As a 54 yr. old black man I had to see what these young people thought about this tune. I believe it was released in like 81 and remixed and re-released in 87. I still enjoy listening to it and the Chaka Khan duo “Higher Love”. Glad I came across this. 👍🏿
This & Higher Love - both really good tracks
Me too...except a white man who's 53
Winwood started very young (fifteen) and sang back up to some of the greatest R&B masters (as I am sure you know). He got his R&B roots early and they are deep.
1982 to be exact. And there is also a Dance Remix from 2004 by Eric Prydz. I highly recommend it
Do you also hear the similarities in his voice to Ray Charles? His young years is was much more pronounced.
Hearing Steve Winwood always takes me back to the happiest and most free days of my life. He has a voice that makes the heart soar.
Love Stevie - so talented!
Yeah it always takes you Back to the high life again for sure
I agree.His voice brings positivity..
This man is a legend of Rock/Blues music. Started at age 17 in London England. Has one of the most soulful voices of anyone in the business over the last 50 plus years. "Spencer Davis Group," then his next Band "Traffic," and countless songs as a solo artist. An icon in the true sense of the word.
Thanks
Blind Faith
Brad & Lex, you’ll love his “Roll With It”, “Back In The High Life Again” and “The Finer Things”!!!!
Steve plays great keyboards!! You heard him 3 months ago in the The Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin' reaction.
Your welcome for reminding you of the Higher Love video with Chaka Kahn.
add "While You See a Chance" and "Higher Love"
@@readhistory2023 love those. they reacted to "Higher Love" May 22, 2022.
People who love this song should check out the 1987 version which is more energetic, crispier and fuller with more electronic bells and whistle.
The Finer Things - - one of the most pure honest and beautiful songs ever.
(Back In the High Life is pretty amazing too.)
"Keep on Running" by the Spencer Davis Group next!
VALERIIIIIIE😊🎉 THIS SONG MAKES ME SOOOOO HAPPY… I’m 44 and the 80s and 90s were soooo special to me….. 👏👍
Steve Winwood is a true legend!
Steve is a world class musician and singer. Seen him around 6 times. My favorite work from him came during his stint with Traffic 💕
Traffic was amazing
My favorite artist and I love his Traffic years the best too. Empty Pages, Glad, Many A Mile To Freedom, Rainmaker, 40 Thousand Headmen, Heaven Is In Your Mind, Light Up Or Leave Me Alone, Medicated Goo, Freedom Rider....so much really great music
The song is about someone he really knew who was about to get really popular, then she got hooked on heroine. "She can't be that warm with the wind in her arms". The duo Lex was trying to remember was Steve and Chaka Khan, the song was Higher Love.
Her name is Valerie Carter who was also the object of Jackson Browne’s song That Girl Could Sing.” Check out her version of “Ohh Child,” both studio and live versions. Her voice soars effortlessly.
See Jackson Browne that girl could sing also! 😉😎
Wonderful song, Higher Love.
I never knew the story of this song. I just know I enjoyed it, along with other Steve Winwood songs.
Never knew that! Sad coincidence that the other best-known song with this title is by Amy Winehouse, who pretty much lived those lyrics.
"Higher Love".. Which is a great song.. ♠W.G.
-No one can make a great song with a synthesizer…
-Steve Windwood hold my beer…
Literally sooo many great songs featuring synth 😅
Steve Winwood is one of the most talented dudes ever - you've reacted to him singing in groups too. Like The Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith and Traffic.
Yes, and many people (and reactors) don't realize that they're listening to the same person! He's just legendary.
YOU MUST LISTEN to him singing "I'm a Man" when he was like 17. The live version on Dutch TV or something, in black and white. They did a few songs for that set, but yeah... INCREDIBLE. MIND BLOWING. GUARANTEED.
The only version on Dutch tv on UA-cam I could find is ua-cam.com/video/V06cIzGodkQ/v-deo.html.
there’s a life version on Finnish television: ua-cam.com/video/jLaPO79hrM0/v-deo.html
And German television: ua-cam.com/video/SQUEnALTXfA/v-deo.html
Steve Winwood is a talent that's been around for 50 plus years ( he's in his 70s now) has the respect of all his peers .
Hi Lex, the song you're thinking of is Higher Love which has Chaka Khan in it too. Both of these songs are fantastic. I especially love his stuff from the mid-60s when he was in the Spencer Davis Group xxx
And Nile Rodgers
My favorite song of his, from that window of time, was "While You See A Chance".
Steve is legendary.
Agreed brilliant song
Steve has had a long career, singing with some fantastic groups and as a soloist. You should listen to more from him!
Such a great song- it’s been sampled also in a few songs!
“Back In The High Life Again” is another favorite to check out!
Steve was a child prodigy. At 15 he made some great music with the Spencer Davis Group. Later with the highly underrated Traffic . His solo career was fantastic .
Steve winwood joined "the Spencer Davis group" when he was 14 check out there hit " gimmie some lovin " think he was about 16 when he sang lead vocals on it ....super talented guy and an incredible voice :)
Steve Winwood is one of those guys that is known for these 80's tunes more than the lonnnnnnng career of being a killer musician he actually has. Dude has had that voice since he was a child (not even exaggerating)
Steve Winwood is a 60s RnB icon. He's got pipes! And fingers.
Steve was a member of several 1960’s groups most notably The Spencer Davis Group with the hit Gimme Some Lovin
Perhaps as notably, Blind Faith, where he gained a lot his initial popularity in the US playing with Eric Clapton, at least with all the FM radio stations playing their songs! The Spencer Davis Group had some really good songs, in particular the one you listed, but none of us really knew who he was at that time. I was only 11-12 when they came out, but we were all in awe over Blind Faith a couple years later around “68 or “69. Have a great day Elizabeth!
and Keep on Running
@@lantose He was never in Cream… He was in Traffic and when Cream ended he and Clapton formed Blind Faith for one album, with Ginger Baker on drums and Ric Grech on bass..
@@vrvaughn Thanks! My bad, got them mixed up, so I’ll have to edit that! I bought the cream live concert, I think 2005 at Royal Albert Hall which is great!
"Higher Love", with Chaka Khan, is the song.
Steve was also in the groups "Traffic" and "The Spencer Davis Group" before his very successful solo career.
Yeah, Steve Winwood is a legit, real deal legend. Storied career, and was an outstanding singer and musician from an early age. Great body of work, well worth going down that rabbit hole. Start with "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys". Great song, very young Steve in an absolutely masterful song.
It's amazing to hear how his musical style changed over the 20 years previous to this track. From his teen years as vocalist in The Spencer Davis Group with incredible hits like "I'm a Man", "Gimme Some Lovin'". To his 70s band called Traffic and a stand out song called "Dear Mr Fantasy", and another Traffic song called "Hole in My Shoe". All so so different to this.
He has so many great songs! I love the “wind in his hair!” Through the entire thing! Hahaha! Oh, 80s. ❤
The remix of this by Eric Prydz from the early 00's seriously bumps to this day, just like the original song. Easy remix gold with those vocals
Eric contacted Steve about "Call Me', and Steve offered to redo the vocals for the faster pace of Eric's version. He's amazing. The whole comment section on the UA-cam video of Valerie is young people saying, "OMG, this is Call Me!'...hahaha.
@@jenniferfoster1692 look into the history of the track. It all goes back to Thomas Bangalter and DJ Falcon.
Steve Winwood was in a band called Blind Faith along with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker. Their best song is Can’t Find My Way Home. You should give it a listen for a completely different vibe. Soooo good!
Steve Winwood has one of the best voices ever. His work with Traffic is legendary. Suggested listening to The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, a rock classic. Also Glad/Freedom Rider, Empty Pages, Shootout at the Fantasy Factory, 40,000 Headmen, I can go on and on. As far as solo work, Roll With It, Arc of a Diver, While You See a Chance, Talking Back to the Night. Again, I can go on and on. The man is incredible!
This song transports me back to the easier days of childhood in an instant
Steve has been around a loooong time. In the past, people were always struck by his unique voice. Today, same thing. A gifted keyboardist, too.
Steve Winwood has been playing professional great music since he was a teenager. He's as great a piano player as he is a guitar player as he is a singer. Such a talented man. He gave Eric Clapton a run for his money on a recent tour together
I love Steve Winwood.
"Back in the High Life Again" is my fav and no, it's not about drugs. It's about living a quality life.
Steve Winwood is a rock great. Did some fantastic work with Traffic back in the 60's. Dear Mr Fantasy, The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, and one that made an impression on me back in 66/67 when I was 8, namely Hole in my Shoe. Such an unusual but captivating song because of that.
I’ve seen him a few times with his group Traffic . A true superstar singer, keys, guitar, writer, and world treasure. His “Higher Love” featuring Chaka Kahn is soulful, rock, pop FIRE.
Love his voice and yes I agree with Lex very distinct when you hear him you know 🎤
One of my favorites from Steve Winwood was when he played Mr. Fantasy with the Grateful Dead.
Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic, such a master of music... he is part of those groups and a superstar unto himself
You were thinking of "Higher Love" with Chaka Kahn, I think.
Steve Winwood started with the Spencer Davis Group at age 15 - his voice was notable from the very start!
Steve was great in Traffic, Blind Faith and the Spencer Davis Group. A solo favorite of mine is Arc of a Diver. It has a real chill vibe to it, one of those that sucks you in soon as you hear it.
Valerie and Higher love are two songs that takes me back to an amazing time in my life ❤️🇧🇻
Wind machines were big in music videos back then.
Higher Love (with Chaka Khan, not Tina Turner) is probably my favorite of that era. I really like a lot of the 60s and 70s stuff with The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic (Dear Mr. Fantasy is one of the coolest songs ever imo) and Blind Faith.
That song was Higher Love! With Chaka Khan. You need to hear his voice on the slower Arc of a Diver song.
Arc of a Diver. One of my favorites from this era
As a Valerie myself I've always loved this one... 🖤
A great artist! Awesome song!
I remember back in '84-'86 I worked at Dairy Queen and this was on a tape that played on a continuous loop all day long. I wonder how many times I've heard this?
Arc of a Diver is an EXCELLENT song by Stevie.
Steve Winwood is a great rabbit hole to go down! You all are on a roll with some of my generation's best! Thanks for sharing and making me smile!
Steve was a teen “phenom” when he joined the Spencer Davis Group in the late 60’s. Played multiple instruments and carried a most unique voice. Blind Faith with Clapton created some really great songs. But his 80’s breakout album, “Back In The High Life” is a great album, worthy of a start to finish listen. Regards 🤘😎
This song was all over the radio and MTV back in the day, you’ve got to do “Higher Love” now
Love the wind blowing through the hair in a video sooo 80’s…lol
I could listen to him sing that chorus all day long.
It's "Higher Love" featuring Chaka Kahn. Awesome tune.
Stevie Windwood was a U.K. superstar’ before there was such a thing!
In the 1960s and 1970s he was in Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith.
Man I was in grade school and I'd come home and see this video and fell in love with the song - the melody really got me. It was different in those days. You couldn't just pull it up on UA-cam and watch it anytime, you had to wait until they played it again and you had no idea when that would be.
Love me some Steve Winwood! He was my first concert ever, and he killed it! Rockin us out to all the Spencer Davis, Traffic, and Blind Faith songs as well as his solo stuff. Do yourselves a favor and look for the live video of Traffic's Dear Mr Fantasy. You're welcome.
Winwood probably is among those who have recorded and written more songs than many others . He dates back to the 1960's in groups like TRAFFIC and the Spencer Davis Group among others
Steve Winwood is probably one of the greatest rock singers and instrumentalists of our time. Unlimited talent. Best tune by him for me is John Barleycorn must die. Old folk tune he covered with Traffic .
Lex is right - his voice is very distinct. You should definitely check out his other solo work, but also his early work with The Spencer Davis Group whose 1960s hits were superb with him as their lead singer. Their first hit was "Keep on Running" and it's a real banger - Steve was I think 16 or 17 when that was recorded in 1965. A very talented and unique guy.
You HAVE to do "Call on me" by Eric Prydz now!
Steve actually re-recorded his vocals for that song. Plus, you'll love the music video. One of the best ever made lol
Once you notice the wind machine blowing his hair back you can't unsee it. They had that shit on FULL BLAST.
He was great in concert.
He has an amazing voice live.
How are you feeling Lex? My daughter is also pregnant with my 1st grandchild. She is due at the end of February. She’s going to have a baby boy.
I can’t wait! The baby won’t be born soon enough.❤❤❤❤❤
Had the pleasure of seeing him in concert as well. He is one of my favorite performers.
She bops along with the tunes, his gaze looks almost intense enough to burn a hole in the monitor.
There was a remake of this back in 2004 that was in a Dance style. Such a good Steve song.
The video that you mentioned was "Higher Love" and it had Chaka Khan in it. That song was a huge hit for him.
Steve Winwood is one of my childhood favorites. Roll with It, Higher Love, While you see a chance, Holdin On, The Finer Things.
You should check out Eric Prydz’ song ‘Call On Me’ that samples the ‘Call on Me’ hook from Steve Winwood’s ‘Valerie.’ My guess is that Brad will be a huge fan of the music video.
Love Steve Winwood. Love this song. Love Eric Prydz remake of this on an edm track, ‘Call on Me.’
"Higher Love"(with Chaka Khan) is the other Steve Winwood song. Some others: ("Valerie")...."Roll With It"...."While You See a Chance"..."Don't You Know What the Night Can Do?"...."Spanish Dancer"...."The Finer Things"...."Night Train"...."Holding On"...."Arc Of a Diver"....(more)
While You See A Chance is a good Winwood Song. Winwood has been around since he was 17 and singing with The Spencer Davis Group. They had a hit called Gimme Good Lovin
And this song is from merely 1 era of this mans illustrious career.
Little Stevie Winwood - I've always loved his voice.
A very great voice, as always. Also a memorable one for many reasons given that Steve Winwood was in Traffic, The Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Ginger Baker's Air Force, Eric Clapton and the Powerhouse and his solo career.
Hard to believe it's the same Steve Winwood who sang "Can't Find my Way Home" !
I love watching these two. "There's something his voice!" versus "Why would the wind be in her arms?"
Keep in mind that this is correct with most R&B songs from era. I was 80's kid and a 90's teen. This song was released in 1982.
They also remade this into a sorta techno pop song later in the years and used his chorus on it... forgot what it was called but believe its called Call On Me
He was the singer in Traffic...Mr. Fantasy and Blind Faith...Can't Find My Way Home.
You may be remembering the dance remix thing with the aerobics video that came out later "Call on me - Eric Prydz". It was very thongy.
Winwood is evergreen.
You reacted to him singing 'Gimme Some Lovin' with his band 'The Spencer Davis Group'
It's definitely his voice for me too Lex. Steve's music is always a welcome listen. Please react to Steve Winwood - "Back in the High Life Again." It's my favourite and I think y'all would dig it.
He re-released it in like 87. An even better version. Check that on out too. If i recall its about a young woman who battled over consumption
The synth bass line in this is memorable and regularly sampled. It's an incredibly catchy song.
Winwood going for that Daryl Hall look in this vid. lol Not only the hair, but the pale skin. Both have incredible voices!
Higher Love
This song totally reminds me of the video for "Call On Me", probably because they have the same chorus.
I think you were thinking of the song "Higher Love" with Chaka Kahn. Little Stevie Winwood goes way back. Check out "I'm a Man", "Gimme Some Lovin", "Dear Mr. Fantasy" , "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" when he was with Traffic
Musically brilliant! Solo,Blindfaith,Traffic!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Also need to listen to "Arc of the Diver". Another great song.
Steve is a legend. He started as the teenager with the amazing voice in Spencer Davis Group in the 60s, from there to Traffic and Blind Faith before going solo. Multi-instrumentalist and great singer. You should try "While You See a Chance" and "Arc of a Diver" (SW solo), "Dear Mr Fantasy" (with Traffic), "Can't Find My Way Home" (Blind Faith) and "Gimme Some Loving" (Spencer Davis Group). You won't regret it!
Eric Prydz uses the sample from Valerie for the song Call on Me! That’s the song you’re talking about!
Hard to believe he sung on "Whiter Shades of Pale". Such a voice.
OK, so this song is about a backing Singer name Valerie who became addicted to Heroin, Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton knew her, the words ( No she cant be the one with the wind in her arms ) is refering to Needles and Heroin, its a very sad song, he is trying to say to her come and see me i am just the same guy i used to be, so he can help her, great song, incredibly talented Artist.
Steve Winwood is a bona fide musical genius This was during his highly successful solo career during the 80's, but my favorite era are his earlier days. From a teenage prodigy with the Spencer Davis Group ("Gimmie Some Lovin' " - when he drew huge crowds in the London clubs and was hailed as the white Ray Charles) to his formation of his incredible band Traffic, and then the supergroup Blind Faith (with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker)
most younger people will recognize the sample taken from this song in a newer song/video Call On Me by Eric Prydz.....video was done in an aerobics class with some hot bodies!
Said it before. Listen to "Steve Winwood // Blind Faith - "Can't Find My Way Home"" from 2012. Steve, a guitar, a fireplace. Epic.
Winwood is a legend. played on Jimi Hendrix album Electric Ladyland at the age of 20
So, Brad and Lex, you've reacted to "Gimme Some Lovin'", "Dear Mr. Fantasy" ,"Can't Find My Way Home", "Higher Love" and now "Valerie". ALL Stevie W. Major artist, major voice. 💯
Perhaps it's "Paper Sun" ua-cam.com/video/MPx5-Sn8FrY/v-deo.html next or "When I Come Home" ua-cam.com/video/gKhvSWshioQ/v-deo.html
I'd love them to do "John Barleycorn must die".
