo? I don’t know what you’re smoking, Mike, but I need some.
Same! SW's voice gives me goosebumps, and when the synth goes "booooooomBIP" it just hits so good
@@neonmeate8180 it was the 80's, synths ruled the airwaves, play it on a sax or trumpet, it's a solid little solo. Fit the song very well.
THIS SONG IS STILL GREAT 2020🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
2021
Been listening to music since the 1960's. Have to say that 80's songs are the easiest to listen too and the most pleasant out of everything I've heard so far.
When I was a kid, I did not appreciate the power of this song's chorus. When it drops ... man! ... well done, Steve. Well done.
Booooooom BIP bmmbmm bm boooom BIP
This is more than a great song, its a legacy.
Iconically, 80s..... legendary Winwood ....great voice. Great tune.
100%
Got that right Manny! 💜
Definitely
"Valerieeieeieee, call on me

@@FranklySpeaking73 Haha true but It's the *heart* that matters more
God I love this song. A perfect example of how pop music can actually be awesome at times.
Amen! You get no argument from me.

This guy is underrated as he has produced his craft since I was a toddler and I am 60. Give him credit, great talent and showman in concert.
And while most of us think of him as a keyboard player, he is also a very talented guitarist!
“Do you want a guitar solo in this song? It’s what everyone’s doing.”
“Nope. Hand me my Casio.”
How bout a sax?
CASIO.
"How about a classic flu-"
"Casio."
"Maybe some strings and-"
*"CASIO"*
- or...
- no. casio.
So great
And a poor solo to boot.
We bought that wind machine and dammit, we're going to get our money's worth.
Donna reed,muskogee,ok.1995
lllllooool
Hehe, you got it. The wind blew our way back then.
That was funny . lol
Hey, practical effects still better than most CGI they use today. Tay Tay should have used some of the 80's effects for her album 1989.
This song brings back many wonderful memories, “So cool, she was like jazz on a summers day”. Love that line!
same--that line always stands out and I sing to it....:)
I have had this song sung to me since a teen, it never grows old, although I am 55 💜
Ditto, When the song first came out in the 80's I was dating a beautiful Brazilian named Valeria. I can guarantee that it won't get old when you're 75 either.
Valerieeeeeeeee!
I get Sweet Caroline sung to me too much, so I know what you mean, Valerie. 😆 🤣 😂
@@DevonPoopoo Call on meeeeeeee
@@bradsanders407 cooooome and seeeee meeee
This song was such a big hit that Casio used it in their pocket keyboards as a demonstration. No lie!
Damn you just took me back in the time machine of awesome!!!
Pocket keyboards? for laptops?
Really? That's cool. I had a small Yamaha home keyboard in the 80s which had "Just the way you are" by Billy Joel as the demo!
No. Keyboards are electronic pianos.
Mine had Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go." lol
I miss this kind of feel-good music, it's so much harder to find in anything new.

Have you heard the songs he sang on with the Spencer Davis Group, in the 60s, they make you feel good.
The same can be said, for the songs he wrote with Traffic too. In fact they make you feel really good. 😉
I'm not sure it's "feel good" exactly. I guess it could be, but the song is about the late Valerie Carter, who had a serious drug problem and was very much a tragic figure on the LA music scene of the time.
moody blues do this for me on a daily basis
Big facts
One of the best songs ever. "I'm the same boy I used to be" is one of the lyrics that touches me the most ♥
Agree
That lyric blew right by when I was . . . a 16 year old boy. Now it devastates and I know exactly what he means.
ong brother
Always bothered me that this song never got as big as some of Winwood’s others. It’s really one of his best compositions. Deserves more covers than it has.
Probably not covered too much as he nailed it 👍
This was a monster hit - massive airplay. You must have been hiding in a cave,or weren't born yet.
Now it’s a huge DJ mix song sang by someone else, and sampling Steve’s voice..
@@westcoast_johnny he re-recorded the lines to better fit the Call On Me sample. 👌
@@daryljones9367 That's a great fun fact! Grew up liking the chorus, only to hear it in a great (to me) cover.
If this weren't a Steve Winwood song, it would've most certainly been a Phil Collins song.
+Hambone Jones I was looking for Phil Collins + Call on Me, but TH-cam insisted that this was the song I wanted to listen to. They got it.
+Cícero M. Same here!! Except, I thought Eric Prydz was singing "Follow Me"
I agree lol. there is no other beats like theirs.
Hambone Jones so true!
I used to think that this was a Phil Collins song..
The first minute of this song...is authentic 80's music 🎵🎵🎵
I heard this song this morning on the local FM station. I had to look it up on TH-cam. What a great example of the perfect Pop song and song smithing. So crafty and simple and right to the point.The video is so simple and really gets to the point of Steve’s great talent and the way he developed his voice and approach. Just a normal guy dreaming about a girl back when things were simpler. I think that pretty much came to an end in the 80s,Period.a great song is timeless. Steve isn’t on my radar, and with the venues I listen to he doesn’t seem to come up much. It improved my morning, for the moment, and I just wanna thank Steve Winwood for his efforts! Also to the people who post great music and artists. I see great musical artists as the unsung heroes, I’m sure their parents wanted them to become lawyers or doctors. But they follow their hearts and make our moments in life sustainable.❤
I was in my early teens when this came out. It’s still a great jam to this day.
This song never ages. A true sign of a classic. Found myself wandering around the supermarket yesterday singing along to it.
Witch supermarket?
Same, I heard it in a Bartell's drug store and sang along to the whole thing!
I don't know if it's just me, but I think Steve Winwood is too underrated.
I totally agree, Junior!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😎😎😎😎😎
I'm with you! I saw him on the Back in the High Life tour but I like his older stuff better
Hugely underrated
@@robertsimon5869 I totally agree with you. Steve Winwood is multitalented...not only a unique vocalist and songwriter but also a multi instrumentalist. He has such an extensive body of work that defies description. It often seems that our most prolific and distinctive artists have more low-keyed careers in spite of their towering talent. Thanks for your comment. Blessings to you & all.
I always liked this song. What has shocked me is finding out Steve Winwood was the lead singer of the Spencer Davis Group and in Traffic. No idea he cowrote “I’m A Man” and “Gimme Some Lovin’.” So surprised! I am 66 and they were just a few years before I really started getting into music. Love the songs but did not know it was him. Such talent!
It’s incredible how music can take you back to a place that you forgot. I was 6 years old when this came out. I still know all the words to the whole album. Yet, I forget my kids names 🤦🏼♀️😂
Could have named one Valerie, that gets you at least 1 right 😅
@@peacefrog0521 😂😂 where were you when I needed you 😂
Songs been bringing goosebumps since 1982. Wow. Incredible pipes on the chorus.
