This song reminds me of my Dad. The first time I heard it, we were riding together, he says “oh, great song!” and turned it up. Now every time I hear it come on the radio, that’s what I do, turn it up. Miss you Dad 💜
Amazing how a song or melody will impact us for the rest of our time here!!! I like your little reflection, it's simplicity but impact. Nice.
With you Tony. So many feels to this tune.
OH Tony!! I remember playing this album for my dad, too...he always loved when I turned him onto music. He did the same! I miss him so much. thanks for sharing! Michael
Me too...my dad had the album and I think instantly of my dad when I hear it.
It reminds me of my grandparents and yes my grandfather that I called " Dad" cuz I called my father Daddy ...always. Miss them both, but it reminds me of being at my grandparents house on school vacations.
2024 anyone ?
I’m listening to Steve Winwood While You See A Chance early May 2024

Always a great song, no matter the year! 2024 (May)
Yes.😊
Hell yes!!
May 28, 2024 latest listen
He saw a chance. Met Valerie. Found higher love. And is back in the high life again.
Excellent!!
Now he's rolling with it baby.
Well done kurtis
If I'm not mistaken, you did that all within the same album. Well done!
i bet you worked all day n night for that one!!!
My body says Im 60 but my heart & mind says 21... I'll go by my heart...I want my 80's !!!!!
You and me both
How the endless road unwinds you...great song..
Me too!!!! The 80 s were great !
Love your comment
Roger that. My mind says I am young, my music makes me feel it too.
That's me in that video... the one in the black spandex. I remember hearing my dad tell the crew, "That's my son right there!"... he then blurted out a loud "I LOVE YOU SON... I'M PROUD OF YOU!!!" LOL
Cool!
I know a guy who had High School Shop class with Steve Winwood. He said they were both making guitars. He never finished his, but Steve finished his. He said 'doesn't that tell a story'
The keyboard overture gets me every time. It evokes so much emotions of memories of youth. How I even got to this age in life, I'll never know. I miss all the friends and loved ones that have gone before me. Songs like this are my last link to the past.
Awesome observations. We must have all been watching MTV waiting for gems like this to come on!
Now we can sit back and watch as Stranger Things show all our kids what real music was🎯
Yeah me too.
I hear ya. Peace.
Yep music can do that. 60s, 70s and the 80s were the best in music. Can't believe we've hit rock bottom with our "music" in the 2***. The garbage the artist's make today lacks love and soul
So beautifully articulated sir. Thanks for that. It gets me too! I think back to being a kid working my first job in 1986 and all the feelings that accompanied that time, mostly hope. Song uplifted me then and still does.
Remember the 1980's when everything seemed bright, shiny and new? Yeah, I remember that too...
Never thought those dystopian 80s movies were actually on to something.
I was pretty young. 2 in 1980 and 11 in 1989. I wish I could redo life.
You are exactly right.... everything was in front of not only the young in school who heard this on the radio but the world in general. Too many things to list...... I'm 55 and we truly were blessed to have lived in that time period as young people growing up
Melhor década pra música eternamente.
Everything was shinier in the 80s. Compared to today. Sheesh.
I think this is the best advice given. Take a chance.
my wife died last Nov and today is her birthday((. this was one of her fav songs. miss you baby !
+Chuck Jones happy birthday to your wife!!she had wonderful taste!you were a blessed man!
Thank you William . very nice of you to take time to comment!!
Chuck Jones Sorry you lost your wife! She had great taste in music and was lucky to have someone who loved her as it seems you did very much!
My deepest condolences, she had great taste.
Chuck Jones
Triggers a yearning for this great time in my life…I was born in the perfect time of music ! Thank you God….im so blessed in all ways !
Agree!
Steve Winwood is one classy, super-talented, musical genius.
MJS376 No doubt. Simply masterpiece
this statement is correct.
Couldn't say it better myself ☺️
True, but the fact is the string of hits he had starting with this in 1981 through the mid 80's weren't written by him, I can't remember his name but there was a guy who wrote all those hits for him through that era.
Will Jennings, & no he CO-wrote them WITH Steve
The video may seem quite outdated. But the Music is by far more superior to the ones we hear today.
Así es el video con muy pocos recursos pero era de época , de la musica mucho que decir de un genio que lo ponías cantar con Eric Clapton eran 2 perdón son 2 grandes genios ...!!!! Saludos del Chileno de ❤
It's the haircut that's outdated. Or never dated. Lol
We here my state has channel 49.5 plays the smooth music ....but still play Taylor Swift junk
This is one of those rare songs...when you hear the closing chords...you silently grieve that the song will soon be over.
What a cool comment. I 100% agree. good on you!
so true . Ive replayed 3 times tonight so far
Also, Finn McCool ? You a warrior fam ?
When Michael Jackson won nine grammies Stevie was the only other person winning.
@@sally-annmccarthy5323 What kind of warriors?
Who's here listening to this Classic in 2020?
always great times x
I am. Winwood is my go-to when I want to feel good about life.
Me, too...from Italy! I love Steve Windwood's songs!
Here!!!
Me
My goldfish died on Valentine’s Day, 1993. This was his favorite song. Gill, I miss you, buddy.
I had shubunkin. Great fish! Miss them, I’m traveling and can’t have a fish 😢
😆 😆 😆
😂😂😂
I was at a lecture/presentation on Steve Winwood's work by a musicologist which was very good and during the Q & A a supposed expert in the audience referred sarcastically to the 80's as Winwood's "lounge singer" period. Forget the weird video and the stuffy clothes, the songs he wrote in the 80's were incredible - so good!. True they were a little more "pop hits" style than the classic improvisational Traffic work of the 60's and 70's - but you can be sure that all the elite talents from the 60's and 70's would have killed to be able to write and perform music as successful as Winwood did in the 80's. There's nothing wrong with commercial success, man! There are trashy, throwaway pop hits and there are classic pop hits and he turned out one great pop song after another in the 80's. Give him a ton of credit for his versatility and genius.
Amen to this all!
From what I remember Steve Winwood was all but wrapped up at this point. By his own admission he was going out with this album-all or nothing. He did all the instruments. Write, composed everything on Arc. The things kids held Kenny Kravitz or Prince up for being a genius 10 years later Here Steve Winwood shared stages and studios with legends and pioneered a lot of this type of music.
You watch, Stranger Things will get to this song and it'll be the next Running Up That Hill that turns a whole new generation on to this Genius.
Great memories of this song.
Love it!
This song could be a Traffic tune!! .....just remove the 80's synth and there it is. Great song.
You've been bamboozled. "lounge singer period" is quite apt.
sounds like the “expert” is envious of steve’s talent and success. these songs stand the test of time and then some!!!
@@terryhancockroc6560 yeah, but, no need to take a swipe at Prince here (Kravitz ehhh) you didn’t have to be a kid to recognize that Prince was worthy of the genius label. Try finding anyone in the biz who will dispute it.
One of Winwood's underrated talents: the ability to sing passionately with weird crap going on behind him.
you couldn't make a sandwich.
One of the best Songs of the 80s. The Feeling of the 80s is so real when you listen to this song. #Like!
Still listening in 2024! 😊
Reminds me of being a kid in the early 80s!
I’m listening to Steve Winwood While You See A Chance mid February 2024
2:27
This is one of those songs you never get tired of hearing . Reminds me of my HS days !!!
I agree with you Stacy but that sentiment isn't exclusive to this song, I get that same feeling with many of his other hits...
Same. It reminds me of walking around the house early in the morning getting ready for school in the early 80s.
YYUP... I was 16 when this was out.. memories galore.
Como nao lembrar das propagandas do hollywoog o sucesso
Yes I agree but what is HS 🙃✋
Steve Winwood talked about how some people said he sold out in the 80's, but when I listen to this I hear it as being as soulful as any Traffic tune..... it has all the elements that made them legendary. Great song.
I think he settled into his own with songs like this.
@@geetarman AC DC rules. Watch Angus on Thunderstruck. One hand intro.
❤
He didn’t sell out, he grew up.
I don’t think he sold out. His music is some of the most memorable songs of the 80’s.
One of the best musicians in the world...completely underrated...
So overlooked and undervalued! His music spoke life love and truths. Bless you for recognizing 🙏🏽🕊️🫡
um ok in no way form or fashion is steve winwood underrated by anyone anywhere... the only thing underrated is your level of stupidity you are both idiots!!!!
that is the dumbest statement anyone has ever said if i was him id be offended by your stupidity.....that is no where near true on any planet!!!!
From the age of 6 😅😊❤!
He's only 32 years old here but already a veteran of the 60's and 70's music scene.
Ages as u showed always amaze me on some of these. Other day I learned Olivia Newton John was 30 during Grease and 33 when Physical came out. I was blown away
Started age 16!
15
33!
It's honestly cool and impressive that a Rock singer from the 60s went completely synthpop in the 80s. Most artists, like Rolling Stones and Who, maintained some level of their sound, but him, Peter Gabriel, they just completely 180d and they're all the cooler for it.
I would add the Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship to groups that started in the 60s and continued thru to the 80s.
June 1981. I brought this record during a weekend at the seaside with friends.We never stopped listening to this incredible song. Two days after , I had my written exams for my two degrees, in Law and Political sciences. It went well but , coming back to my parents' home after the session , I had a very serious car accident which left me with my two legs broken. I thought afterwards that I was lucky because I was a survivor ! I spent 3 weeks in a wheelchair and , thereafter, one month and a half with a plaster on the left leg. I spent all summer long in re-education and working the .... 12 topics I had to take for my oral exams, end of September. And I made it ! Guess what ? When I was lacking energy , I was listening to this fabulous song . I was then telling to myself : " Man , while you see a chance take it !". Thanks Stevie, you will always stay in my heart !
Nice story! I am glad everything went well, after all.
Awesome story. Thank you for sharing.
Success in life is just the realization how good we have it.
While you see a chance? Oh geez. We always have that choice
beautiful story, here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil there is a radio station that has always played great bands including Stive with this wonderful song. I love
I was on my last year of my Marine 3 yr tour and I realized that I have no where to go. I went home for 18 months and I realized that my life was being in The Marine Corps. I did 6yr and 9 months when I got out. I now live my life as the title of the song ‘When you see a chance take it.
Thank you for your service
This song helped me make one of the biggest decisions in my life. And, it paid off. Thanks you Steve Winwood.
Glad you got the ' cat '.😅
The whole "Arc of a Diver" album is excellent. Winwood made some great music in the 80s.
You are sooooo right!!!!!!!!
Yes it is!
Facts!!!
And 60s and 70s...
Love that album
Perfect example of how an awesome song can overcome a shitty video.
This song ALWAYS makes me cry..Those WERE the greats days…My late husband loved this, as we took a CHANCE on each other!
Same here.
2 years, 3 months, and 4 days.
❤
I love the positivity of this song. Life is all about timing and taking chances.
IMO the one overriding characteristic of most 1980's pop/rock is its unbounded sense of positivity & optimism. We were happy & we did not know it.
@@armandocardona4478 We are happy now and don't know it. Happiness is relative. Human nature doesn't change over time, only technology. Here's one of my own about searching for happiness: ua-cam.com/video/VeP2dardrFc/v-deo.html. Enjoy your own sense of contentment.
@@gwynnielsen5081 - I agree with what you just wrote in general terms but what I meant is that life was much simpler in the 1980's, much less affected or encumbered by intrusive technology and totally unaffected by social media of course; computers were just coming into general use but there were no iPhones, no Internet, no Facebook, no Twitter and no algorithms to foster division into opposing blocs and groups. Given the high social tensions that affect many if not most countries these days, the 1980's seem like Paradise in retrospect; oh and pop/rock was MUCH BETTER back then as well, and my guess is that if you don't share or can't relate to that general feeling, you hadn't been born yet in the 1980's.
@@armandocardona4478 I hear you, Armando. And I agree. I was born in 1958; however, my music has a fan base of people in their forties. I am extremely happy that my music is being played in the Ukraine now. This song they like: ua-cam.com/video/amrXlywecCA/v-deo.html. 9CeSgxnOkkDU845aRbizWQNymCu. It is obvious why, I think. The power of music will outshine all technology. It is a panacea.
@@gwynnielsen5081 - I stand corrected & I apologize for any offense I may have given by anything I wrote before. Stay safe & best regards.
This song was always about "going for it" for me. It became my mantra in life. It gave me hope in dark times...
Being a teenager in a severely abusive household, listening to this song under the covers in the ghetto of Miami 1986. Memorizing each lyric as if it were a blueprint of escape.
Can’t believe this song is 40 years old. Time flies :(
Wish could turn the clock and go back. Would definitely not of chosen to waste my life around people that just use other people. " When theres no one left to leave you even you dont quite believe you" cant believe Im this age living as I do. Broken people picker
Philly , doesnt time fly? I am wondering what happened to my 20s. will be 59 in a few months
Can’t believe I am forty years older after first hearing it!!
I do not really like Steve Winwood's big hits but I have a soft spot for this particular song While You See A Chance ... its really a special vibe that belongs to a very special time in human history .... you get immediately transported to that time period and the wonderful innocence of it ....
That’s right the early 80’s .
"Are you still free? Can you be?"
great lyric to a very soulsy song
This album hit my desk while I was entertainment editor. Took it home and listened to it. Then listened again. Then wrote the review. Then kept listening and have never stopped.
One of the best songs of all time, especially if you are middle aged or older. This one came out when I was 11.
Same for me!
Feels just like yesterday
I was born in the 80s and I have always found the song wistfully (and enjoyably) nostalgic.
Very true crafted to perfectiom
This is a classic. It tells me to love. Not to forsake a true love.
It reminds me of my childhood woke me up every morning a little AM FM radio which was Mom and Dad's that's a beautiful song God Bless That Man
This song reminds me of my ex wife and me when we first started out - there wasn't anything we couldn't do. We even went overseas when I was in the military. That's when our first child was conceived. We came back and the years went by and we just grew apart unfortunately. But this song always brings back the picture in my mind of the two of us and it hurts, but I still listen.
I never cared for Steve Winwood's music (radio hits) during the 80's. I was too busy listening to heavy metal and hard rock. Then.....I found Traffic..... and some years later...... discovered Blind Faith and BOOM!!!! here I am. Yeah, you Can teach an old dog new tricks!! You're the man Steve, I just needed to hear where you had come from to see the light!
If you were born much earlier you would have started with Spencer Davis Group and Yardbirds then gone on to Traffic and Cream and might have avoided the Heavy Metal phase. Traffic knew how to play the silent pause as well as blast the amps at the same time. The later Heavy Metal bands were lost on this sophistication and simply filled the air with noise.
In that case: go and discover Stevie as the leadsinger/frontman of the Spencer Davis Group!
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PURPLE RAIN by Prince and PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
Lol better late than never. Check out Spencer Davis output
Always the light ✌️🥰🌷😇♥️
I saw my chance and took it a few months ago. After ten years single I've finally met my soul mate/twin flame 🙏☺️
How ?
You are lucky.
Tried my luck got rejected 😢
Never regret, no matter what happens. The fact is many of us turned down the chance you took, and forty years later we look back and think about that choice.
This was the music I listened to when I left my girlfriend and moved to a new life in the south downs of England. Almost 40 years later, it still brings back memories of those days.
All you special people with fond memories of your departed family members, may God bless you abundantly to leave such memories to your children 🙏.
I was a runaway in another state met some good people,when this song came out. I was young,in Rhode Island.But I did have fun.That was a great time.
This is my favorite Steve Windwood song.
One of my favourite songs! Love it!Released 43 years ago (?), tomorrow (Dec.30th) is my 61st birthday, together with my son who will be 21.
I sure miss my father too...
"When there's no one left to leave you, Even you don't quite believe you..."
That's when no one can deceive you
My favorite lyric and favorite song!
This exact lyric brought me here!
I never thought of it.... but it is
arkady714 😊NICE GOD JESUS TTHEE ANGELS ARE WITH YOU THE HOLYSPIRIT INVITES YOU & GOD WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOU!! & LOVE YOU EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T HE DOES THAT ALONE COULD MAKE YOU SHED TEARS THAT WHICH HE COUNT'S AND COLLECTS EVERY ONE HOW PRECIOUS HIS CHILDREN ARE GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS ALL!!! GODS PRECIOUS CHILDREN IN JESUS CHRIST!!!! NAME HALLELUJAH AMEN😊
One of the greatest songs ever written.
Subjectivity at its best. Don't let your feelings and nostalgia completely destroy your critical faculties.
@@randolphpinkle4482 you sound like you'd be a blast at a party. 🙄
@@juliebrown8331 lol 😂
That synth and melody sends shivers down my spine.
The memories of college Sunday mornings listening to Casey Kasem's top 40 number 8 week of 4/11/81
Need more of this today. To stop focusing on the negativity but look at what can become. Love your music.
This is such a great song still after 37 years
Right On
Yes 😁 😃 😎 😍 🍸
...and counting...
Yes it is
What? I'd swear it was just last summer....wasn't it?
Takes me back to 1980. Those were some damn good days..
Steve Winwood is a musical genius. Brilliant voice, great style, amazing range and wonderful songs. One of the best. The collaborations with other legends shows how good he was/is
My dad also loves this tune. Going on 84!
MOM
WOULD BLAST THIS ONE FOR SURE WHEN I WAS A KID MISS HER WITH ALL!!!!! MY HEART AMEN REST IN PEACE PRECIOUS BEAUTIFUL MOM
Whoever said the future lives in the past, was absolutely right! 🙏🏽🕊️✌🏽
This song came out when I was in Army boot camp. I listened to this on deployments. It gave me hope I would be coming home soon. It's helped me through alot of dark times in my life. I never get tired of listening to it. ❤
Glad you made it!
I thought you were going to say ". . . 'til I took an arrow to the knee."
i don't give a shit what anybody says.. this track is kick ass!
Great message... you don't get far by not taking chances and risks.
One of the best ones from the 80s
But the video is crap. Never seen such a good song with such a bad video. Unusual combo for sure.
Sure as fuck is "kick ass"!i!i!
No its awesome
I have ALWAYS loved this song. One of those songs you can't help but turn up and sing along. Never tire of it. Classic.
Its been so long since I have seen this video , the 80's were a change of many things for music . The months and seasons go by very fast , being that I will be 59 in July . Missing my Parents and Grandparents are gone. Dont worry Mom it will happen... Missing you...🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
What do you admire most about Steve
In Concert? Yes Please, anyway, anywhere, anyhow! We Love You Steve!
Saw him in West Palm Beach in 16. Great!
I attended Catholic grade school for a few years and the open overture reminds me of the church services I had to attend even though I wasn't catholic. The song came out at the same time I was graduating and moving on to high school. I will always associate that and the song's upbeat feelings with my youth. I can't stop feeling misty eye and nostalgic whenever I listen to it.
Every once in a while I need to remind myself of Winwood’s greatness.
Growing up in Bakersfield California in the 80's....Dancing..Listening to All The Best Music!!👍
Life goes by Soo Fast....
I have to take time for a little Winwood baby!!🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️👍
For those that don't know: He played ALL of the instruments and sang all lead & background vocals on this, as he did for most of this entire album, Arc Of A Diver. Sparks in Daytona
Same for Talking Back to the Night
The beginning of this song reminds me of a beautiful sunrise. It sounds so positive and hopeful. SW, one of the best ever!
Ryan Tay I am amazed that so many people have the same feeling about this song and sunrise as I!
I read somewhere the intro was a mistake. The other music tracks were accidentally erased and only the organ solo remained and they went with that.
Bob Ross would be proud! So I hope it's true :D
Me too! The Same feelings and when im going to work I remember this song
Yes!
Lol. I think my dad posted this on my account. I don' even know who this guy is, and my dad's super into this sort of music.
my wife died last Nov and today is her birthday((. this was one of her fav songs. miss you baby !
Linda recordação,música show mesmo
Love this song! Reminds me of my hubby & I in his old vauxhall viva on our 1st holiday together, winding our way through country lanes of Devon.
Brilliant album, such a long time ago, happy days
Why do i have tears? Love this...reminds me of my younger years.
Happy Birthday to Steve Winwood. Hope he has a wonderful day 🎊 🎁
Happy 76th Birthday 🎂 to Steve Winwood!!!!! While See A Chance Steve Winwood!!!!
1:27
My god... so proud... Hey, you all... that's my son on the left flashing the light.... LOVE YOU SON!!!
Reacquainted myself with this anthem, moments ago, happily now covered in tears and snot.
Mr. Winwood, thank you for all of the music.
THANK GOD, he is still with us 🧡🧡🧡 I´m sitting here, cyring and remembering that times...
It wasn't better, but we were younger ...
Greetings from Germany!
Strange video but one of the best songs ever, imo. I'm 49 now, but whenever I hear this song, I'm back in the car with my dad.
This Song Went To Number 7 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1981.
I love this song, and I always have. But it reminds me of lost opportunities in life (And I have so many). I wish it wasn't like that--that you only have a limited window to take advantage of something good.
During the recording process, Winwood accidentally erased part of the drum track in the intro. He tried unsuccessfully to re-create it. Finally he decided to leave it without the drums.
Reminds me of March 1981, the trip to Denmark. Miss you, I was so sea sick and you packed all the cases and looked after me. x
The most prolific song writer and musician very under rated genius.
One of those rare gems that just gets better every time, even after 40 years. Music that makes the hair stand up on your neck ⚡️💎⚡️
This song reminds me being on holiday in spain with friends i was 21 young and fit great times now i am in a wheel chair with MS enjoy yourself while your young
🙏♥️ I have a childhood friend that has had MS since she was 20. We’re 66 now. God bless.
Jongens wat een plaat. Wat een tekst en wat een waarheid.
I was born in 1970, and I will do anything to go back to January1 1980 and repeat every second of my life till December 31 1989.................ANYTHING!
I remember playing this while I was on my way to Edwards Air Force Base to watch the space shuttle Columbia land for the first time on April 14, 1981. I was almost 17. Great memories!
God....he looks so young! I'm a long time Steve Winwood fan, seen him live several times, and he NEVER fails to put on a great show.
I was 8 years old when this song came out. I probably heard this song hundreds of times a kid. It was on heavy rotation oon the radio and my mom is a huge Steve Winwood fan...ahhhh the 80s. Us 80s kids know what's up
You have a cool mom. Good for you, kiddo! Best Regards.
We sure do know what’s up buddy it’s slowly fading away and the sad thing is I’ve lost over half of my best friends and I’m just getting home from another one’s funeral. This whole playlist I’m listening to now is for all of my homies out there alive or gone on. Man or woman you all rocked and I miss you all no matter how the chips may fall, I can’t wait until we meet again at the midnight ball!!
@@christianjsmith410 Rock on brother.....may your friends rest in peace. I know what you mean......trying to keep the fading memories with me by listening to the music of my youth. Lucky to have had a happy childhood. Lost some goood people I truly loved along the way too. I think of them often.
Thanks for the reply my friend and In the future I plan to make this and many other songs part of the good times I had in those days as I believe we were all very fortunate and blessed to have grown up in that time when things were still very good compared to a lot of what happens today. May you have prosperity and peace @mackeydirk8643
This reminds me of the Twin Cities listening to KS95 and Sunny- while in cold cold March weather wishing for sunshine.
😂listening to its 28 degrees rn in michigan mid December looking forward to spring
I had a horrible shitty day at work...came home and this song poped in my mind....now I can finaly hear it!!
! No song reminds me of such happy feelings and emotions...kindness,innocence,wisdom,happiness,comfort,beauty,life,air,fire,humility,good will,hope ......every note and chord shimmers lightness through the darkness. I know to some it's a romance song but to me it's a song for any chance you want or need to take...maybe I need to find a better Job ! LOL
This is a victory song. An all time favorite of mine!
:D This used to feel like just a pop love song to me, until I realized 'romance' can be symbolic.
Any chance we take in life has vulnerability, excitement, opportunity, fear. etc. Go get that better job if you haven't already!
Did you?🦋🦋🦋🦋
How many artists these days play ALL the instruments on an album? Thank you Steve for reminding us of when great music and great musical artists still existed.
Loved all of Steve Windwood’s songs. 😊
One of my favs of the 80s.The lyrics are so philosophical.Brilliant melody
Steve Winwood was such a teenage prodigy that by 1981, he was already a veteran of 17 years or so in the music business, with a deep and varied catalogue to his name. He had first appeared on the album chart in his own right, with a new studio recording, with a self-titled Island release in 1977. But it was on 10 January, 1981 that his solo career really took wing, with the UK chart debut of Arc Of A Diver.
well he was 33 in 1981, not exactly a teenager
I had no idea. Thank you.
@@slaugh84 He started playing in a band at 8yo, joined The Spencer Davis Group when he was 14, and their debut single was released on just 10days after his 16th BD. Have a listen to their Georgia On My Mind cover that was recorded when he was 17, you might forget about his '80s stuff ;-)
Takes me back to the favorite decade of my life, the 80's 😸😸😀😀😀
Love the Saxophone in this song.
Thanks for all the memories from the 80s.
I love the keyboards in this song. They remind me of a time I set my clock radio to something like 4 am to get up and watch some astronomical event like a comet or a meteor shower.
