    Blessed day to you!! I just want to address those commenting negatively about you reacting to songs recommended by your family.
    If I am not mistaken, the majority of songs reacted to are taken from viewer's recommendations, so it truly seems unfair to be anything but kind, and if need be - patient. That said, this is a channel created by the reactor for the purpose of personal growth. He has graciously invited us to come along on that journey, and I am humbled and grateful for that. This incredible person has placed his heart on his sleeve, and has shown to us his deepest feelings. It takes great courage and a determined spirit to do such things. And when he decides to listen to his family's requests he is doing it out of respect and love for them. That in itself is such a valuable lesson for us all.
    GOD BLESS YOU, and keep doing what makes you grow, and makes you happy! We love seeing you just be you!!

    There is no doubt that the 80's was a great time for music and this is a classic example. My son is 24 years old and he's a massive 80's music fan. Your friends who don't understand why you listen to this type of music haven't a clue what they're missing. Watching your reaction to music I love, is like hearing it for the first time all over again!! Great reaction!!!

    Chaka Khan is the singer who is “on point” who you are wondering about. Amazing singer in her own right (check out her huge smash “I Feel For You” - that would be a great reaction video for you). Glad you took your Grandma’s suggestion for this song. Has always been one of my favorites as well. If you’re thinking of doing more Steve Winwood here’s some suggestions “Valerie”, “While You See A Chance”, “Roll With It”

    Check out "Roll With It" Official Video, another great one of his from the 80's (you'd love it!). Then go back to the 60's when Steve first got famous..."Mr. Fantasy" and "Can't Find My Way Home". They're true Rock Classics!💙

    Steve Winwood is the man. From his early 1960s songs as a teenager with Spencer Davis Group ("Keep on Running"), through his songs with Traffic ("Mr. Fantasy") and Blind Faith ("Can't Find My Way Home") to his solo work ("Arc of a Diver", "While You See a Chance"), he has been consistently brilliant.

    You've hit on a musical genius. He's been around forever. He's written more than I can remember. He's been a member of several bands: Spencer Davis; Traffic; Blind Faith. And...he can play any insrument, and every instrument, and he has. Check the album, 'Arc of a Diver'. He did it all himself, in his home studio.

  • @myownchannel247

    Chaka Khan was the female vocalist, she's the one in the video too. She's had a career for decades and you would like her band Rufus from back in the day Steve Winwood has been in the music business for over six decades and sounds better than ever, His band Traffic is his best music for me

    Dude, when I was younger I was so oblivious to all the wealth of music that was out there from previous generations. I would have never thought I'd be deep diving into folk music, and tunes ranging back to the 40's. There is great music in every decade, and it sounds like your grandparents are on point!

    Steve Winwood is one of the most respected musicians out there starting off when he was 15 in the Spencer Davis Band in the 60’s. He went on into Traffic and then Blind Faith and then back to Traffic (my favorite). Recommendations are Can’t Find My Way Home (Blind Faith) , Dear Mr Fantasy and Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (Traffic), I’m a Man and Gimme Some Loving (Spencer Davis Group). I prefer the audio versions showing off Steve Winwood’s vocals at his best.

  • @lamusiclover2264

    other people may have mentioned this but just in case- Steve Winwood joined the Spencer Davis Group when he was 14 years old he cowrote their major hit “Gimme Some Lovin” and “ I’m a Man” both worth checking out then he joined up with Eric Clapton and some other notables to create the band Traffic a really great song of theirs is “Low spark of high-heeled boys”and then you see him doing his solo stuff. I knew you would love him. I’m so excited you decided to do this song which I love. he’s amazing from the time he was 14 years old he’s been a professional musician and a talented musician so congratulations on checking him out definitely check out some more of him. Your G’ma has good taste!

    Steve Winwood has been performing since he was a Teenager first in the Spencer Davis Group who had other Hits like "Gimmie Some Lovin" "I'm A Man" that Chicago Covered when Terry Kath was alive. He was also in Traffic and Blind Faith (With Eric Clapton). Chaka Khan is singing Backup in This Video. His Songs have been featured in Movies like The Blues Brothers & The Big Chill (Gimmie Some Lovin') and it was also covered by Olivia Newton-John in 1979 after Grease was released. Also "I'm A Man" was featured on Mad Men when Don Draper went to visit his Wife Megan in Los Angeles.

    If you like this, I think you might like "Can't find my way home" either by Steve Winwood solo or when it first was done by him as lead singer of the band "Blind Faith". Bless your grandma, she has good taste and even better heart! P.S. ALWAYS do your grandparents requests first. You are blessed to still have them to make requests, I miss all of mine, but when I did have them, I did always watch movies they recommended or listened to the songs they said meant something to them. So, yeah, listen to their requests while they are still here, it will bring them and you joy, and this is YOUR channel, YOUR journey, and we are just privileged to watch along the way.
