Chaka Kahn's record label didn't want her credited because she had an album coming out at the same time. Steve Winwood is a musical genius. His Traffic era is my favorite. Dear Mr. Fantasy & Empty Pages are must listens
Probably the only person who can say that by the time he graduated High School, he'd already played with Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B. B. King, Chuck Berry, and Bo Diddley.
Chaka Khan....Steve Winwood was a child prodigy...did I'm a Man at age 16 with The Spencer David Group, was a backup player to Ray Charles when he was 13 when Ray toured England. Was in his own band Traffic, teamed with Eric Clapton for one album with Super Group Blind Faith, solo career.. he's only in his 70s...he dropped out of school at 15 after his group knocked the Beatles out of first place on the charts in 1967....
thanks.. saved me typing that all out. Definitely worth checking out 'Gimme Some Lovin' by The Spencer Davis Group' It's Soul. Cut that Blue Eye Soul BS out.
Listen for the inimitable Chaka Khan on this fantastic piece. She appears briefly a couple times. Great choice! "Finer Things" from this same LP, is another great piece! ✌️
Steve Winwood was hot for a good minute in the 80's but he was around since the early 70's in some very influencial bands. Great pick, try a few more, you won't be disappointed.
Stephen Lawrence Winwood (born 12 May 1948) is an English musician and songwriter whose genres include blue-eyed soul, rhythm and blues, blues rock and pop rock. Though primarily a guitarist, keyboard player and vocalist, prominent for his distinctive soulful high tenor voice, Winwood plays other instruments proficiently, including drums, mandolin, bass and saxophone. Winwood achieved fame during the 1960s and 1970s as an integral member of three major bands: the Spencer Davis Group (1964-1967), Traffic (1967-1969 and 1970-1974) and Blind Faith (1969). During the 1980s, his solo career flourished and he had a number of hit singles, including "While You See a Chance" (1980) from the album Arc of a Diver and "Valerie" (1982) from Talking Back to the Night ("Valerie" became a hit when it was re-released with a remix from Winwood's 1987 compilation album Chronicles). His 1986 album Back in the High Life marked his career zenith, with hit singles including "Back in the High Life Again", "The Finer Things", and the US Billboard Hot 100 number one hit "Higher Love". He found the top of the Hot 100 again with "Roll with It" (1988) from the album of the same name, with "Holding On" also charting highly the same year. Although his hit singles ceased after the 1980s, he continued to release new albums up to 2008, when Nine Lives, his latest album, was released. In 2004, Winwood was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Traffic. He has won two Grammy Awards and an Ivor Novello Award, and has been honored as BMI Icon. In 2008, Rolling Stone ranked Winwood number 33 on its list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.
Steve Winwood is also Queen Camilla's, King Charles, his wife , the Queen is Steve's Aunt, Aunt Camilla. His Mother and Queen Camilla are sisters. Amazing, it's a small world GOD SAVE THE KING
Steve Winwood was a teenager when he sang “Gimme Some Lovin” as a member of the Spencer Davis Group. Another banger from the sixties. He’s had so many great hits. Thanks guys.
Chaka Khan doing the backup vocals. He's had that voice since he was a kid. Look up Spencer Davis Group, "gimme some lovin'". The lead singer is him at around 15 or 16. And I think playing the organ too. Edit: someone else reminded me. Also a young Steve Windwood with the same group, "I'm a man".
Absolutely LOVE y’all’s reactions!!! And this song rocks!! Especially the percussion intro!! Yes Corey! Exactly! Blue eyed soul! Music is the UNIVERSAL language!!
This song reminds me of basic training. Our drill Sargent loved to troll us by blasting this and Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long" in the dorms while PTing us to death.
Nile Rodgers was doing a lot of producing in the 80's for example David Bowie let's dance, Madonna like a virgin, Duran Duran notorious! For this song, he plays rhythm guitar on the recording.
Steve Winwood is a devout Christian raised in the Anglican church and if you read the lyrics it's a declaration of his faith which is awesome to me. Yes that's Chaka Khan in background vocals and Nile Rogers on guitar
Glad you spotted Nile Rodgers from Chic. Steve Winwood has played with an incredible number of top notch artists from many different styles of music; Jimi Hendrix, Howlin' Wolf, B B. King, Eddie Harris, Eric Clapton (Steve and Eric were in the band Blind Faith together), and many more. He was in the Spencer Davis Group which I know you'll dig, Traffic, such an amazing band, Blind Faith as I previously mentioned, and a solo career. You will really dig all these different bands he's been in. The guy's an absolute gifted genius.
I remember hearing this for the first time on the radio in '86 and fell in love with it right off. You can't NOT move to it. I didn't even know he was British until listening to his song "Valerie" when you can hear the accent and then I looked it up and found he was British. He's got some really good ones - keep checking them out!
Talking of small musical worlds, Winwood was in a band called Blindfaith, with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker from Cream in 1969. He is a multi-instrumentalist who started professionally at 15 in The Spencer Davis group, a U.K. 1960’s beat group who had hits both sides of the pond, then Traffic, also big in the states, before a successful solo career
I was just listening to Steve Winwood essentials when on a recent road trip. Learned he was a musical prodigy from his teens. My favorite of Steve Winwood is “Finer Things.”
1st Winwood album I bought… I remember looking to see who the great musicians were- mandolin, synthesizer, guitars, percussion- and it was all Stevie. Wow.
@@jimmoore8951 First time I listened to the whole album, I was spending two weeks in London, UK, visiting my then bf, whom I'd met in Israel, back in late 1981. I bought the album then - and twice more on cd, decades later. Every time I hear any of the tracks somewhere, or listen to the whole album at home, all the lovely memories come rushing back - without fail.😊 SW is so talented - a true musical genius.
I am a new subscriber, and I am a white man in my late 70s. I have been watching your older videos, and I really respect your outlook on expanding your mind to new types of music to broaden your musical knowledge. I have a massive album collection that I have been collecting since the late 50s, and I have almost every type of music in my collection. You three have encouraged me to try more hip hop and rap music that I know very little about. I love your reactions. Peace.
@@thisisitreactions When you react to Steve Winwood's classic banger, *"Valerie",* you'll have two versions to pick from. He released the song twice, originally in '82. and that version only reached # 70 on the US Billboard 100; and then an up-tempo version in '87, and that one reached # 9 in the US Billboard 100. Both versions have music videos, and both are really good. Personally, I prefer the music of the '87 version, and the video of the '82 version. Lol So I guess what I'm saying is, you can't go wrong. Flip a coin. :D
Steve Winwood as a teenager started playing with the Spencer Davis Group, the formed Traffic then one album as member of Blind Faith which featured Eric Clapton on guitar and Ginger Baker on drums after Cream disbanded. Then went onto a solo career. You won’t be disappointed.
Steve Winwood ❤! Roll With It is an awesome song and video. And go way back to 17 year old Steve with the Spencer Davis Group, Gimme Some Lovin and Im a Man. Steve with Traffic with one of my personal favorites, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. A classic! Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton live concert album in Central Park, Can't Find My Way Home. So much more to enjoy from Mr. Winwood.
More Steve Winwood - with The Spencer Davis Group "Gimme Some Lovin'" & a cover of "I'm A Man" (he was 16 at the time) and one of my faves with Traffic "Dear Mr. Fantasy".
Other songs that were hits for Steve and worth listening to are… Valerie, The Finer Things, and While You See a Chance. Steve was in the group The Spencer Davis Group and Traffic before going solo.
"Roll With It" video is fantastic. Stevie is immortalized by the riveting "Can't Find My Way Home". There's a terrific video of him and Clapton, Derek Trucks, and Doyle Bramhall at Eric's Guitar Festival in the Caribbean...fund raiser for his Crossroads addiction rehab. Their performance is moving...as Clapton and Stevie were in the supergroup Blind Faith in the late 60's/early 70's.
Steve Winwood was first with British band Spencer Davis Group ("Gimme Some Lovin"), then Traffic ("Dear Mr. Fantasy"), then Blind Faith ("Can't Find My Way Home"), then solo. He co-wrote this song with Chaka on background vocals. That's Nile Rodgers from Chic on guitar. Check out the 3 songs mentioned above. All great! He evolved over his career.
This guy has been around forever. Made his bones playing with his older brother Muff in the Spencer Davis Group. Dude was underage but sounded like Ray Charles. Couple of years later he was supposed to be in The Cream with Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton, but it fell through. Instead he was in Traffic and the Blind Faith with Baker and Clapton when The Cream imploded. All this stuff before the age of 22. Winwood played organ in one of my favorite albums, _The Colour of Spring_ by Talk Talk, a band that would later become extremely influential.
That was such a great album from beginning to the end. It flowed in very well with the funk and soul of the time. Thanks for bringing back 80’s memories. 🖖🏼
Classic 🙌 1980s pop song 🎵. Written by Steve Winwood and Will Jennings. Produced by Steve Winwood abd Russell Titelman. Right ✅ All-star 🌟 band. Chaka Khan on backing vocal. Nile Rodgers with a hat 👒 on rhythm guitar. Eddie Marinez on lead guitar 🎸. Philip Saisse on synth bass 🔊. David Robinson (not the basketball player, not the one from The Cars) on drums 🥁. Chaka Khan was on the Robert Palmer song Addicted to Love the year before. The year after this song, Eddie Marinez on lead guitar on the other Robert Palmer song Simply Irresistible.
One of the best songs ever!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Add Chaka Kahn and Niles Rogers!! His older stuff with The Spencer Davis Group and Blind Faith with Eric Clapton is awesome as well. A musical genius!!!
I love Steve Winwood! So many British singers just ooze SOUL, baby!
“ROLL WITH IT” is a banger! The video is SO great!!
Nice suggestion
I was going to suggest Roll With It too! Hope they give it a listen - and put on the original video - Fire 🔥
Chaka Khan on background vocals 🔥
Nile Rodgers on guitar, too.
Chaka Kahn's record label didn't want her credited because she had an album coming out at the same time. Steve Winwood is a musical genius. His Traffic era is my favorite. Dear Mr. Fantasy & Empty Pages are must listens
I loved this song when it came out.
Steve Winwood is top notch, can't go wrong with his music ❤

“ Nobody Loves You When You’re Down and Out” Steve at 18 doing Ray.

Love this!
Windwood... OMG he wrote some extraordinary and complex songs. What a genius!
Listen for the inimitable Chaka Khan on this fantastic piece. She appears briefly a couple times. Great choice! "Finer Things" from this same LP, is another great piece! ✌️
She sings back up on the choruses, too.
If you dive back into Steve Winwood, definitely rock out to Roll with it.
Steve is a genius. Great voice & great musician.
Anything by Steve Winwood is gold...but y'all gotta do "Roll With It." You just gotta. It's too good to let it slip by.
Steve Winwood's keyboard jam in the middle of Traffic's "Empty pages" is fantastic.
Steve Winwood // Blind Faith - "Can't Find My Way Home"
Steve Winwood was hot for a good minute in the 80's but he was around since the early 70's in some very influencial bands. Great pick, try a few more, you won't be disappointed.
Chaka and also Nile Rogers. The whole album is awesome.

Good reply, but you should have emphasized the fact that he started out at the age of 14. His Greatest hits are Rock and Roll songs!
Steve Winwood is also
Queen Camilla's, King Charles, his wife , the Queen is Steve's Aunt, Aunt Camilla.
His Mother and Queen Camilla are sisters.
Amazing, it's a small world
GOD SAVE THE KING
Steve Winwood was a teenager when he sang “Gimme Some Lovin” as a member of the Spencer Davis Group. Another banger from the sixties. He’s had so many great hits. Thanks guys.
This is artistry. I love it all the way through but when Chaka starts belting it out I feel like I just got a birthday present.
Steve Winwood is so good. A prodigy at the age 14.
That's Chaka
One of the original members of Traffic. Listen to their classic song ‘Dear Mr. Fantasy’
Chaka Khan doing the backup vocals.
He's had that voice since he was a kid. Look up Spencer Davis Group, "gimme some lovin'". The lead singer is him at around 15 or 16. And I think playing the organ too.
Edit: someone else reminded me. Also a young Steve Windwood with the same group, "I'm a man".
And The Spencer Davis Group's first #1 hit "Keep On Running!"
Chaka Kahn, The Queen herself!! He has another great song, “Valerie”. Thanks guys! 😊
Well said Fenom!
Steve Winwood had some feelgood songs.
winwood is a legend ..everybody knows it ...
Great song, always have had the biggest crush on Chaka khan
Absolutely LOVE y’all’s reactions!!! And this song rocks!! Especially the percussion intro!!
Yes Corey! Exactly! Blue eyed soul! Music is the UNIVERSAL language!!
Chaka Khan was background vocals at the end...this song...for what it is...actually had the groove.
This song reminds me of basic training. Our drill Sargent loved to troll us by blasting this and Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long" in the dorms while PTing us to death.
Steve Winwood - "The Finer Things". :)
It's such a great song 🎵 🎉
Great reaction you guys!
Steve Winwood and CHAKA KHAN!!! 😎
Roll with it. Another good one
This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥and Chaka's powerful vocals took the song to another level.
Nile Rodgers was doing a lot of producing in the 80's for example David Bowie let's dance, Madonna like a virgin, Duran Duran notorious! For this song, he plays rhythm guitar on the recording.
Steve Winwood is a devout Christian raised in the Anglican church and if you read the lyrics it's a declaration of his faith which is awesome to me. Yes that's Chaka Khan in background vocals and Nile Rogers on guitar
This song is so dope!!! Great song!!!
"Little Stevie Windwood" YES!
Chaka 🤘🤘
For the longest time, I didn't know this was Chaka backing up Steve, but I always felt her part helped send this to the top.
Thanks for listening
Stevie was lead singer of the Spencer Davis Group when he was 17, then Blind Faith, then Traffic, then his solo career - keyboards and guitars as well

Check Steve Winwood out, when he was 15.....Blow You Away
Ollie was fired up today 😅
You know it's a banger when Olli gets his groove on.😂
I thought he was a cardboard cutout until now.
@@FelixcatGarcia😂😂😂😂😂
I said the same thing, Olli woke up and started moving, which was a surprise!
I was just listening to Steve Winwood essentials when on a recent road trip. Learned he was a musical prodigy from his teens. My favorite of Steve Winwood is “Finer Things.”
Steve winwood and chaka khan ufff amazing duet great great song
It’s a vibe and it was constantly on the radio back in the day. Love it! Thanks, y’all. 🤟🏼
Steve Winwood's album 'ARC OF A DIVER' (released in 1980 - and where he plays all the instruments...) is a Classic Masterpiece.
1st Winwood album I bought… I remember looking to see who the great musicians were- mandolin, synthesizer, guitars, percussion- and it was all Stevie. Wow.

Bernard Edwards from Chic was playing the bass... great tune
this guy was a teen when he started making albums. his voice was unbelievable for some teen kid.
And check out his 1969 hit "Can't Find My Way Home." OMG. OMG. OMG.
"Give some love" great song
❤❤❤ great reaction to a great song❤❤❤❤
Definitely need to do ROLL WITH IT next

Steve Winwood ❤!
Roll With It is an awesome song and video.
And go way back to 17 year old Steve with the Spencer Davis Group, Gimme Some Lovin and Im a Man.
Steve with Traffic with one of my personal favorites, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. A classic!
Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton live concert album in Central Park, Can't Find My Way Home.
So much more to enjoy from Mr. Winwood.
For the first time I see Olli waking up and moving, hahaha!!
The whole damn album was great and sold a ton!
80s ❤❤❤❤
Traffic - Low spark of high heeled boys for some more Steve Winwood... please 🙏
Steve (Stevie) Winwood started in the band The Spencer Davis Group when he was 14.
"Roll with it" is worth a listen as well
Stevie and Chaka 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤😊
Really like how you enjoy music, Corey Roy. 😊
More Steve Winwood - with The Spencer Davis Group "Gimme Some Lovin'" & a cover of "I'm A Man" (he was 16 at the time) and one of my faves with Traffic "Dear Mr. Fantasy".
It's not a cover of "I'm A Man." The Spencer Davis Group with Steve Winwood are the originators and Chicago's version is the cover.
nile rodgers playing that amazing dance/funk/light-as-air style guitar work - love this song! ❤
Nile also appears in the video at the end with Chaka Khan during her backing vocals. "Roll with it" is another great tune from him.
No he didn’t. Nile only played guitar. Where do you people get this stuff? Winwood produced his own music.
@@johnnyhancock76 you're right! now edited.
Other songs that were hits for Steve and worth listening to are… Valerie, The Finer Things, and While You See a Chance. Steve was in the group The Spencer Davis Group and Traffic before going solo.
Great song which came out when the people were united & loving feel good songs from the 60’s & 70’s. Steve Winwood had a great voice back then.👍👏👏👏🩵🩵🩵
Hall of Famer. Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith and Traffic. Had a great solo career as well. Thank you dudes
Can't even imagine this without Miss Chaka
You also might enjoy Sting - If You Love Somebody Set Them Free. Sting joined with some amazing artists on the song.
Cheers for the video.
I love the whole "Dream of the Blue Turtles" album. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hope it’s the official video.yes!!!! 😊look for Chaka Kahn
"Roll With It" video is fantastic.

if you ever been to a supermarket or a mall, you've probably heard this song b4, without even realizing it.
Steve Winwood awesome musician! 'Valerie' my favourite song of his.. you guys would know it as well 😅
You should check out The Spencer Davis Group "Gimme Some Lovin". I think Steve Winwood was 17 years old when they recorded that.
That was such a great album from beginning to the end. It flowed in very well with the funk and soul of the time. Thanks for bringing back 80’s memories. 🖖🏼
Yall gotta react to ROLL WITH IT. That song will funkify any soul.
He had some good grooves in the Spencer Davis Group, in Traffic, and other band and solo projects. Worth a dive into his catalog IMO. Nice reaction!
Shits so dope
Classic 🙌 1980s pop song 🎵.
Written by Steve Winwood and Will Jennings. Produced by Steve Winwood abd Russell Titelman.
Right ✅ All-star 🌟 band. Chaka Khan on backing vocal. Nile Rodgers with a hat 👒 on rhythm guitar. Eddie Marinez on lead guitar 🎸. Philip Saisse on synth bass 🔊. David Robinson (not the basketball player, not the one from The Cars) on drums 🥁.

Being an election year, I nominate this for best song of the 80s
Ahhh, man, this whole album is a banger. Had this cassette in my new 87 Mustang. Wore it out. Phew, a lifetime ago!
One of my favorites. ❤❤
One of the best songs ever!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Add Chaka Kahn and Niles Rogers!! His older stuff with The Spencer Davis Group and Blind Faith with Eric Clapton is awesome as well. A musical genius!!!
