Love that Chaka Khan is singing with Steve ❤️✌️
YES!! I agree. She spices up the song from solidly good to GREAT. Such a smile to the listener. Love it.
As if this song wasn’t already good enough, Chaka joins the party and takes it to another level
Asia is one fine looking lady, rock on!
Beautiful
masterpiece by steve winwood with backing vocals by chaka khan and guitar and produced by nile rodgers from chic. just BRILLIANT ❤
Niles Rodgers equals absolute American Genius. Responsible for such great, creative music.
Absolutely, Nile Rodgers on guitar. 3 legendary musicians here.
Ah! I was going to mention Nile Rodgers but I see you already have it covered. Back when this video first came out I hadn't noticed him in the video, but I did notice just now LOL
Steve Winwood is British and has been around since the 70s he is a Legend. 👍
His first song was released in the mid 60s. 5 decades of entertaining
Late to the party here, but Steve Winwood got his start at 14 with The Spencer Davis Group in 1963 at 14 years old. Gimme Some Lovin’ was probably their biggest song.
Hearing Chaka Khan in the supporting vocals.....gives me chills every time!
Me to. Wow love to hear her voice. So talented. Still listen to Rufus.
@@leonardlaufer8296 love.... Through the fire by Chaka!
Nothing like a little Stevie Winwood! This whole album was huge when it came out. Memories!
I was lucky enough to have it!
Yep 12th grade for me. Wore this album out!
The same voice that you hear in one of the greatest rock songs of its era, "Can't find my way home".
Stevie Winwood started at 16 yrs old. Incredible musical history with many connections with other musicians.
When he was Stevie . . .Too young to play in the bars, too
He was 14 when he started with The Spencer Davis Group
Yes he was 14 playing behind curtains in a Pub Bar because he was to young to be in the Bar.
@@Justyna_N even younger than I thought. So cool he had the confidence at a young age.
So far removed from Blind Faith or Traffic but the guy was so talented he could do anything. Still doing it too!
Yep, Chaka Khan both did those backing vocals at the end, and she was featured in the music video, along with Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers.
Nobody like Stevie Winwood! Love this one! Such a great vibe. Shaka Khan! Thanks!
UK’s own Steve Winwood
Take a listen to15 year old Steve Winwood - Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out... you'd be blown away by his voice at that age! (he was a great fan of Ray Charles)
Backing vocals….Chaka Khan 👍❤️🎼❤️
Check Stevie Winwood at 15. It's insane.
That is THEE Great Chaka Khan backing up Steve Winwood on vocals. Fun fact. 😉…sorry, I posted before the end of your video and saw where you mentioned Chaka Khan…
No worries!
Next up from Steve Winwood, how about "I'm a Man" from back in 1967 when he was with The Spencer Davis Group? I vote YES‼ edit: PS the guys in Chicago loved it so much that they released their cover in 1969 and had their hit with it too😉
Steve Winwood is so talented and has been producing music since 1964. A great Singer/ Songwriter Guitarist Keyboard player .
And he still has his voice. Most old geezer rock stars can't sing anymore, but Steve still has the gift.
Steve Winwood has nice clean sound and a great selection of instruments 🎸🎷 in the fills
Michael Bolton?!? Quite the insult to Steve Winwood
Peter Frampton is who he sounds like
Yeah, taking me back to simpler times.This guy had a natural soulful grove. Once again try this song live.
Asia & BJ, you’ll love his “The Finer Things”, "While You See A Chance" and "Valerie!!!!
He was in the bands The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic and Blind Faith before going solo!
Not to mention “arc of a diver” and “roll with it” both of which are album title tracks mr winwood was killing it in the 80s👊
Dont forget Spanish Dancer!
@@johntremmel3949 just fyi, they reacted to Roll With It 2 weeks ago
Yes! I love Valerie.
... and don´t forget "Back in th high life"
A couple of months ago, I was in ASDA and one day all of a sudden, this song came on the radio and I was like "Hey That's Steve Winwood" then I started singing along.
Wife here.., This song was extremely popular when it came out.., !! I Loooove this!!.., Still gets alot of air time on 80's hits radio 👌...Awesome to see you guys enjoying this incredible hit!!...❣
Hi! You are Steve's wife? He knows i mite be his biggest fan. At many of his live concerts. Did you see what i just wrote. I named him top musician of the modern era! Thanks! Steve
Produced by Nile Rodgers!
His funky fingerprints are ALL OVER this!
Reminds me of my backcountry days in Sequoia National Park. Love Steve Winwood and Chaka Khan.
Ain't Nobody by Chaka is a badazz song!
Stuck in the 80's music. Lol
I believe it’s his daughter, Lily Winwood that also sings an acoustic version of this and it’s beautiful
Steve Winwood is a musical genius! Very underated. I named him top musician of the modern era! Look into everything he has done. Really Amazing!
I love this. There is a live performance of Steve and Chaka Khan singing this and I love it. She is so beautiful.
It’s like this song has just been there all our lives!
You guys are batting a 1000 today ! Boston and Steve Winwood...I'm lovin it !
This is amongst Steve’s most acclaimed and popular tunes . He has done so much in this industry starting with The Spencer Davis Group when he was a young teenager in the mid 1960’s through Traffic and then his own brilliant solo career.Michael Bolton wish he had half the talent that Mr. Winwood has who can play any and all instruments.
Winwood is 1960s rock royalty, and man did he have a great comeback in the 1980s. His 1st hit, btw, was with the Spencer Davis group: "Gimme Some Lovin'". British Motown, basically.
Stevie Winwood is still performing 2023. Getting better every year.
One of the greatest songs of all time I've been listening to it for decades
Great reaction y'all, especially when y'all figured out "I know this!"
Unmistakable voice of Stevie
Yall need to check out Traffic the band Steve Winwood was in. One of there best songs is Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. I think yall will enjoy !!
Asia & B.J. go back to the '60's when Steve was with the Spencer Davis Group and listen to 'Gimme Some Lovin.' Don't think you will be disappointed.
Check out his vid when he was 15!!!!!!!!!!! ..AWESOME VOICE!!!!
Steve's a very pious man - has been going all the way back through Blind Faith
Spencer Davis Group.......Gimme Gimme Some Lovin
This is why I like reaction channels! When you discover something special... Like Chaka Khan singing backup for Steve Winwood. Loved this reaction!!
Steve the quintessential child prodigy and mega cool.
Valerie by Steve Winwood is incredible!
He doing easy listening music for the older generation
Great choice! You should do more of his songs, including when he was in the Spencer Davis Group.
GREAT song.. love it!
This guy had collaborated with a lot of stars from Jimi Hendrix all the way to Christina Aguilera!
One of my favorites! Just love Chaka Khan in the ending part.
You know what's a blast as far as Steve's songs go? Roll With It. So funky. The video is cool AF.
They reacted to it a few weeks ago. Check it out. 💜
Should have heard his voice when he was 15 years old!! And yes I saw his concerts with the Spencer Davis Group !!! Kudos to you !!!)🥰😍🤩
I remember when this song came out. Was a great time to be in my 20s during the 80s!!! Awesome music and awesome times!!!
Roll with It by Steve Winwood
They have a reaction to it on their channel 💜 check it out
I freaking love this sound from the late 80s and early 90s with the horns. It's very Go West. If you haven't listened to any Go West I recommend it, you'll recognize some songs.
Of I am remembering correctly. Chaka Khan is actually in the music video for this song. So, I have known probably since the 80s that she was doing the backup vocals. She doesn't come in until near the end of the video when she has more of a solo part of her own, though.It was also the theme of the movie Big Business, a really good comedy.
Steve Winwood has more talent in his little finger than Michael Bolton . I'll overlook this faux pas this time ! LOL
I'm in Aus from my UK home visiting family but I just had to check out your reaction to Stevie's "Higher Love". I just knew you'd love it. Any artist who has Chaka Khan in the backing vocals is got to be good, right?
Such a great pick!!
I love Chaka Khan. And Steve Windwood is amazing. Such a great duo.
one of the greatest choruses in all the '80s.
He was great in concert!
It’s been a long time since I heard this song. Thanks for rekindling some memories
this record is amazing from start to finish.."take it as it comes" "back in the high life" "the finer things" "split decision"
This song hella takes me back to my childhood. 90's. My auntys would babysit all of us cousins and we would jam out to this on the way to the drive in theaters. All of us packed in the station wagon blasting this song and many other classics... damn... life as a simple, ghetto kid. Much love and thanks for the nostalgia!!! Your Tongan friend from Utah. 💯💯💯
Loved this song. They played it so much on the radio.
For more Steve Winwood, check out ‘Arc of a Diver’.
Best album in the 80s came out in 1986 Back in the high life” Nile Rodgers was a producer and played on the album and this track has did Chaka Khan
Always enjoy your reactions,, WHO DAT!!! BJ sporting Saints gear👍
Valerie is also good!
Back In The High Life, The Finer Things, Valerie and Roll With It all great Steve Winwood songs.
Check out their reaction to Roll With It from a few weeks ago. I requested it, and they loved it so much that I requested this one too. 👊
You guys should here Steve. In his first band . The Spencer Davis group . He was 17 or 18 ( 60s ) some amazing songs I bet you probably heard at least one before. . His voice snd a church organ. ( keep on running ) or ( I'm a man ) a few other great song . ( gimme some a loven) that's still used in commercials today .
Yes…finally ❤
This was and continues to be one of my jams!!
"Higher Love" was Steve Winwood's first #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, on August 30, 1986. It spent a week at #1. His biggest hit is "Roll With It," which reached #1 on July 30, 1988 and spent four weeks at #1. Those are his two #1 hits. In all, he had 14 solo hits on the Hot 100 from 1981-1990, including 10 Top 40 hits, six Top 10 hits, and the two aforementioned #1 hits. Here are his solo hits in chronological order:
"While You See A Chance" (#7 in 1981)
"Higher Love" (#1 in 1986)
"Freedom Overspill" (#20 in 1986)
"The Finer Things" (#8 in 1987)
"Back In The High Life Again" (#13 in 1987)
"Valerie" (#9 in 1987)
"Roll With It" (#1 in 1988)
"Don't You Know What The Night Can Do?" (#6 in 1988)
"Holding On" (#11 in 1989)
"One And Only Man" (#18 in 1990)
I am a big fan of most of Steve Winwood's solo work, but "Higher Love" has always been my favorite of his. It has a big sound, a memorable chorus, an elaborate song structure, and sublime vocal assistance from Chaka Khan.
Also worth noting is that "Valerie" was originally recorded in 1982, and that version peaked at #70. The 1987 version that peaked at #9 is a re-recording, and, in my opinion, is the superior version, though I do like the original version OK as well.
Steve has this amazing gift from God's grace and he can have anyone to sing with him on this song his choice was Chaka Khan whose vocals are unmistakable she is just a powerful little lady who just delivers the best every time.
Artists that reminds me or could be easily recognizable with Steve Winwood are, Bruce Hornsby, Robert Palmer, Eddie Money, Huey Lewis and the News, Rick Springfield, just to name a few.
Great chemistry and vibe from the two of you.
Steve was in the Spencer Davis Group. Y'all should check out the song "Give me all your loving" by the Spencer Davis Group. That is some of Steve Windwood early years.
Thanks 😀
This was my song with my husband when we were dating and then engaged. Great song, wonderful memories! ❤️
Steve Winwood had a lot of great hits, but this is one of my favorites, which is due to all the percussion instruments, the very catchy chorus and....Chaka Khan on back-up vocals!
Steve Winwood, Dire Straits, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Genesis, Boston, George Harrison, and ZZ Top all had wonderful success in the mid-80s. In addition to all of the new wave acts and proto-rap, these guys brought their magic back into the 80s and helped define the soundtrack of the decade.
It's Great seeing your reaction as "bring me a higher love" comes around the first time in the song. It's probably the way many of us first reacted to it too.
This was a number 1 hit for him. "Valerie" is one of my favorites. "Roll With It" was another jam, with no peanut butter haha.
There is some songs that instantly bring you the 80's vibe. This one is one of them 👌
Steve was ready to record the song when he found out Chaka Kahn was down the hall. He walked down and asked if she would do the backup vocals and she agreed. An hour later they recorded this treasure.
Steve on lead and Chaka on backup. Heaven!
One of the greatest exports of the UK music scene, genius
This one is one of the best 80s songs I've ever heard. Very upbeat, positive and feel good.
YAY!!!! ✨️🎀✨️🎀✨️🎀✨️🎀✨️
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Merry Christmas you guys!!
You too!!
@@AsiaandBJ 🎄✌️🪆✌️🧡💝
Winwood is a legend 🤘🤘
Great song!
If you haven't already, you should check out Gimme some loving by the Spencer Davis Group. That's Steve singing and playing keyboard when he was a teenager back in the 60s.
I thought y’all had already heard this. Aw I can’t WAIT to see your reaction!! This is amAZing!!
Simply a great song and with Chaka Khan on backing takes it to another level. Steve has an amazing voice. From London, UK
Asia and BJ give a listen to Traffic Low Spark Of High Heeled Boy Steve Winwood is the lead singer of the band great song you guy's will Love it thanks
Best song ever. Herbal refreshment optional.
It's an awesome song, but it's like 20 minutes long. That's a tough sell for a reaction channel. They'll take one look at the runtime and pass on it. Which is a shame, cuz it's great, but still...
They should watch the video, it's very well done 👍
This whole album, from the mid-80s, is fantastic. Unfortunately, the recording stopped before Chaka Khan's great solo vocal. If you watch the official video, you'll see her in it.
Such a feel good song on so many levels.
This very spiritual song makes a case for why higher love, which can be interpreted as God, must exist. The first line sets the stage:
Think about it, there must be higher love
One of the key arguments is found in the first verse:
Without it, life is a wasted time
Winwood played many of the instruments on Back In The High Life and wrote the music for the songs, but for this and many other songs on the album, Will Jennings wrote the lyrics.
"I was born in East Texas and my mother and father's families were from Arkansas and the generations before were from the Deep South. My father's father was a Methodist preacher, a circuit rider, in Arkansas. My earliest memories are of the music in church and of my aunts and uncles singing the beautiful old hymns. 'Higher Love' is a generation past that, when things were not so much taken for granted, so that one has to plea, 'Bring me a higher love,' and the lines are all trying to explain why there must be higher love. A modern hymn, you might call it."
This was Winwood's first US #1 single, either as a solo artist or with a group. He was 38 when it topped the chart on August 30, 1986, but he had already been making music for more than two decades. As a teenager, his crystalline voice and songwriting talents led the Spencer Davis Group to two hit singles in 1967: "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm A Man."

I thought so too, but sadly most people will not make the connection.
I remember when this came out in the 80's (my young years) and the first time hearing it, I fell in love with it; and you can't NOT move to it. Great lyrics, great music, great beat!
🤘🤘 perfect collaboration, get goosebumps everytime Chaka Khan comes in with braing me a higher love.
She sure did!!!
