Yup, it's Chaka Khan singing with Steve, and Nile Rodgers from Chic on guitar. Steve has a huge back catalog of music starting with the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic and Blind Faith, as well as a solo artist. One of the most talented artists of my generation.
Written by Steve Winwood and Will Jennings. All-star band. Chaka Khan. Nile Rodgers with the hat 👒 here and on rhythm guitar 🎸. Eddie Martinez on lead guitar. The year before, Chaka Khan did backing vocals in the last pre-hook on the Robert Palmer song Addicted to Love. Martinez played lead guitar 🎸 on the other Robert Palmer song Simply Irresistible 1 year afyer this song.
I was like why does he keep looking down or off to the side. Chaka appeared on screen multiple times throughout the video before she started singing. Every time you were looking away lol 😂
IMO this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music produced in that decade. I agree MRM it is night time driving music I however think it should be played loud.
I have liked this song since it came out in the 80s - the music, the voices & the message. (I find the scantily clad dancers inappropriate in the video though. They may be suited for elsewhere, but not for a song about God.) I saw you look at Chaka Khan & it made me have another look at her - & I KNEW EXACTLY what you were thinking. She really does look like a young Tina Turner there. (I wonder if they are blood-related.)
This man may be the greatest musician of the 20th Century. I don't think he's ever put out a bad record over the last 60 years!
Love this song! It always makes me feel good and Steve Winwood’s voice with Chaka Kahn is magic! ❤

This was one of my favorite songs of the 80's. I remember first hearing it and falling in love with it right away. You can't not move to it too!
I know what you’re thinking…”that sounds like Chaka Khan!”
Ah another Child Prodigy now Legend!! This is one of my favorites from Steve!!
And of course Chaka Khan singing with him on it. Oh yeah!!
Great reaction as always.
Y'all be safe.
Stevie Winwood, and Chaka Khan what a great combination
Great tune from the 80s! Played it a lot back in the day.
Great grooving song

Love Chaka Khan on her own, but her backing vocals with Winwood are epic, and also on many of the tunes on Eric Clapton's Journeyman album. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m just realizing the spirituality in these lyrics. Not religion, but just a “we are more than just this.” Very cool.
Like that big screen you use for the video. Chaka Khan! Fantastic tune! Thanks!
Good description for this vibe. I could listen to it any time though. It was huge when I was in high school.
Chaka Khan and Steve Winwood! 😎
Chaka Kahn is so beautiful
It’s Chaka Khan singing with him!
Liked this song then and now!❤
Chaka Khan
If you don't watch the video this always made me picture a great gospel performance. Just Sayin'

Thanks MRM for not pausing every 20 seconds to comment, plus the sound quality and larger video screen is a plus. 🙏🙏
Song came out in the summer of 1986...
Chaka appeared on the screen at least three times, but you were not paying attention until the end.
Chaka Kahn was one beautiful woman.😎
She still is imo
You reacted to Roll With It by Winwood quite a while ago. Higher Love is a lassic song.
They could have given Chaka a verse , she's the best part of the song tbh
She’s fantastic. Only someone with his voice can come close to matching her.
