HOLY COW!| FIRST TIME HERING Steve Winwood - Valerie REACTION

[@christophermollan1684]

Every band he was in , every time he sang a song every time he played an instrument it was a hit...The man is a musical genius.. legendary!!!!!

[@johnv61]

When was the last great blues song you heard? “Tobacco Road” by Edgar and his brother Johnny. Johnny is one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time, I know Jay will love him! Edgar’s instrumentals and vocals are jaw unbelievable! Every other reactor I see doing their live version is left speechless, so will y’all

[@ninjavigilante5311]

My favorite was blind Faith with Eric, ginger and rick... even though only made one album.

[@giselamesquita5124]

Yep! Just like that 👍😉

[@robertacheson5976]

He played keyboards on Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland. Unreal

[@beachbumsailordude]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! He's one of the most underappreciated and also the most successful as far as all the different bands he was in with hits.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, You'll love his "Roll With It", "The Finer Things", "While You See A Chance" and many more. Great voice, keys and guitar from this man!!! Before going solo he was in The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic and Blind Faith!

Thanks for being honest, guys. I love this song! “Higher Love” is a tough act to follow. “Roll With It” next for sure! 😊❤️

[@btgiv6009]

Two more great ones are "Freedom Overspill" and "Back in the High Life"

[@vbellagrl]

Yep. I actually emailed Jay & Amber recently to request Steve Winwood - but I suggested that they start with Roll with It. Valerie was a hit but I don't care for it as much.

[@bloodysushi]

Ya'll should totally check out his later reissue of this song from 1987, punches up the bass and feel of it. Makes it more 80's feeling and is probably the definitive version.

I wished they’d started with that one.

[@lla788]

This song was written about the great singer Valerie Carter. She sang back up and recorded for a number of artists including James Taylor. I see James Taylor every time he performs in my general area (which is almost every year) Valerie was almost always there singing back up. Then one year, Valerie was not at the show. And I don't remember her ever being back again. It turns out that Valerie had a problem with addiction. There was a video of Valerie getting released from her obligation to the court for some sort of drug issue - or something like that. James Taylor came to the hearing and sang You've Got a Friend to Valerie in the courtroom. I'll never forget it. RIP beautiful Valerie

[@edyarb]

Steve Winwood also sang with a group called traffic, one of my favorite songs is LOW SPARK OF HIGH HEELED BOYS

[@Shrykespeare]

Technically, you've done him twice before this... you did "Higher Love", but you also did "Can't Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith, of which he was a member. He was also in The Spencer Davis Group, and Traffic. Some of Steve's other great solo hits include "Roll With It", "Back in the High LIfe Again", and "The Finer Things". My personal favorite of his (after "Valerie") is "Freedom Overspill". It's a very underrated song, but a true banger! Also - I think this is the 1982 original version of the song. A remix was done in 1987, and THAT version hit the Billboard Top 10. It had more drums, and several other instruments as well. It was richer, fuller, and I think you'd love that version more than this one.

[@you2449]

"Back in the High Life," and "The Finer Things" truly go together. As a pair, almost can't describe how powerful, moving, Real & Inspiring they are.

[@cog4life]

ROLL WITH IT! You should do that one! 🔥Valerie is good but you have to hear Roll with it. More like Higher Love

[@popculturista]

What people forget or didn't know is that Winwood was playing keyboards on stage when Prince stole the show with his solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

[@Rufus6540]

My favorite Steve Winwood song by far, thanks for reacting to it! Lyrics here are awesome: Now she can't be that warm With the wind in her arms and So cool, she was just like Jazz on a summer's day Music, high and sweet Then she just flew away Good stuff!

[@doplinger1]

The Steve Winwood you would REALLY like is "Roll With It"! So much different than his other 80s mainstream hits.

[@davidbagno]

Yep, Roll with it will make you get up and dance

[@markhuebner9224]

Took the words right out of my mouth! Got to hear Roll with it! Probably in the top 5 of his best ever........maybe THE BEST song of his ever. Winwood is a musical genius. A great song writer. Very underappreciated in the world of Rock n' Roll. He's been rockin" since the 60's

[@vbellagrl]

Yep, I suggested that one to them as well.

[@francisseidel8014]

I always think of the Weird Al spoof when I hear Roll With It. Makes me hungry for a baked potato with it. 😉

[@popculturista]

"Roll With It" is Winwood connecting to the music he loved when he was younger. To go from a 60s musician to a solo artist having hits in the 80s is pretty astounding in its difficulty. Other 80s artists could not have done "roll with it." Winwood could because that music is in his back pocket and he can easily execute it because he's not just a singer but a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter.

[@waynegillham6894]

My favourite song and version by Steve Winwood. No worries. I appreciate your honesty. Not everyone reacts the same to every song. Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing you both each and every day!

[@williammcgrath9466]

“Gimmie Gimmie some lovin” by the Spencer Davis group is a classic with Winwood on vocals.

[@popculturista]

It's a rock n roll classic. You probably have heard it. If not, you should because its a true, true 60s rock classic. And Winwood was a teenager in that band when he wrote, played and sang that song.

[@wesleyworley8982]

This is my favorite Steve Winwood song. Brings back so many memories.

I listened to him back in high school in the early 70’s but I think I read about it in an article regarding his production of the album Arc of the Diver in the early 80’s, and if I remember correctly, he played every instrument on all the songs (there may be an exception, but it’s been a long time) but it discussed his beginnings when he was a teenager. There is probably something about it on the internet?

[@ChrisSmith-jj3es]

Hey guys- love this song by Steve Winwood, however he did this song twice. The reaction you guys did is from 1982. He re-did the song in 1987 and it has everything you guys said it was missing for you. Not likely you’ll do a reaction to the same song, but do yourselves a favor… take a moment out of your busy day and listen to the 87 version. I think your opinion will change. Love you guys!

Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton were briefly in a band together called Blind Faith in the late 60s. In 2008 they came together for a concert at Madison Sq Garden where they played both of their songs for over 2 hrs. I recently came across this gem of a concert on an app I found on my Firestick called Qello Concerts. You can sign up for a 1 week free trial. Check it out! Fleetwood Mac The Dance is also so so good.

[@jordanslack3016]

Guys! Y'all need to react to Loreena Mckennitt mummers dance. Swear you have heard nothing like this Ever! It's Celtic singer with an amazing voice and the melody of the song will transport you to another realm in time. It's definitely out there but the few people who have heard of this artist and song will tell you it's a hidden gem. There are some reaction videos already out there on it so although it's such a different genre people know of it. Would love to see you react to it.

[@InvestBetter.]

You need to get the 1987 version, which went to #6 in the nation. Story has it that a DJ remixed it on his own. Knew this could be better It got back to Winwood, and he re-released the remixed single. This is a rough draft of what this song was supposed to be.

[@mocha4paws]

It does grow on you if you listen to it more---It flows and is easy to listen to. No distractions. The chorus does carry the song for sure.

[@joemc1960]

Love this song. Check out Arc of a Diver. Beautiful song.

[@woodch]

It's so funny you point out that the song needs a little "more" to it... He re-released it years later with a little more 80's production and additional instruments which is the one that I remember more. This one specifically reminds me of the time I had chicken pox and this version was on the radio a lot. The 80's one came out later, and I remember thinking "Oh, this is different!"

[@cog4life]

This is the original version of "Valerie". Check out the 1988 re-recording of his collection called "Chronicles." Has more punch like "°Feeedom Overspill". Also, check out "°The Finer Things" and "Back In The High Life" w/backing vocals by James Taylor.

Please please please watch Roll With It. It is definitely more what you two would like. Definitely more instruments in this song. Such a great song. It is probably my number 1 favorite of his.

[@dawnpatrol700]

This is the original 82 mix. It was a bigger hit in 87, when they remixed it for his then-new greatest hits. This one's a little under-produced, while the 87 remix is over-produced. Pretty much all 1987 music was over-produced though lol

[@kitcatsaunders]

Steve. Winwood is a legend , what an amazing song thanks is for the great reaction.

Hey Guys! a lot of likes on Chris Smith's comment and I totally agree it was like night and day when I heard it. The 1987 re-do like brought the song to life, the predominant drums, the quality of sound, and a more romantic fire! Hope we get THAT reaction 💗

[@malkamusik]

Listen to 'While You See A Chance'. It's kind of a bop.

He’s one of my favorite artists. So talented playing organ, piano, guitar and his musical history is outstanding. I believe he is very underrated and love all his music from Spencer Davis, Traffic and Blind Faith.

[@JoseMorales-nb6nn]

Steve re-did it again and The 1987 version was more retro with an awesome beat sound since they added drums in this version of the 80's... The music video was more brighter with sweet colors of the background to look like a drawing come to life and it was so cool... Check it out and see which one sounded better...

Steve is an underrated guitarist, pianist, songwriter & singer. So multi talanted. I like his newer solo tunes but Spencer Davis Group "Gimme some lovin" , Blind Faith (with Eric Clapton) "can't find my way home" "presence of the Lord" my fav, & many other great tunes. Then came Traffic, They were awesome. My fav is "Low spark of high heeled boys" & "dear mr fantasy". You both bring joy, thank you! 😄

[@mikehigbee2320]

You want to try "Hearts on Fire" to get the sound you're looking for. Hard drums, funky slapping bass, horns, makes you want to get up and move.

[@MaggieValera]

His voice is stunning and he's been singing in famous groups since he was 14 years old! He started as Stevie Windwood with the Spencer Davis Group, but he's been with Traffic, Blind Faith, and when Cream split he was in a band with Eric Clapton and another with Ginger Baker! He plays a ton of instruments and is a songwriter as well. His Arc of the Diver album came out around when I started high school, and the song While You See A Chance blew me away. He's an amazing talent. Once again, you raided my record collection and knocked it out of the park! Love you guys! {{{hugs}}}

[@jorgejaime4325]

He played keyboards in Jimi Hendrix's record, Electric ladyland

[@keithroberts4952]

[@insta9620]

On a tangent, he was brilliant when he was much younger in a band called TRAFFIC. My favorite song by them was called Dear Mr. Fantasy. Groovy 70s band

[@lynnlafever1810]

Chaka Chan was the back-up singer! His first band was Spencer Davis Group: “Gimmie some lovin” is a strong R&B. Also "I'm a Man" is strong on keyboards and has a Steppenwolf vib.

[@AeroRanger100]

Eric Prydz brought this song back by heavily sampling it in his song "Call on Me." Winwood was so impressed with Eric's work, he re-recorded the chorus line to fit the song better.

This was intended to be a big radio hit in the 80's. It's not a bad thing that it doesn't connect to you 40 years later because it followed a formula. It's a good thing that you want more from a song than a formula! He fronted a band, Traffic, in the 60's when he was only 18 or 19. They're more of a vibe...some good songs...can start with " Dear Mr Fantasy"

[@VidiotSavante]

I think you guys will love hearing "Dear Mr. Fantasy" from the 1967 debut album of Steve Winwood's band Traffic! Excellent head music with a cool vibe! 😎 You recently reacted to "Can't Find My Way Home" by another of Steve's great former bands, Blind Faith. Another great track you should hit is "Gimme Some Lovin'" by The Spencer Davis Group (yet another of Steve's successful former bands).

[@paulf2557]

From four years before "Higher Love", this is probably Steve's greatest period with the "Talking Back To The Night" and "Arc Of A Diver" albums. Sounds they wouldn't be rocky enough for you two - but they were still brilliant. Just a magical singer and songwriter.

It always makes me happy to see you come back to one of my musical heroes in Steve Winwood. This is from his third solo album, 1982's Talking Back to the Night. You mention him playing the keyboards - on this album, he played EVERYTHING, something he has done many times in his career. If you listen to the 1987 remix he did of the song, you'll find the tweaked drums, guitar and bass you feel is missing, but his golden voice is always there.

Wow, too bad You didn’t hear what I heard the first time I heard this song. That crying out in passion for his Valerie is what made this song one of my favs. I didn’t know the backstory until recently when Valerie Carter passed away during the COVID lockdowns. Valerie was an amazing back up singer during the 70’ & 80’s & was highly sought after by the most popular & talented musicians of the day. You can see her & her beauty in James Taylor’s ‘Live at the Beacon Theater’ concert. She’s the cute blonde in the short black dress with the infectious smile. Her life was a little tortured & she had her struggles as many do in that business & people like James Taylor were there to help her out of it. Valerie had such an impact on singer songwriters that in the business she was called on a lot & 2 major artist’s wrote & sang a song about her. One of course was ‘Valerie’ by Steve Winwood who was taken by her beauty & talent but then like the wind she was gone out of his life as he cries out ‘call on me, Valerie, come and see….me. I’m the same boy I used to be.’ The other artist who wrote & sang about Valerie was Jackson Browne who wrote the hit ‘That Girl could Sing’ in 1980. Rest In Peace & may God richly gracefully love Valerie Carter.

Steve Windwood - Roll With It / Back In The High Life Again

[@Jessica_Roth]

Well, you've only done Steve as a SOLOIST once…you have done him in Blind Faith. You still need to do Steve with the Spencer Davis Group, and with Traffic (both the original version with Dave Mason, and the reunited group, after Blind Faith). *DO TRAFFIC! DO TRAFFIC!! DO TRAFFIC ALREADY!!!* Just so I can shut up about it. Steve's chronology goes like this: Spencer Davis Group, then Traffic (with Mason), then Blind Faith, then the reunited Traffic, then solo. Suggestions: For the Spencer Davis Group: "Give Me Some Lovin'" For Traffic v.1 : "Feelin' Alright", "Dear Mr. Fantasy" For Blind Faith: "Presence of the Lord", "Well Alright" (Buddy Holly cover) For Traffic v. 2: "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys", "Freedom Rider", "Rock & Roll Stew" For Steve solo: "Back in the High Life Again". (also Warren Zevon does an amazing cover of this), "When You See A Chance" And many more. Also, as I've mentioned the difference between Traffic with Dave Mason and without, I should note that Dave's solo work ("We Just Disagree", "Only You Know and I know") deserves a listen, too. Let's see, I should probably make an alphabetical list of artists you need to hit: A- Argent B- Blackfoot, perhaps (a lot of candidates here) C- Cracker F- Free K- King Crimson L- Little Feat M- The Michael Stanley Band N- Nazz (and Todd Rundgren in general, including Utopia and his solo work) S- Spirit T- Traffic U- Uriah Heep V- Violent Femmes X- X Don't know if I'll get to all 26, but I'll work on it. (And yes, I could have put Dave Mason as "D", but IMO that's cheating.) (And yes, I could have done the Sex Pistols at S, but let's be real…these folks aint doing the Sex Pistols. LMAO.)

His song "While You See A Chance" has great keyboard sequence.

Again, a Peter Gabriel reference. You guys really must do his duet ‘Don’t Give Up’ with Kate Bush. Trust me, you will BOTH like it.

[@michaelburggraf2822]

Oh yes!!!!!!! Regarding both, Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, I highly recommend that too.

Winwood is an incredible artist. This song is one of his weakest hits, not that it isn't good. I'd suggest: Talking Back to the Night, Arc of a Diver, the awesome Roll With It, The Finer Things, and my favorite Spanish Dancer. Now.... as far as his work with Traffic: The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys is iconic, Glad/Freedom Rider, Empty Pages, 40,000 Headmen, Feelin' Alright, Shootout at the Fantasy Factory and the atmospheric Evening Blue. Please don't miss Winwood's work with Traffic, it's exquisite.
