SOOO GOOD!!! | STEVE WINWOOD - "Valerie" | REACTION & ANALYSIS

[@avanoosterhout8397]

Eric Prydz used quite a large sample of this song for something he had written. When he took the song to Winwood for approval, Steve was impressed by the technical side of Prydz's production. Although from a musical point of view Steve admitted "it was not exactly his cup of tea", he offered to re-record the vocal part of the sample for Prydz. Which gave the song some more gravitas.

[@richardcarpenter24]

Another great one by Steve Winwood is "Know what the night can do"

[@DizJakeOG]

My favorite Steve song!

[@romero329]

2:12 I wish more people would react to this song just to see that moment of realization!

[@natedaug1]

Great song.

[@martinrj3606]

Fabulosos '80

[@MrBrettley]

They released an updated production of this song in the late 80s (not the sampled Eric Prydz track). Sounds a lot better.

[@downhomesunset]

They redo was so much better. The snare track was so much stronger and the synth is too strong in the original; actually gets in the way of the vocals!

[@astrofabio68]

why you don´t more suscriptors!!!??? you are great making reactions!

[@goodowner5000]

Lovin' your Channel Arc Vision Reactions ❤! New subscriber here & glad to share your stuff 👏👍.

[@brendaotoole4012]

Oh you don’t know Steve til you listen to his early stuff. ‘ cant find my way home’ when he was with Blind Faith is one of my all time favorites. His voice will blow you away! Perfect song!!!!🙂❤️

[@eleniprovia7667]

Love Steve Winwood!!! Thank you for reacting to his songs. He has a very distinct voice, and his “Back in the high life” album is one of my all time faves. I hope Lola is doing better and not barking as much now 🐶🐶🐶

[@LadyHeathen82]

Back in the high life is awesome.

[@cliffordlowerre1381]

So talented! Plays numerous instruments and sings wonderfully. Produces and writes great music. Was only 15 when with Spencer Davis Group.

[@conniep8616]

One of my favorites. It was years before I noticed there weren't any background/harmony vocals. He's so incredible you don't even miss them!!! Also, check out 'Don't You Know What the Night Can Do"

[@vorbis4860]

Love this song, and love that people always recognize the chorus from the Eric Prydz sample. You should check out Winwood's video for "Help Me, Angel" just to get an idea of how many instruments the dude actually plays.

[@antonliverpool1]

Call on me by Eric Prydz

[@Wungolioth]

Steve Winwood has a wide and varied career in music, starting at the age of 15 with The Spencer Davis Group, he sings lead on their biggest hit, "Gimme Some Lovin'". You should also check out his other band Traffic, his singing and keyboard skills are highlighted with a rock/jazz fusion, great songs to check out are, "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys","Empty Pages","Walking in the Wind","Rock n' Roll Stew","Dream Gerard", and "Dear Mr Fantasy".

[@ninjavigilante5311]

Also the one great legendary album blind faith with Eric Clapton, ginger baker, and rick on bass

[@goldenstate66]

This song always brings back the best memories and times. This is not disco.

[@PerryCJamesUK]

Eric Pr.. something... had a huge smash with the chorus and a saucy video of ladies exercising in front of a mirror. Call On Me I think was the name.

[@japanviewer]

It was Eric Prydz.

[@PerryCJamesUK]

@@japanviewer that's the one I think around the mid 2000s right?

[@japanviewer]

@@PerryCJamesUK Call On Me came out in 2004, so that's about right.

[@BethHutter]

So many great Steve Winwood songs. Try Talking Back to the Night, Arc of a Diver, and Spy in the House of Love!

[@NoCanDu]

While You See A Chance was a huge hit and excellent song!

[@tellystalkinchalk]

Loved this reaction!

[@jbr600]

💯🔥 Haven't heard this in forever it will be in my head all day✨️🎇

[@ManuelSanchez-mv6cs]

Greetings from Uruguay, South America. I congratulate you for reacting to the music that marked my youth and I follow you every day. I feel like part of my family. Greetings.

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

Such a nice song. I believe it came out in 1982. Seen him in concert, once. Very Good. 🙂

[@PerryCJamesUK]

I think I actually prefer the 1987 version, I don't know if he remixed it or re-recorded it but it has a fuller sound.

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

@@PerryCJamesUK OMG! I forgot about that one!!! 👍

[@chilloutvibesforyou]

What about the magical sounds of the Prophet-5 synth hey!!!!

[@jjhendo]

Your reaction at the chorus, lol. I’d heard the song over the radio at a restaurant for the first time in years but couldn’t place it. I then jumped on KZbin and went through 80s playlists until I came across on of Steve’s songs and recognized the voice. Sure enough. I had to know!! 😆

[@vinto34]

Great tune...brings the mood back up.

[@clintcornett79]

Love the other version more. this came out in 1982 the remix or re-release come out in 1987

[@lauraallen55]

You've heard this and Higher Love, and that's it, I think. His three biggest songs before Arc of a Diver (solo) were those two and Roll With It. My fav of the three is Roll With It. Higher Love is pretty much straight rock sounding, Valerie is more a pop type song, and Roll With It is more funky, and totally catchy like these. You would love it. Steve Winwood started his career in the 60s with Spencer Davis Group singing several hits by them - at 15 -16 years old! 😳 He then had hits with Clapton in Blind Fait, and more with Traffic and a couple other bands. He's truly phenomenal.

[@samuelrossmesa1430]

Love Steve Winwood, this is a fave. There is another version of this that I like. Another fun tune from Steve is "Roll With It".

[@christinadiane4257]

steve wynwood & michael hutchence kept me alive as a child🤘

Cuando aún la música era puro sentimiento...desde todos los aspectos...

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

I only knew Steve Winwoods version so imagine my delight when I hit the clubs at 18 and heard Eric Prydz version!

[@LadyHeathen82]

My favorite SW ! Yes!

Try the 87 version,much fuller.

[@valeriepouliot6472]

Wow I don't know how many times I have heard this song and had no idea the title was my name lol! 😁 #themoreyouknow

[@rouguy1972]

Love this song

[@briancunningham594]

When that chorus kicks in and it doesn't make you smile, you've got issues.

[@wickamo]

There's a meme sample that is used in alot of TikToks and Instagram posts.

[@j.a.osorio2005]

Eric Prydz made one of the greatest dance tracks with this song.

[@ilovemusicmovies1789]

He and Sheila E did a tribute to Carlos Santana for the Kennedy Center Honors. He's amazing on the organ!

[@neonpark1874]

He also shreds on guitar and bass at times. His writing, singing, and production skills are stellar too.

[@anthonyjames4648]

👍

[@crazy9932]

You like music you might of heard b4, chances are you heard of one more time, by Michael Bolton. Best performance was in the 1989 movie sing.

[@antonliverpool1]

I actually love Whitney Houston’s version of Higher Love. It’s a bit hard to track down as it was re-mixed recently

[@PerryCJamesUK]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIOXapevpJKsZqc the official video, Whitney is included as a "featured" vocalist rather than a solo effort that might be why it's harder to trace it

[@antonliverpool1]

@@PerryCJamesUK Thanks Perry. I was referring to this one from 1991 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6HXipV8d9-ibrc

[@Schudulaba]

This one always sounded quite muted after the 1987 remaster came out.

[@jerickson725]

Another great one Anton, but I can tell you one thing -- this is NOT disco 😅.

[@ZillaMesh]

Bosom Buddies theme song? Tell me they don't sound similar.
