Love that Chaka Khan is singing with Steve ❤️✌️

[@kathyscott9219]

YES!! I agree. She spices up the song from solidly good to GREAT. Such a smile to the listener. Love it.

[@jimmoore8951]

As if this song wasn’t already good enough, Chaka joins the party and takes it to another level

[@CarlosHernandez-kd2vb]

Asia is one fine looking lady, rock on!

[@steveferridge7215]

Beautiful

[@raeann63]

masterpiece by steve winwood with backing vocals by chaka khan and guitar and produced by nile rodgers from chic. just BRILLIANT ❤

[@xerxescroes2281]

Niles Rodgers equals absolute American Genius. Responsible for such great, creative music.

[@scottfeuerhammer3595]

Absolutely, Nile Rodgers on guitar. 3 legendary musicians here.

[@peterrock4733]

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

[@aquavelva4927]

Michael Bolton?!? Quite the insult to Steve Winwood

[@bobbyparker3215]

Peter Frampton is who he sounds like

[@jamielandis4308]

Nothing like a little Stevie Winwood! This whole album was huge when it came out. Memories!

[@victoriajohnson5461]

I was lucky enough to have it!

[@DW-vd9mp]

Yep 12th grade for me. Wore this album out!

[@aranette]

Hearing Chaka Khan in the supporting vocals.....gives me chills every time!

Stevie Winwood started at 16 yrs old. Incredible musical history with many connections with other musicians.

[@lizetteolsen3218]

When he was Stevie . . .Too young to play in the bars, too

[@Justyna_N]

He was 14 when he started with The Spencer Davis Group

[@francesthompson593]

Yes he was 14 playing behind curtains in a Pub Bar because he was to young to be in the Bar.

[@leslie8743]

@@Justyna_N even younger than I thought. So cool he had the confidence at a young age.

[@surlechapeau]

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!

[@johntremmel3949]

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👊

[@stefanandersson2402]

... and don´t forget "Back in th high life"

[@Allencartercomix]

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.

[@francesthompson593]

Steve Winwood is so talented and has been producing music since 1964. A great Singer/ Songwriter Guitarist Keyboard player .

[@user-wy1ev4yq5d]

And he still has his voice. Most old geezer rock stars can't sing anymore, but Steve still has the gift.

[@sharonsnail2954]

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?

[@janetf23]

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😉

[@mrnobody9104]

So far removed from Blind Faith or Traffic but the guy was so talented he could do anything. Still doing it too!

[@ilovethe80slovesongs21]

Great choice! You should do more of his songs, including when he was in the Spencer Davis Group.

[@philipmccarthy6175]

Steve Winwood has more talent in his little finger than Michael Bolton . I'll overlook this faux pas this time ! LOL

[@emilybazeddi1914]

I love this. There is a live performance of Steve and Chaka Khan singing this and I love it. She is so beautiful.

[@ericsmith6615]

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!!...❣

[@dougpotosky4102]

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

No video???? You missed one of the best parts. Chaka Kahn dancing!! Here’s the link! ENJOY! ❤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWrSnZR_ntRmopo

[@rubroken]

I'm curious, what Steve Winwood song did you listen to that you didn't like?.......this is rhetorical......no answer required

[@shanenolan5625]

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 .

[@normansawatzky4778]

This guy had collaborated with a lot of stars from Jimi Hendrix all the way to Christina Aguilera!

[@kingscairn]

Steve's a very pious man - has been going all the way back through Blind Faith

[@johnlillis1161]

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

[@danmayberry1185]

Best song ever. Herbal refreshment optional.

[@jasonremy1627]

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...

[@mksch7642]

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

[@timbevers7635]

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 !!

[@glamdring0007]

You guys are batting a 1000 today ! Boston and Steve Winwood...I'm lovin it !

[@sisterdebmac]

You know what's a blast as far as Steve's songs go? Roll With It. So funky. The video is cool AF.

[@scapito]

They reacted to it a few weeks ago. Check it out. 💜

[@joelliebler5690]

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.

[@waltw4537]

Nobody like Stevie Winwood! Love this one! Such a great vibe. Shaka Khan! Thanks!

[@randytorres8211]

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." (Songfacts.com)

[@normansawatzky4778]

I thought so too, but sadly most people will not make the connection.

[@mattcurless1556]

Can't go wrong with Steve Winwood. You should check out a song called Dear Mr Fantasy by a band he was in called Traffic.

[@CRTRRTinGA]

Mr. Fantasy is a great choice.

[@randallholliday7214]

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.

[@davidavi8554]

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.

[@shaharadegan9993]

One of my favorites! Just love Chaka Khan in the ending part.

[@fletchbundy]

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.

[@geoffsullivan7902]

Backing vocals….Chaka Khan 👍❤️🎼❤️

[@jackh1672]

Song is ok, but ya can't replace the time Stevie was a kid with a band called Traffic Plenty of hits in the 60s-70s, before he went pop. Welcome to the Canteen (1971) Live Talk about jamming, and the voice..

[@tradeladder146]

Steve Winwood is British and has been around since the 70s he is a Legend. 👍

[@scapito]

His first song was released in the mid 60s. 5 decades of entertaining

[@jayeginn5963]

I remember this was a massive hit in the summer of 1986. We drove from Boston to Cape Cod and we LOVED the song so much that each time the song ended on one station, we'd turn the dial and sure enough another station would just start the song. It seriously was the only song we sang on our drive over, LOL. Steve Winwood sounded so great with Chaka Khan. Steve Winwood is so much better than Michael Bolton. Bolton just screams.

[@88pjtink]

The same voice that you hear in one of the greatest rock songs of its era, "Can't find my way home".

[@Victoria-kv9oz]

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…

[@AsiaandBJ]

No worries!

[@pollynicklas5220]

Valerie is also good!

[@jerilynbowler6321]

This was my song with my husband when we were dating and then engaged. Great song, wonderful memories! ❤️

[@dougpotosky4102]

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!

[@raymondreid4987]

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.

[@randybaker6042]

Just do yourself a favor and listen to Maybe Your Baby off of Rufus's first album with 19 year old Chaka Khan singing.

[@ErikJan4242]

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)

[@nycartist3421]

Produced by Nile Rodgers! His funky fingerprints are ALL OVER this!

[@dr4782]

"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.

[@Ritaholden1]

I love Chaka Khan. And Steve Windwood is amazing. Such a great duo.

[@alecgough5179]

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.

[@johntremmel3949]

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

[@barndude5562]

[@RockDocNeal]

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!

[@laneykehel5057]

The official video has Chaka Khan singing with him.

[@kyraspikes7542]

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.

[@Historian212]

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.

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Steve Winwood and Will Jennings. 4 years later, WJ wrote Tears in Heaven with Eric Clapton. All stars. Chaka Khan on backing vocals.. Nile Rodgers on rhythm guitar 🎸. Eddie Martinez on lead guitar 🎸. He played lead guitar in Simply Irresistible , written by and sung by the late Robert Palmer, RIP 😢 Suggested next song 🎵 Steve Winwood sings Back in the High Life Again.

[@earlfowler7873]

Always enjoy your reactions,, WHO DAT!!! BJ sporting Saints gear👍

You should definitely definitely do ‘Keep on Running’ by Steve Winwood (It’s immense!). Also Whitney Houston has done an incredible version of Higher Love. Love you guys Asia and BJ 😊 you’re great 👍

[@looneygardener]

Check Stevie Winwood at 15. It's insane.

[@classiclife7204]

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.

[@jasonremy1627]

When Steve Winwood was younger, he was often compared to Ray Charles, especially on stuff he did with the Spencer Davis Group like "I'm A Man" and "Gimme Some Lovin'"

Steve Winwood has nice clean sound and a great selection of instruments 🎸🎷 in the fills

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

One of my favourite movies that this song is in is called Big Business - with Better Midler and Lily Tomlin. It's a little dated - mid 80's - but SO much fun. Bette and Lily give a fantastic performance as a set of identical twins - with tons of hijinks throughout. Would LOVE for you to do this on your movie channel. I think you'd both love it.

[@scapito]

Winwood's vocals are often compared to Ray Charles, who had a big influence on him in his formative years.
