[@briankay4229]

Steve Winwood was one of the best. I mean, who doesn't know THIS song?!

[@tonyaokins9138]

People that listen to stupid music ohh no Tonya did not just say that lol 🤪😜😝🤭

[@tonyaokins9138]

Yep and very easy on the Eyes I might Add 😁👍

[@pauljordan4452]

​@@tonyaokins9138 Some listen to dumb music. My aunt who passed away was called Valerie, and I remember her daughter singing this.

[@marcusmedlock847]

Don’t know what it is about this awesome song but it always fills me with nostalgia. Hoping she’ll call on me. I’m the same I haven’t changed. Long live the 80s 💪

[@ckyung1312]

Oh yeah!

[@JohnnyRichardson-d8t]

Same!

[@foreverealm]

There was a friend, a close friend, who I think was a singer as well. She got lost in drugs. Steve … was a true friend. He wrote this for her, to reach out. Remind her he was there for her. Remind her who she was. That is what I recall of when I had read up about it. I don’t know what happened to her, if she ended up ok or not. But this song is rich with nostalgia and it always brings me to a happy, carefree time in the 80’s. Steve Winwood is one in a million. He has a genuine warmth and I often feel the air alive with hope and encouragement in his songs. It seems rare and precious in times like these. Thank you, Steve Winwood. You’ll never know how many lives you have encouraged and boosted by your music and lyrics. God bless.

[@darrellmiddleton6615]

You should listen to the frank Zappa song too

[@mikeh.753]

Valarie Carter must have been quite a woman, because she touched Steve Winwood and Jackson Browne so much that they both wrote a song about her. Sadly she passed away at a young age

[@DarrenDavis-ey3du]

Yeeees ❤

[@markbaker4708]

As close to Rock without touching the baseline! A Haunting Chorus I "well" Like!

In this song, the probably synthesized saxophones were heard in this song.

[@whitetrashmillionare4858]

Didn't know that there were two versions, what is the difference?

[@ckyung1312]

Simply put, because I’m not any kind of musician - just a fan - I think the original version is much more toned down and perhaps not as pop radio friendly.

[@phonedude97]

87 version seems to have a richer sound, with more synthesizer

[@davidgutierrez6686]

Great song from a great band. But they could have tried a little harder to hide the playback
