"Higher Love" is a celebrated song by English artist Steve Winwood, released on June 20, 1986, as the lead single from his album *Back in the High Life*. The song, written by Winwood and Will Jennings, and produced by Russ Titelman and Winwood, blends blue-eyed soul and pop rock elements. It features the powerful backing vocals of Chaka Khan, adding to its soulful vibe. "Higher Love" achieved significant commercial success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and peaking at No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart. The song's success was further solidified when it won two Grammy Awards in 1987, including Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. Its enduring legacy is highlighted by various covers and versions, most notably a posthumous remix featuring Whitney Houston's vocals by Norwegian DJ Kygo in 2019. The song's uplifting message and soulful sound have helped it remain a timeless classic, continuing to resonate with audiences worldwide.
“ROLL WITH IT” is a banger! The video is SO great!!
Nice suggestion
I was going to suggest Roll With It too! Hope they give it a listen - and put on the original video - Fire 🔥
Chaka Khan on background vocals 🔥
Nile Rodgers on guitar, too.
Steve Winwood is top notch, can't go wrong with his music ❤
Probably the only person who can say that by the time he graduated High School, he'd already played with Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B. B. King, Chuck Berry, and Bo Diddley.
Chaka Khan....Steve Winwood was a child prodigy...did I'm a Man at age 16 with The Spencer David Group, was a backup player to Ray Charles when he was 13 when Ray toured England. Was in his own band Traffic, teamed with Eric Clapton for one album with Super Group Blind Faith, solo career.. he's only in his 70s...he dropped out of school at 15 after his group knocked the Beatles out of first place on the charts in 1967....
“ Nobody Loves You When You’re Down and Out” Steve at 18 doing Ray.
thanks.. saved me typing that all out. Definitely worth checking out 'Gimme Some Lovin' by The Spencer Davis Group' It's Soul. Cut that Blue Eye Soul BS out.
@@TheDivayenta
Love this!
Listen for the inimitable Chaka Khan on this fantastic piece. She appears briefly a couple times. Great choice! "Finer Things" from this same LP, is another great piece! ✌️
Steve Winwood is a devout Christian raised in the Anglican church and if you read the lyrics it's a declaration of his faith which is awesome to me. Yes that's Chaka Khan in background vocals and Nile Rogers on guitar
Chaka Kahn, The Queen herself!! He has another great song, “Valerie”. Thanks guys! 😊
This is artistry. I love it all the way through but when Chaka starts belting it out I feel like I just got a birthday present.
Stephen Lawrence Winwood (born 12 May 1948) is an English musician and songwriter whose genres include blue-eyed soul, rhythm and blues, blues rock and pop rock. Though primarily a guitarist, keyboard player and vocalist, prominent for his distinctive soulful high tenor voice, Winwood plays other instruments proficiently, including drums, mandolin, bass and saxophone.
Winwood achieved fame during the 1960s and 1970s as an integral member of three major bands: the Spencer Davis Group (1964-1967), Traffic (1967-1969 and 1970-1974) and Blind Faith (1969). During the 1980s, his solo career flourished and he had a number of hit singles, including "While You See a Chance" (1980) from the album Arc of a Diver and "Valerie" (1982) from Talking Back to the Night ("Valerie" became a hit when it was re-released with a remix from Winwood's 1987 compilation album Chronicles). His 1986 album Back in the High Life marked his career zenith, with hit singles including "Back in the High Life Again", "The Finer Things", and the US Billboard Hot 100 number one hit "Higher Love". He found the top of the Hot 100 again with "Roll with It" (1988) from the album of the same name, with "Holding On" also charting highly the same year. Although his hit singles ceased after the 1980s, he continued to release new albums up to 2008, when Nine Lives, his latest album, was released.
In 2004, Winwood was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Traffic. He has won two Grammy Awards and an Ivor Novello Award, and has been honored as BMI Icon. In 2008, Rolling Stone ranked Winwood number 33 on its list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.
Good reply, but you should have emphasized the fact that he started out at the age of 14. His Greatest hits are Rock and Roll songs!
Steve Winwood is also
Queen Camilla's, King Charles, his wife , the Queen is Steve's Aunt, Aunt Camilla.
His Mother and Queen Camilla are sisters.
Amazing, it's a small world
GOD SAVE THE KING
Chaka and also Nile Rogers. The whole album is awesome.
Chaka Khan was background vocals at the end...this song...for what it is...actually had the groove.
Steve is a genius. Great voice & great musician.
Steve Winwood // Blind Faith - "Can't Find My Way Home"
Windwood... OMG he wrote some extraordinary and complex songs. What a genius!
Steve Winwood - "The Finer Things". :)
Steve Winwood was a teenager when he sang “Gimme Some Lovin” as a member of the Spencer Davis Group. Another banger from the sixties. He’s had so many great hits. Thanks guys.
Chaka Khan doing the backup vocals.
He's had that voice since he was a kid. Look up Spencer Davis Group, "gimme some lovin'". The lead singer is him at around 15 or 16. And I think playing the organ too.
Edit: someone else reminded me. Also a young Steve Windwood with the same group, "I'm a man".
Steve Winwood is so good. A prodigy at the age 14.
That's Chaka
You know it's a banger when Olli gets his groove on.😂
I thought he was a cardboard cutout until now.
@@FelixcatGarcia😂😂😂😂😂
I said the same thing, Olli woke up and started moving, which was a surprise!
Steve Winwood's album 'ARC OF A DIVER' (released in 1980 - and where he plays all the instruments...) is a Classic Masterpiece.
Steve Winwood's keyboard jam in the middle of Traffic's "Empty pages" is fantastic.
Steve Winwood and CHAKA KHAN!!! 😎
This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥and Chaka's powerful vocals took the song to another level.
winwood is a legend ..everybody knows it ...
Check Steve Winwood out, when he was 15.....Blow You Away
Steve Winwood featuring CHAKA Khan! :-D
Steve is another British musical genius. Watch him at age 18 sounding like Ray Charles on “ Nobody Loves You”.
Steve Winwood had some feelgood songs.
Nile Rodgers was doing a lot of producing in the 80's for example David Bowie let's dance, Madonna like a virgin, Duran Duran notorious! For this song, he plays rhythm guitar on the recording.
"Little Stevie Windwood" YES!
More Steve Winwood - with The Spencer Davis Group "Gimme Some Lovin'" & a cover of "I'm A Man" (he was 16 at the time) and one of my faves with Traffic "Dear Mr. Fantasy".
if you ever been to a supermarket or a mall, you've probably heard this song b4, without even realizing it.
Steve (Stevie) Winwood started in the band The Spencer Davis Group when he was 14.
I was just listening to Steve Winwood essentials when on a recent road trip. Learned he was a musical prodigy from his teens. My favorite of Steve Winwood is “Finer Things.”
Stevie was lead singer of the Spencer Davis Group when he was 17, then Blind Faith, then Traffic, then his solo career - keyboards and guitars as well
Steve wrote this song and he was the producer along with Russ Titleman.
One of my favorites. ❤❤
Steve Winwood ❤!
Roll With It is an awesome song and video.
And go way back to 17 year old Steve with the Spencer Davis Group, Gimme Some Lovin and Im a Man.
Steve with Traffic with one of my personal favorites, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. A classic!
Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton live concert album in Central Park, Can't Find My Way Home.
So much more to enjoy from Mr. Winwood.
I remember hearing this for the first time on the radio in '86 and fell in love with it right off. You can't NOT move to it. I didn't even know he was British until listening to his song "Valerie" when you can hear the accent and then I looked it up and found he was British. He's got some really good ones - keep checking them out!
I am a new subscriber, and I am a white man in my late 70s. I have been watching your older videos, and I really respect your outlook on expanding your mind to new types of music to broaden your musical knowledge. I have a massive album collection that I have been collecting since the late 50s, and I have almost every type of music in my collection. You three have encouraged me to try more hip hop and rap music that I know very little about. I love your reactions. Peace.
Much love! The journey is for us has been great! Glad you are willing to step out in to hip hop as well! A lot of good music!
@@thisisitreactions When you react to Steve Winwood's classic banger, *"Valerie",* you'll have two versions to pick from. He released the song twice, originally in '82. and that version only reached # 70 on the US Billboard 100; and then an up-tempo version in '87, and that one reached # 9 in the US Billboard 100. Both versions have music videos, and both are really good. Personally, I prefer the music of the '87 version, and the video of the '82 version. Lol So I guess what I'm saying is, you can't go wrong. Flip a coin. :D
Bernard Edwards from Chic was playing the bass... great tune
One of the best songs ever!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Add Chaka Kahn and Niles Rogers!! His older stuff with The Spencer Davis Group and Blind Faith with Eric Clapton is awesome as well. A musical genius!!!
Chaka 🤘🤘
This is all about Chaka
"Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" by Stevie's band Traffic. Check it out! Also, Stevie played organ backup on Jimi's (Hendrix) song "Voodoo Chile", track #4 on Electric Ladyland. NOT Voodoo Child Slight Return which you've already heard. Voodoo Chile is over 14 minutes of pure fire! I hope you listen to it.
For the longest time, I didn't know this was Chaka backing up Steve, but I always felt her part helped send this to the top.
Thanks for listening
Try Spencer Davis - "Gimme Some Loving" Blind Faith - "Can't Find My Way Home" Traffic - "Light Up or Leave Me Alone" , "Feelin' Alright" , "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys", "Dear Mr. Fantasy", "Freedom Rider", "John Barleycorn Must Die", etc, etc
"Roll With It" video is fantastic.
Stevie is immortalized by the riveting "Can't Find My Way Home". There's a terrific video of him and Clapton, Derek Trucks, and Doyle Bramhall at Eric's Guitar Festival in the Caribbean...fund raiser for his Crossroads addiction rehab. Their performance is moving...as Clapton and Stevie were in the supergroup Blind Faith in the late 60's/early 70's.
This guy has been around forever. Made his bones playing with his older brother Muff in the Spencer Davis Group. Dude was underage but sounded like Ray Charles. Couple of years later he was supposed to be in The Cream with Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton, but it fell through. Instead he was in Traffic and the Blind Faith with Baker and Clapton when The Cream imploded. All this stuff before the age of 22.
Winwood played organ in one of my favorite albums, _The Colour of Spring_ by Talk Talk, a band that would later become extremely influential.
Steve Winwood as a teenager started playing with the Spencer Davis Group, the formed Traffic then one album as member of Blind Faith which featured Eric Clapton on guitar and Ginger Baker on drums after Cream disbanded. Then went onto a solo career. You won’t be disappointed.
Great song, always have had the biggest crush on Chaka khan
Roll with it. Another good one
Yall gotta react to ROLL WITH IT. That song will funkify any soul.
20 year old Chaka singing Maybe Your Baby on Rufus's debut album. That is where it's at.
Great song which came out when the people were united & loving feel good songs from the 60’s & 70’s. Steve Winwood had a great voice back then.👍👏👏👏🩵🩵🩵
Steve Winwood was first with British band Spencer Davis Group ("Gimme Some Lovin"), then Traffic ("Dear Mr. Fantasy"), then Blind Faith ("Can't Find My Way Home"), then solo. He co-wrote this song with Chaka on background vocals. That's Nile Rodgers from Chic on guitar. Check out the 3 songs mentioned above. All great! He evolved over his career.
Fellas, I have to let you know you have one good comment in your comment section. However he Unfortunately didn't let you know that Steve is a Rock and Roll Legend! Long Before this Disco Sh*t! He started out at the age of 14 playing and Singing for The Spencer Davis group. At the age of 16 they released "I'm A Man" and "Gimme Some Lovin'". He went on to form a group known as Traffic who had Several Great hits such as "Mr Fantasy" etc etc. From there he formed the Super Group "Blind Faith" which included Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker. He continued his career over the decades, even lending his piano/organ skills in the Tribute to George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" featuring Tom Petty, Jeff Lynn and PRINCE! If y'all didn't realize it, Prince was a Great Guitarist. Y'all should react to the song I just mentioned. Anyway, this BS disco stuff came along in the 80s. It's ok, but your not Getting the real Greatness of Steve Windwood. 🤔👍🤣🤫
"Roll with it" is worth a listen as well
Steve Winwood was hot for a good minute in the 80's but he was around since the early 70's in some very influencial bands. Great pick, try a few more, you won't be disappointed.
Talking of small musical worlds, Winwood was in a band called Blindfaith, with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker from Cream in 1969. He is a multi-instrumentalist who started professionally at 15 in The Spencer Davis group, a U.K. 1960’s beat group who had hits both sides of the pond, then Traffic, also big in the states, before a successful solo career
You also might enjoy Sting - If You Love Somebody Set Them Free. Sting joined with some amazing artists on the song.
Cheers for the video.
I love the whole "Dream of the Blue Turtles" album. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I loved this song when it came out.
The whole damn album was great and sold a ton!
This man is a legend in the music business and talented as well
Glad you spotted Nile Rodgers from Chic. Steve Winwood has played with an incredible number of top notch artists from many different styles of music; Jimi Hendrix, Howlin' Wolf, B B. King, Eddie Harris, Eric Clapton (Steve and Eric were in the band Blind Faith together), and many more.
He was in the Spencer Davis Group which I know you'll dig, Traffic, such an amazing band, Blind Faith as I previously mentioned, and a solo career. You will really dig all these different bands he's been in. The guy's an absolute gifted genius.
"Give some love" great song
That's Chaka Khan!
this guy was a teen when he started making albums. his voice was unbelievable for some teen kid.
There was a lot of collaboration between music artists in the 1980s. A few examples were Michael McDonald/Patti Labelle, Phil Collins/Philip Bailey, Aerosmith/Run DMC, Queen/David Bowie, Tom Petty/Stevie Nicks etc.
It's such a great song 🎵 🎉
Other songs that were hits for Steve and worth listening to are… Valerie, The Finer Things, and While You See a Chance. Steve was in the group The Spencer Davis Group and Traffic before going solo.
It’s a vibe and it was constantly on the radio back in the day. Love it! Thanks, y’all. 🤟🏼
Those were the days!
Can't even imagine this without Miss Chaka
Ahhh, man, this whole album is a banger. Had this cassette in my new 87 Mustang. Wore it out. Phew, a lifetime ago!
And check out his 1969 hit "Can't Find My Way Home." OMG. OMG. OMG.
BANGER
Hall of Famer. Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith and Traffic. Had a great solo career as well. Thank you dudes
Eric Clapton said he heard Steve Winwood singing I'm a Man at age 15 in London....and said- I heard a pimply white teen kid who sounded like Ray Charles and knew we had to form a band
Absolutely LOVE y’all’s reactions!!! And this song rocks!! Especially the percussion intro!!
Yes Corey! Exactly! Blue eyed soul! Music is the UNIVERSAL language!!
You should check out The Spencer Davis Group "Gimme Some Lovin". I think Steve Winwood was 17 years old when they recorded that.
Co written with the guy who wrote “Tears in Heaven”(Eric Clapton) and he wrote a Celine Dione hit record.
Guys, next stop on the Steve Winwood train: Valerie (the 1987 version please!).
One of the original members of Traffic. Listen to their classic song ‘Dear Mr. Fantasy’
Little Stevie Winwood started in his career at something like 17 years old? Not completely sure, but he was a crazy talented kid.
Being an election year, I nominate this for best song of the 80s
You guys need to dig deeper. This guy is genius.
Please let your next by him be Roll With It and play the video! It is fire! Also While You See A Chance is another great!
Aww you three are the best. Seeing you all groovin’ away 😄💜
Side note: I forgot how beautiful Chaka Khan is.
Steve Winwood awesome musician! 'Valerie' my favourite song of his.. you guys would know it as well 😅
Chaka Khan, or Shaka gave this song the frosting.
For the first time I see Olli waking up and moving, hahaha!!
nile rodgers playing that amazing dance/funk/light-as-air style guitar work - love this song! ❤
Nile also appears in the video at the end with Chaka Khan during her backing vocals. "Roll with it" is another great tune from him.
No he didn’t. Nile only played guitar. Where do you people get this stuff? Winwood produced his own music.
@@johnnyhancock76 you're right! now edited.
This song reminds me of basic training. Our drill Sargent loved to troll us by blasting this and Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long" in the dorms while PTing us to death.
Check Steve singing Stevies Blues (Steve on Guitar) and Every Little Bit Hurts (Spencer Davis Group)
Try 'Gimme Some Lovin' when he was the lead singer of the band 'Traffic'
Check out "Roll With It". Right up your alley.
Absolutely… check out Notorious by Duran Duran… same music video director, some of the same models/dancers, and also Nile Rogers!
This isn't the real Stevie, this is the label version, NTV era. They don't even have him playing the guitar or keyboards, which is what he is really known for.
Check out Steve Winwood his days with Traffic Dear Mr Fantasy
