Steve Winwood || Higher Love || Official Video || First Time Reaction

[@KelliViti]

You know you're badass. When Nile Rogers is on bass, & Chaka Khan is backing you up!

[@v.j.3029]

That's Chaka Khan. Check out her song, I Feel For You.😊

[@yvetteadshead4212]

I love Stevie Winwood, fantastic musician, love this song

[@dal9631]

The woman with big hair is Chaka Khan

[@aliciasaracino1233]

The music of the 80s put us all in a trance, talk about mood music, and the variety of good talent was amazing....

[@johnbernhardtsen3008]

I remember the show about great band throughout time, he mentions that it takes whole 47 seconds before Morten Harket even starts to sing in an A-Ha song!

[@buckeyeclayfan]

I never tire of this video. Steve has amazing vocals and talk about a sharp dressed man! And I am not paying much attention to the lady whose dress is falling off because I am fixated on Chaka swirling and twirling in that lace skirt. Thanks Hap!

1986 Grammy Song of the Year.

[@MarkoMakela-kk7qf]

One of the only 'white' 'black' male singers ever. When Steve recorded with Davis Spencer Group 'Gimme all your lovin', no one And his higher ps could have expected his to be a minor singing. That is crazy. And his highest parts werw out if range of usual male singer. Later on some heavy metal singers were on the same level but none before him. And usually they had this screaming almost female voice, not like this husky sound and high also...

[@ZillaMesh]

This song hits directly to your soul. No chance it misses it. MAGNIFICENT & GLORIOUS.

[@itzel1735]

He’s always been a phenom. He joined the Spencer Davis Group at 14, their first single dropped when he was just barely 16, and he co-wrote “Gimme Some Loving” at 18ish. Played organ for Jimi Hendrix. Was a part of the amazing group, Traffic. Joined Blind Faith with Eric Clapton and bassist Ric Grech and drum superstar Ginger Baker. And then did a lot of session work with everyone and had a Grammy winning solo career. I hear he’s the envy of some older rock singers since he’s kept his voice better than most.

[@pearlegates7079]

An amazing career, there is plenty more for Hap to explore. So many great songs.

[@barbarahamlin3284]

I had not realized his whole background story, thanks for sharing. Saw him and Clapton when they did a tour together. Both exceptional

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

Great reaction HAP. I believe this song came out in the mid 80s. Chaka Khan is the woman singing in this song and video .😀👍❤️✌️🌼

[@scotties.3414]

I sometimes start my day with this song. And it's at least 30 years old. We have the exquisite Nile Rodgers on rhythm section, the one and only Chaka Khan on backing vocals, and 1 of the best made videos that capture the spirit of the song that I can think of.I love your reactions. You make me 😃

[@ShadowBanned904]

The legendary Chaka Kahn on backup vocals and the legendary Nile Rodgers on guitar!

[@aprilebert157]

One of my favorite feel good songs of all time!!!! What a nice surprise.

[@mariabryant6582]

He had this voice when he was a teenager. He is great. This song was huge.

[@differencemaker242]

His dress was very fashionable/typical for the 80s.

[@bear4muscledfw]

Steve Winwood kept great company. Chaka Khan on this track and James Taylor sang background on Back in the High Life Again

[@ccgrey8731]

bear4muscledfw, Also Niles Rodgers is on this track and in the video.

[@scottdorsey8220]

Try Ain't Nobody by Chaka Khan! You'll love it, too!!!

[@mindyalderman8865]

been watching him in bands since he was a kid and I was a kid. master at the key board great unusual voice. Very soulful. Hes played with Eric Clapton. Had a very successful solo career as well. A life time of good music and experiance.

[@isotopia7681]

He’s got a great voice, and it’s a good song but also I think it’s one of those 80’s tracks where the production values were so good they just kind of endure. If you play this it jumps out of the speakers / iPods. I thought I’d completely forgot about it but it came back into my head. I guess I’ve finally accepted it into the classic archive

[@denikennedy6675]

LOVE, LOVE THAT SONG!! GREAT TO DANCE TO!!💃💃💃🕺🕺🕺🎶🎶🎶 FANTASTIC REACTION, HAP!💕💕

[@Lfg117]

🔥🔥🔥

[@gracek4309]

Haha I enjoyed ur reaction! Fantastic🧡

[@planetbetter]

There is a longer version. And a European version with a a different drum intro. I know b/c the remake of it (slow version) with his daughter, was my wedding song. Because I love SW, and b/c my wife likes to be high. We transitioned the song to the Chaka Khan part, to dance. And then transitioned into Prince.

[@jerrycote659]

Freaking love this song! Such a damn groove and can we talk about the scorching Miss Chaka Khan and the amazing vocal stamp she added. So, one thing about your comments, the song IS an 80s classic being released in 1986 and was a huge smash in the US where it hit #1 in both the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and also #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart as well. Your info regarding a 2012 release was probably referencing a remastered version of the original.

[@chamberlainwonder369]

Beautiful classic upload

[@planetbetter]

1986? Exquisite!

[@maryhuhnke8496]

Have to do "Roll With It" The Video version is Spectacular!! 🎧😎

[@chrisy8989]

It was definitely out in the 80's and Steve was the one of the keyboard players on the reaction you did to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Enjoyed it, Hap!

[@pearlegates7079]

Yes, after I saw that video, I thought that Hap needed to start listening to Steve.😃

[@Terri6868]

One thing leads to another. Haps connecting the dots.🤩

[@debra7105]

Yes! I used to play this song on my car stereo all the time. 🇬🇧 has brought the world so many great musicians.

[@dogstar75]

Steve Winwood sang in a band called Traffic, their song 'Hey, Mister Fantasy' (with Winwood on vocals) plays over the opening of Avengers: Endgame.

[@sumerfluffy]

Blast from the past! Haven't heard this in years! Splendid Reaction HAP! Great choice Pearle!

[@davidpost428]

Very good instant breakdown of the composition here that worked so very well - that's where your trance came from - it just carries one on through it, needing to get involved. High level artistry here from all concened, Steve Winwood, Chaka Khan, the man on guitar who prduced the song, and the drummer and congo players. Jumpin' song !

[@pearlegates7079]

Its an 80s song, 1986. Perhaps that video wasn't released to KZbin until 2012? And thank you, Hap! Now you'll have to hear him singing as a teen in the 60's!!!

[@kaychristensen4394]

You about to have gone hair blown all the way nack! 😎😅

[@paulobrien9572]

Steve Winwood so underrated , member of Traffic, Spencer Davis Group, huge solo career this song came out in 1986, member of R&R Hof 2004

[@malph9216]

Dear Mr Fantasy by Traffic. Steve Winwood was their lead singer and the track opened the film "Avengers Endgame".

[@JacobDrosdick]

Did it really? I didn't know that

[@negf22]

You put him with Clapton together --it’s magic. They played together in several bands.that was ‘80’s dress. His 60 and 70 clothes were totally different.

[@marymarin3277]

So happy u reacted to Steve Winwood!👍♥️ My favorite song of his is "Roll with It "..also a few others that are really good are Back in the High life, Finer Things and is more recent video is one he he sings alone with just an acoustic guitar by a crackling fire called "Can't find my way Home!! 😁

[@adinafarkas769]

I clicked on the video hoping this will be the song I knew from the title. Always loved it but never knew who the singer was 😅- one more thing- I also thought it was from the 80s 😅 Well, we learn something each day 🤣

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Yes it's always an experience! Thanks Adina.

[@adam.4487]

Oh he got the girl that kept loosing her dress. LOL

[@chamberlainwonder369]

[@joymaxs2874]

[@leisastalnaker3790]

Very 80’s

[@geoffreynewby3270]

Whitney Houston covered it as did kygo

[@Dino-su2wh]

Chaka Khan wants to be Queen Tina Turner and she never will be

[@JeffmChicago]

Chaka's Every Woman. That includes Tina.
