Check out Stevie when he was with the band Traffic, "Low spark of high heeled boys" and remember when listening, what you think you are hearing, is not what you are hearing.
Jamel please try also these other greatest songs from him" While you see a chance" , "Valerie" , "Why can't we live together" & from his old group "Spencer davis group" the song Gimme some lovin'
Back in the highlife is a must.. but you can’t beat young Steve winwood vocals. Blind faith “Had to cry today” Spencer’s Davis group “gimmie some lovin” Traffic “dear Mr fantasy”. Can’t beat young winwood vocals.
@@neonpark1874 yes let’s also not forget split decision. He and Clapton are my top two favorite musicians of all time. The man can literally play almost every instrument and amazing vocals unlike anybody. If you haven’t checked out him and Clapton at MSG it’s an amazing concert. I have the SE DVd and watch it all the time.
Steve Winwood is amazing and hell yes he can sing and play. Anybody that can hang with Chaka Khan can most definitely sing! And yes, that is Niles Rodgers on bass.
With a voice like that, and Chaka Khan singing harmony and background vocals, a beat you can dance to and not want the song to end, this song could not lose. Love Steve Winwood!
Nile Rodgers has produced a large amount of musicians for years.Duran Duran , Steve Winwood,and many more. Likely produced his band Chic in the '70's..
Yes, PLEASE!! I requested that yesterday, the official video version. Besides it being a fantastic song and an incredible performance by everyone playing, that video is brilliant! Just as high quality as a really well made movie.
Steve Winwood is one of the most underrated musical geniuses of rock. Played with Hendrix, Clapton, Baker, Mason, Muscle Shoals Swampers, and may have been the best musician in each of those gigs. And what a voice.
I don't think he is underrated at all. He's played with some of the greatest bands -- Spencer Davis, Bind Faith, Traffic. He's played with some of the greatest musicians -- Clapton, Ginger Baker, Jim Capaldi, Dave Mason, Jimi Hendrix.
This song is sooooooooooooooooooooo underrated! Easily in one of my top 20 songs of all time across every type of music. The lyrics are realer than people give credit for. This song is a prayer, period. I church to this all the time.
Jamel - Chaka Khan was thrilled to be on stage with Steve! He is a colossus who has never been out of the limelight since 1965. Clapton searched him out to form Blind Faith; EVERYBODY wants to play with Steve. BTW, the organ on Jimi Hendrix' song "Voodoo Child" is Steve! THAT'S one to check out.
BTW, not "Voodoo Child - Slight Return" which is the more played song. The original "Voodoo Child" on the "Electric Ladyland" album. Then listen to the rest of the album!
That was Niles Rodgers on guitar. Jamel probably knows him from Le Chic and Sister Sledge. And yeah, Steve Winwood is one of the most respected musicians ever, by everyone.
BTW, no disrespect to Chaka Khan - Steve is also thrilled to be on stage with her. My context is, Steve could be on stage with Tina Turner and they'd both be turned on to be sharing the stage with a peer.
Steve hated that he had to dance in the video. It’s funny hearing him talk about it because he said he couldn’t dance and felt so embarrassed. I never really thought about his dancing after seeing this video all my life but I think we can all sympathize with him. Great song, great artist, and a good person. Can’t go wrong with Steve Winwood. 🤙🏻
Just waiting for your reaction to seeing Chaka Khan was worth it! This takes me back to 1985 and my first solo trip around the UK, this song was on my mix tape and always cheered me up on the trains and buses. Thank you, brother Jamel 🙌🏼
Lady LC: I think we were all waiting for that moment when he would recognize Chaka Khan in the video. The expression on his face was PRICELESS! Cheers!
Perfect 80s slice of blue eyed soul. This has everything, orchestra hits, Latin rhythms, funk guitar, synth bass and Chaka Khan on vocals. What’s not to like!
I had forgotten that Chaka Kahn was in this with him. I still think she’s one of the most beautiful and talented women on the planet, she, and Annie Lennox.
I love this collaboration between Steve and Chaka! Don’t we all feel about life and love and soul like this song sounds?! I hope we’ve all been blessed to have felt like that at some time or another.
He started with Spencer Davis at 14 but their first record was released when he was 16. Both I'm a Man and Gimme Some Lovin' were written and recorded when he was 18. The latter was conceived, written, rehearsed, and a rough demo made by the band in about 45 minutes.
I love this song! You can’t go wrong with Steve Winwood, Chaka Khan, and Nile Rogers on guitar! I loved when Chaka did that twirl, she looked like the black Stevie Nicks then! 😂❤️❤️
If you rewatch the tribute to George Harrison “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Prince, you will see STEVE WINWOOD on the keys in the back!
I was wondering when you would notice Chaka Khan, so when you didn't at first...and then you did see that it was Chaka! I loved your reaction ! Steve Winwood is a GENIUS! sooo is Chaka too!!!!
Winwood is extremely talented. On Arc of a Diver he wrote all of the songs, played all of the instruments, engineered and produced the entire album. Also, the album was recorded in his own studio
@@emmef7970 I don't know about that - Hall and Oates are his contemporaries. I think Winwood's a better dancer, more relaxed and "natural" than Bowie. Also much better looking, but that's a matter of opinion.
@@garylindsey5174 You know these days when I’m with others and that tune is playing, inevitably someone mentions how good the harmonies are. I usually respond with something like “hell yeah they are, that’s James Taylor.”
@@klonidier Hell yeah. I used to love picking voices out and then finding I was right. Not sure if you're familiar with this, but one I could never confirm, was on Van Morrison ' s "Brown Eyed Girl". The backup on the "shout la la la la la la la la latida" sounds like the guy from The Amazing Rythym Aces, known for the song "Third Rate Romance". Never could confirm that and did a lot of searching lol
This was when I discovered the glory that is Steve Winwood and was instantly smitten. Had to go back to listen to his previous groups, who I had heard of but didn’t know he was a part of. Still one of my all time favorite singers ❤️ Check out his Madison Square Garden concert with Eric Clapton. Two legends together ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Legend has it that Chaka’s recordlabel didn’t want Chaka to be credited as a duet, because she had a solo record coming out a little later. They were afraid of mixed messages in the marketing of Chaka. Consider Steve Winwoods Roll with it...
That was an awful marketing team. Chaka co-wrote Addicted to Love with Robert Palmer as a duet and Warner Brothers her record label took her vocals out for the same reasons. Dumb move.
That's our girl, MISS CHAKA KHAN😍sliding in on the harmonies & the grooving in the video~ Luv it! Try "High Life"💜( Still watching ads~u guys still donating? Say "hey" to Mama & them for me!😉✌
Last year, I was given a non emergency ambulance ride from Downey, Ca to L A Kaiser Sunset Hospital for an exploratory cardiac angiogram. The procedure discovered a 90% blockage in the artery known as the “widow maker”. The doctor placed a stent in the artery and needless to say, saved my life. This song was played on the radio during my ambulance ride. Every time I hear this song since then , it reminds me of the experience.
This is Steve Winwood in the 80's. Disco had died, and the world was ready for some soulful rock and soul. Not only is Chaka Khan on this video, but did you notice who is playing guitar? That is Niles Rogers from the group Chic ("Le Freak"), and who also did "Get Lucky" with Daft Punk just a few years ago! Steve played organ on Voodoo Child (Live version) with Jimi Hendrix, and has played with all the greats. He was known as someone who loved to jam. He is The Man!
Flogged this album like a dead horse back in the day.... Poor old Stereo! Yeah for those who remember what that was, turn tables tape decks, reel to reel, amps woodgrain finish 👂🎵👂🎵👂🎵 dial it up!!!!
Gimme Some Lovin' - Steve is so young in this but his voice...wow! It's from the 60's and you'll love it Jamel! It's my 67th birthday today and if you play it I'll get the best present!
This sister grew up listening to Steve Winwood. Had Spencer Davis Group Greatest Hits as a teenager. Loved everything he has ever done. Now you know how talented and magical he is
Steve Winwood has been around since the '60s. It's amazing how he can change with the times. This song is VERY '80's and more poppy than his classic music from the old days. Low Sparks of High Heeled Boys and Dear Mr. Fantasy are fantastic songs from when he was in the band Traffic. Must listen to both. I always thought he was just a piano player, but I watched a video recently of him with Eric Clapton, and Winwood was jamming on the guitar. Quite impressive. This guy is definitely a phenomenal talent. He was like 16 when he sang for the Spencer Davis group.
My father loved Steve Winwood. This song holds a special place in my heart as, when my father was in his final hour, I put my headphones on him and cranked it. I'd like to believe what they say about your hearing being the last to go. I wanted him to transition to a great song. - I only smile when I hear it; no sadness with Steve.
Steve Winwood is what you might call a "quiet superstar", by which I mean he wrote his first hit song when he was seventeen (I think), has played with and written for countless louder superstars, and he's still touring: stevewinwood.com/events. He's 72.
Good morning dearheart. Love watching you enjoy the music that hold memories of my "growing up" years. Love, laughter and broken hearts. Keep on keeping on! ✌Peace!
Steve Winwood can play any instrument put into his hands. He walked into his producer's office once and laid a take canister on his desk and told him, "That's my next album." His producer was dismayed and shocked because he had not hired any studio musicians or rented studio time. Steve played and recorded every instrument on the album. And did the mixing himself. The album is called Arc of a Diver.
Steve Winwood is a legend in the rock and roll world, and he has been doing it since he was 14. When you deep dive the Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic, then his solo career.
Steve is my favorite artist. Kinda glad you waited until you were fully immersed in rock before you discovered him. Love your face when you realize Chaka Kahn is singing back-up. Ain't Nobody Better than her :-)
Steve Winwood making incredible music since the 1960's with; Spencer Davis, Traffic, Blind Faith and of course as a solo artist. JJ, you can drown in this man's catalog and your reactions to any of those would be enlightening.
How much I love this man, you've made my dreams come true Jamel! He just moved seamlessly through each decade. I don't care which decade or song you do, just please do more if you can. This was awesome.

Check out Stevie when he was with the band Traffic, "Low spark of high heeled boys" and remember when listening, what you think you are hearing, is not what you are hearing.
Chaka Khan on backing vocals, and Nile Rodgers on guitar. Masterpiece. As is entire album.
"While You See a Chance," "Valerie," and "Back in the High Life" are also excellent!
Also Freedom Overspill.

Back in the highlife is a must.. but you can’t beat young Steve winwood vocals. Blind faith “Had to cry today” Spencer’s Davis group “gimmie some lovin” Traffic “dear Mr fantasy”. Can’t beat young winwood vocals.
@@neonpark1874 yes let’s also not forget split decision. He and Clapton are my top two favorite musicians of all time.

I have the SE DVd and watch it all the time.
Arc of a diver
Steve Winwood is amazing and hell yes he can sing and play. Anybody that can hang with Chaka Khan can most definitely sing! And yes, that is Niles Rodgers on bass.
With a voice like that, and Chaka Khan singing harmony and background vocals, a beat you can dance to and not want the song to end, this song could not lose. Love Steve Winwood!
Steve Winwood, Nile Rodgers, Chaka Khan, Jamel_AKA_Jamal...four amazing people in one video.
I thought that was Nile in the background...
@@pacard33 Yep that's brother Nile!
Nile Rodgers has produced a large amount of musicians for years.Duran Duran , Steve Winwood,and many more. Likely produced his band Chic in the '70's..
@@julieraymond482 I totally agree with you! That's why he's my inspiration to be not only a black rock musician but also a songwriter and producer
What WASN'T Nile Rodgers involved in during the past few decades? That man has a finger in every little musical thing there is!
I love it when the sisters sing "BRAAAAAAAAAAAANG ME A HIGHER LOVE!"
When my daughter was little, she used to sing it as "bake me a pie of love". So now I cannot hear this without thinking of that. 😂
Awww....how sweet.Those are the little things you never forget.
Lol I'm singing it from now on 🤣
Steve Winwood was the underrated soul of the 80s.
My Dad was a very melancholy depressive man, but in the 80s when this came on the radio his eyes lit up and he would be happy! RIP Dad 2016
Also, Steve Winwood- "Roll With It"
That was my absolute favorite song as a child. To this day, I can't change the radio if it comes on.
Yes, PLEASE!! I requested that yesterday, the official video version. Besides it being a fantastic song and an incredible performance by everyone playing, that video is brilliant! Just as high quality as a really well made movie.
YAAAAASSSS!!!
That song will blow his mind.
YES.
Steve Winwood is one of the most underrated musical geniuses of rock. Played with Hendrix, Clapton, Baker, Mason, Muscle Shoals Swampers, and may have been the best musician in each of those gigs. And what a voice.
I got to see him at a double bill with Tom Petty and they shared the stage a fair amount. It was fabulous.
Don't forget his time with Spenser Davis, Traffic, Blind Faith, Traffic again and then one of the finest talents of the '80s
Well at least fellow artists know his talent and always what to collaborate with him ✌❤
I don't think he is underrated at all. He's played with some of the greatest bands -- Spencer Davis, Bind Faith, Traffic. He's played with some of the greatest musicians -- Clapton, Ginger Baker, Jim Capaldi, Dave Mason, Jimi Hendrix.
To be fair, This song won the Grammy for record of the year. It was was against legendary songs.
This song is sooooooooooooooooooooo underrated! Easily in one of my top 20 songs of all time across every type of music. The lyrics are realer than people give credit for. This song is a prayer, period. I church to this all the time.
Love that expression! I definitely CHURCH TO THIS!!!
'While you see a chance ' is another great Steve Winwood song

Greatness recognizes greatness
My very favorite Steve Winwood song. And Chaka!!! I will never tire of it. Ever.
One of my favorite songs from the 80's. Not only did you have Chaka on vocals, you had Nile Rogers on guitar. A musical dream.
Yes! That IS Chaka Khan! Speaking of: nothing like her.
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟
Yes that is Chaka. Excellent thank you Jamel for keeping great music alive ☮️
epic groove + synth parts + brilliant melodies + spiritually meaningful and resonant lyrics = legendary song
winwood is the Real Deal.
Steve hated that he had to dance in the video. It’s funny hearing him talk about it because he said he couldn’t dance and felt so embarrassed.

Who is that model holding her dress on with her hands? She looks familiar too.
I had forgotten that Chaka Kahn was in this with him. I still think she’s one of the most beautiful and talented women on the planet, she, and Annie Lennox.
And Grace Jones. And Janis Joplin. And Nina Simone....
who is the most beautiful Chaka? Chaka Khan is the most ugliest on his planet,she is not better than Tina Turner
@@mikkelbreiler9921 Tina Turner she is the best.
@@Dino-su2wh
I love the queen of Rock And Roll Tina Turner
But Chaka is far from ugly
She's Amazing and Damn Good Looking
I love this collaboration between Steve and Chaka! Don’t we all feel about life and love and soul like this song sounds?! I hope we’ve all been blessed to have felt like that at some time or another.
HUGE 80’s hit! Couldn’t turn on the radio and not hear it!😊. ❤️💜✌️✨
Steve wrote and sung "I'm a Man" at the age of fifteen - and he proved it too. "Gimme Some Loving" from the same era is still shockingly great.
He started with Spencer Davis at 14 but their first record was released when he was 16. Both I'm a Man and Gimme Some Lovin' were written and recorded when he was 18. The latter was conceived, written, rehearsed, and a rough demo made by the band in about 45 minutes.
Every time I hear Gimme Some Loving, I instantly think of Iron Eagle...
Steve Winwood and that Hammond B3 sound just go together like milk and honey.
"Gimme Some Loving" Oh Jeeze, memories!!!!
Classic Winwood from 1966. GIMME SOME LOVIN' from the guy who co-wrote it! ua-cam.com/video/Iv6Q-v-94Lo/v-deo.html
I love this song! You can’t go wrong with Steve Winwood, Chaka Khan, and Nile Rogers on guitar! I loved when Chaka did that twirl, she looked like the black Stevie Nicks then! 😂❤️❤️
MS. Chaka is a class act ...period! Her back up vocals made the song for me!
Love Steve Windwood's voice! Yes that's Chaka! Incredible voice too!
And that's Nile Roger's playing guitar. Love this song.
Nice catch!! NR
I didn’t even know that! Thanks
And Chaka Khan on backup vocals. :)
He is such a king!
Steve Winwood Is so underrated. Please try reacting o Finer Things, Roll With It and Back In the High Life, please! All great tunes.
The finer things, so good.
This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥Chaka's added vocals brought this song to a whole other level.
You need a deep dive into his work with Traffic - especially: "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" and "Dear Mr. Fantasy."
I was going to suggest that but you beat me to it🤣
He'll be in that Traffic lane for the rest of his young life, and what a deep, long ride!
My thoughts exactly, Dear Mr Fantasy
@@jonstiner3424 he just Did that one last week
I'm a man is good too!

Winwood is extremely talented. On Arc of a Diver he wrote all of the songs, played all of the instruments, engineered and produced the entire album. Also, the album was recorded in his own studio
And the album before that (the self titled one) if my memory serves me right. Both brilliant pieces of work.
To my eye, Steve Winwood dances like a mix of Darryl Hall and David Bowie.
Yrs’
Yes*
But he was doing it first!
@@emmef7970 I don't know about that - Hall and Oates are his contemporaries. I think Winwood's a better dancer, more relaxed and "natural" than Bowie. Also much better looking, but that's a matter of opinion.
And a BeeGee of some variety
When Chaka goes off, she brought the “higher love”!
An incredible song, Chaka Kahn is the whipped cream & cherry on top.
I just love Chaka Khan that is some class act the rang in her voice is incredible.
You'll like "Back In The High Life" too.

ugly vocal
She killed it
@@Dino-su2wh
Ugly?
That is, indeed, Miss Chaka Khan.
Without question, my favorite 80s song. I can sing every word to every song on Back In The High Life.
I was a teenager before I found out that Gimme Some Lovin’ was sung by a 16 year old English white kid. He’s one of my absolute favorite male singers.
With the Spencer Davis Group, amazing vocals
"Back In The High Life" is a GREAT album. One of the best of all time.
This was when I discovered the glory that is Steve Winwood and was instantly smitten. Had to go back to listen to his previous groups, who I had heard of but didn’t know he was a part of.

This entire album "Arc Of The Diver" is phenomenal, every track played by Steve Winwood. Excellent choice sir.
"Arc of the Diver" was the album before this one.
One of my all time favourites, thanks so much for this, and I also didn’t realise Chaka was singing on this song.
He's the original "Blue-eyed Soul Singer"!
Time to go seek out the Rightreous Brothers James, years before the Giant Steve Winwood.
@@toddstevens13 I knew that would come up, they are not that far apart in the year they started. Good catch but I still prefer Steve!
If you want Winwoods greatest vocals check out “had to cry today” Blind Faith, Spencer Davis group “gimmie some lovin” and Traffic “dear Mr fantasy”.
Classic Winwood from 1966. GIMME SOME LOVIN' from the guy who co-wrote it! ua-cam.com/video/Iv6Q-v-94Lo/v-deo.html
I love their cover of Buddy Holly's "Well Alright" on Blind Faith.

Stephan, Steve cited Ray Charles as one of his idols.
Idk how anyone could be in a bad mood listening to a song like this. 80s music is the greatest

I get that. He's that good.

Putting in a vote for Steve Winwood - The Finer Things.
Hendrix said he was only nervous by a few... Stevie was one. Ty for this I hope everyone find this jam and has a beautiful day
Steve Winwood is what you might call a "quiet superstar", by which I mean he wrote his first hit song when he was seventeen (I think), has played with and written for countless louder superstars, and he's still touring: stevewinwood.com/events. He's 72.
I think he was more like 15. He was first hired at age 12, yes 12, to play Hammond organ for the biggest names in US blues when they toured the UK.
Good morning dearheart. Love watching you enjoy the music that hold memories of my "growing up" years. Love, laughter and broken hearts. Keep on keeping on! ✌Peace!
Steve Winwood can play any instrument put into his hands. He walked into his producer's office once and laid a take canister on his desk and told him, "That's my next album." His producer was dismayed and shocked because he had not hired any studio musicians or rented studio time. Steve played and recorded every instrument on the album. And did the mixing himself.

One of my fave songs from the 80’s. Brilliant and uplifting, ❤️❤️
Customers in the grocery store start moving when they play jams like this
This album brings me back to much simpler happy times as a kid, this whole album was uplifting
Steve Winwood is a legend in the rock and roll world, and he has been doing it since he was 14. When you deep dive the Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic, then his solo career.
Gimme Some Lovin’ when he was with the Spencer Davis Group. He’s been around for decades!
Started @ 16 years old :)
He's not even famous for his voice, it's his keyboard skills he's in demand for. This whole album is absolutely brilliant.
He has been famous for his voice since he started singing with bands in England as a teenager in the 1960’s.
@@jackiefloyd8003 He played Hammond on many many albums he didn't sing on is what I meant.
@@richardgoddard37 I see what you mean
Agreed.
STEVE AND CHAKA! MY JAM!
One of my favorite pop songs of all time. 👍🏻
Steve Winwood…the complete musical package
You can't help but move when that song comes on
Dude, your wall is looking good.
Steve is my favorite artist. Kinda glad you waited until you were fully immersed in rock before you discovered him. Love your face when you realize Chaka Kahn is singing back-up. Ain't Nobody Better than her :-)
Simply one of the best songs to come out of the 1980s.
There are a number of songs where he played all of the instruments and music, and then went back and sung the lyrics too.
Steve Winwood making incredible music since the 1960's with; Spencer Davis, Traffic, Blind Faith and of course as a solo artist. JJ, you can drown in this man's catalog and your reactions to any of those would be enlightening.
Most Underrated Singer of Alltime!
This song, Roll With It, The Finer Things, Valerie....all played like crazy in the late 80s. Great stuff.
The summer this came out it was played constantly on the radio and MTV.
How much I love this man, you've made my dreams come true Jamel! He just moved seamlessly through each decade. I don't care which decade or song you do, just please do more if you can. This was awesome.
There is no one in the music business who doesn't have uber respect for Steve Winwood. He was a prodigy.
