That was the legendary Chaka Khan with him. She is a treasure.

[@mamaasaiz]

Yes she is! When she is 'on', she is tremendous.

[@Jahani31]

I came to say this

[@SG-js2qn]

My favorite song featuring Chaka Khan is "Tell Me Something Good" with Rufus. Of course it's a song written by Stevie Wonder, so that's a plus.

[@mythicsin3083]

👍🏻💯

[@itsmedino]

@@SG-js2qn maybe that will be the Female Friday song reaction, fingers crossed

[@karenf1225]

Chaka Khan! She's the backing vocalist! Try "Ain't Nobody" or "I Feel for You" on Female Friday!

[@Kimberrann]

And Tell Me Something Good

[@fredhonest339]

Hello Karen..

[@tombeyerlein3813]

Tell Me Something Good by Rufus is another great one by Chaka Khan!

[@scottNNJ]

Ain’t Nobody able to meet the magic of Chaka Khan’s voice… that’s her best one by far.

The entire Higher Love album was a masterpiece.

[@barblibrarian]

This was the high point of MTV, and this was well played. Winwood is definitely an icon. People were always surprised by his voice. Very soulful.

[@bigmike2464]

[@berniewilson371]

Night Train

[@robingadomski1818]

"Valerie" is my favorite Steve Winwood song!

[@shirleydurr411]

The woman backing up Steve is Chaka Khan. Take the dive into her early work from the 1970's like "Tell Me Something Good" (with Rufus) and "I'm Every Woman" Yeah, she did it before Whitney; it was her first solo hit without Rufus. Then her 1980's songs like "I Feel for You" and "Ain't Nobody" (also with Rufus). "I Feel for You" may help you understand why people sing her name. "Chaka Khan Chaka Khan" I think it might be only on the official music video and that's the one you should listen to. It's a cover of a Prince song but that "Chaka Khan" opening is why I think of it as her song.

[@fredhonest339]

Hello Shirley..

[@rebellibrarian]

Ooo! "I Feel For You" would be a great place to go from here.

[@KathySandru]

Rufus “Once You Get Started” and “Dance Wit Me”- Lawd Chaka put it DOWN

[@jeffmalone5557]

Don't forget "This is My Night" and "Through the Fire". Her last album had a track called "Hello Happiness" that was great.

[@timmacsweet1]

If you’re going to listen to Chaka Kan with Rufus check out the live version of “Tell me something Good”.

[@tradeladder146]

Steve Winwood A British Treasure. 👍

This song was HUGE.

You can’t go wrong with ANY Steve Winwood.His soulful voice is so smooth.He started with the Spencer Davis Group and then Traffic back in the 60s.Listen to Time is Running Out next.

[@mojo0307]

He was also in Blind Faith with Clapton and Ginger Baker.

[@mlhesler68]

You forgot Blind Faith

[@MichaelTScott-wb4di]

"I'm a Man," with Spencer Davis, for sure!

[@motodork]

And he was, I believe, 15 or 16 years old when he was with Spencer Davis Group. Winwood was a prodigy.

[@alanlittle9352]

"Gimme some Lovin' " with Spencer Davis Group

[@garymcmurdie6058]

Not only a brilliant singer and musician, he is one of the greatest songwriters. There is a great live version of "can't find my way home" where he is just sitting in front of the fire on his farm. That's as pure as it gets!

[@umpdaddy1]

That's a beautiful redition of a beautiful song and shows just how talented he truely is.

[@catz4m8z]

Yes! I love that version. Just him as an old man, his guitar and a crackling fire in the background. Beautiful song...goosebumps everytime.

[@RuthKing-wm9nw]

Winwood is in a class all his own.

[@robinalecia7554]

Steve won the the 1987 Grammy with this song of the year Yes .I think he took 2 home that night

[@JWCFB]

Steve is a very humble dude who still sings in his church choir every Sunday when he is not on the road.

[@jesperry6314]

Steve Winwood is a legend - he started playing/performing when he was only 14. You must take a deep dive into his group Traffic (John Barlycorn, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys) and many of his other hits including a song called Valerie (not the Amy Winehouse song), When You See A chance, The Finer Things, and from the Spencer Davis Group Gimme some Lovin. Super, super talented - so glad you've discovered him! And Chaka Kahn is a legend!! Definitely do her on Female Friday.

[@mizzwinter28]

Arc Of A Diver ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jeffmcclure4047]

Can't Find My Way Home is his best voice IMO

[@mrebello77]

Can't Find My way Home is one of my favorites of his. Great acoustic version -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6C2n2WPYsdpras

[@charlenecross28]

I was gonna say the same " low spark of high heel boys" is AMAZING

[@fryem720]

1 million thumbs up

[@delisamarchetti5926]

Chaka Khan is amazing! My favorite is "I Feel For You". Also you can't miss "I;m Every Woman" or "Aint Nobody" She is a powerhouse of personality and pure natural talent. You maybe see one or two like her in a generation.

[@marjolewis9405]

Steve Winwood has been a professional musician since he joined The Spencer Davis Group at age 15. Afterwards he joined the band Traffic, the song Low Spark High Heeled Boys is so fantastic and whole vibe in itself. My personal favorite by Steve is Arc of the Diver. It's a must listen.

[@mizzwinter28]

I just suggested that same song on someone else's comment. 🤜🤛 Arc of a Diver is magical. ❤️

[@emichels]

My favorite is 'Dear Mr Fantasy' -- the live version where he's wearing a peach shirt. Check it out.

[@coyotelong4349]

The way Steve Winwood evolved over the course of his musical career, from the Beatles-esque SDG days to the psychadelic Traffic era to his R&B, blue-eyed soul solo career is astounding

[@charleslangrishl9124]

Written by the late and very great Vivian stanshall. You should listen to his band the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band!

[@messiahmoose]

Yeah, Winwood is a bonafide legend. He hit it big with Spencer Davis Group’s Gimme Some Lovin’ when he was only 18. He played with Clapton in Blind Faith (Can’t Find My Way Home). He jams with Hendrix on Voodoo Chile. He hit it big again with Traffic (Dear Mr. Fantasy and Low Spark of High-heeled Boys), then again with his solo career!

[@mimimusick9734]

The Low Spark of High-heeled Boys! That's the only song I know from Traffic and it's a tuune! Thanks for reminding me 👍

[@margarettallett762]

Awesome combo these guys were!!!

[@kitskivich]

Always.

[@beckoz77]

Indeed. Smooth...Cool... Hot...Chill Giving.

[@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.

[@shelleyl4117]

I remember this song well. I had just met my new boyfriend in June or July of 1986. We didn't last long maybe 7 months before he cheated on me. So I dumped him. I met my now husband in August of 87 and have been married 35 years. So it worked out well.

[@donjenkins3861]

Steve actually performed with his Father and older brother Muff at 8 yrs old. When they played in bars and taverns, they would turn the piano towards the crowd so Steve was hidden from the crowd. He joined The Spencer Davis group at age 14, he's 73 now. In the tribute to George Harrison "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" where Prince showed his tremendous guitar skills, Steve was in the back, the white dude on piano. 🤔🤗😎

[@ronnix23]

you need to go back to the 1960s with this guy, one of the most amazing voices of classic rock. He was 15 years old when his band Spencer Davis Group had hits like Gimme Some Lovin, he was with the band Blind Faith with ERic Clapton, then with the band Traffic. so much talent

[@rumseyh]

Honest mistake... but when you gave props to "the horns" around 6:44, :45 or so... THAT was actually CHAKA KHAN'S voice! Yep... she is known for her incredible vocal range and her "wails" which sound like horns.

[@DJHolte]

Have you done other Winwood songs? From this era, I love love love "While You See A Chance", "Back in the High Life" and "The Finer Things" -- and from a bit earlier in his career, "Arc of a Diver" is amazing. The man is a rock legend. And speaking of legends, that's Chaka Khan singing backing vocals. I love it when she gets into it and it comes out "Brang me a higher love", lol. Chaka and her band Rufus do an amazing and fun tune called "Tell Me Something Good" - and then a later hit song for her was "Ain't Nobody". ❤️

Steve is legendary, wrote his first hits at age 15, was a backup player for Ray Charles when he toured England as a teen, had hits in the 60s, 70s, 80s...had his own band Traffic, was in a and with Eric Clapton called Blind Faith, and what you were watching here was his solo career, Spencer Davis Group as a teenager...

[@lmitchell3604]

I saw him open for Steely Dan in 2016. I mean I knew he was great but I was not expecting the supreme awesomeness that he is.

[@peterthompson8014]

Steve Winwood is one of the greatest lead singers of all time! Whether it's with the Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, traffic or his solo work.

[@jerrycote659]

If you want to dive into Chaka Khan who is the amazing voice complimenting Steve’s on this track, you could go with what was her biggest hit chart wise which was “I Feel For You” ( written by Prince). But, her music as part of Rufus is just as good and I would recommend a couple of strong R&B tracks which I know Amber will appreciate, “Ain’t Nobody” (which is my personal favorite), “Do You Love What You Feel” and her anthemic “I’m Every Woman”, and NO, that is not a Whitney song, Chaka recorded it first in 1978 for her debut solo album and it was her first solo hit. Whitney recorded a cover version in 1992 and while she did an amazing job, sorry, no one can match the original Chaka version, not even Whitney.

[@richmiddlebrook3103]

Jay - the "horns" you heard around the 6:45 mark aren't horns, it's Chaka Khan doin' what Chaka Khan do. She was actually one of the contestants on a recent season of The Masked Singer, and was still amazing.

[@paul.kristoff]

The woman is Chaka Khan. You have to check out her song "I Feel For You". Produced by Prince in 1984 and the first R&B song to feature a rapper. Also her song Ain't Nobody which I'm sure you would know without even knowing that you know it. The rhythm guitar of Higher Love was performed by Nile Rogers, who you might know from the 70s band Chic (check out their songs "Good Times" and "Le Freak"), and the Daft Punk song Get Lucky.

It's "Le Freak", not "Freak Out" (that's just a prominent bit of the chorus, but said chorus also contains "le freak, c'est chic")

[@carltonbakerii8274]

The Squad *really* needs to get into Chic!

[@janiceduke1205]

As Winwood reminisced, "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." Armed with spirituality, the resulting track became his breakthrough solo hit, flying high to No. 1 on August 29, 1986. The tune went on to receive two Grammys in 1987 for Record of the Year (against Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" and Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love") and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

[@fredhonest339]

I hope you both continue down the path of Steve Winwood, because you will not be disappointed. Arguably one of the greatest singers and musicians of the rock era, he's been a star since his teens. The album Higher Love is from, Back in the High Life is a masterpiece - eight exceptional songs with this being his biggest hit. By the way, that's Chaka Khan on backing vocals and the great Nile Rodgers on guitar. Great reaction!

There's a KZbin video from about 9 years ago of him playing on an acoustic version of a song he did back in the 60s with the Spencer Davis Group (EDIT: correcting the group he did this song with .... it's Blind Faith) titled "Can't Find My Way Home".

Winwood originally was a key member of several major acts of the 60s and 70s that include: the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith, and the Eagles, as well as a successful solo career. As a solo artist, he's had numerous hit singles and continues to collaborate with multiple artists today -- most recently in 2020 with Steely Dan. Winwood was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Traffic in 2004.

Winwood has been performing at a very high level since he was a teenager in the 60s. This song came out in '86 and it along the album"Back In The High Life" were monsters. Higher love won at least 2 Grammys.

[@Shrykespeare]

Steve Winwood's discography is as long as your arm. He was part of notable groups like Traffic, Blind Faith, and The Spencer Davis Group. He became a household name in the 80s with hits like "Higher Love", "Valerie", "Back in the High Life", "The Finer Things", and perhaps his most famous song, "Roll With It".

The most amazing thing about this song and this whole album is that Winwood not only wrote and sang on all the songs but he also played ALL the instruments on ALL the songs.... and recorded it in his home built studio... on a farm.

[@88wildcat]

It was the Arc of a Diver album that he played all the instruments on not this one. Nile Rodgers (from Chic) played guitar on this song and Joe Walsh plays guitar on two other songs on this album, so he didn't do everything himself on this one.

[@mitzifrancis9843]

Chaka Kahn is no back up singer! Try her song "Ain't Nobody" for sure! And please check out Steve Winwood's "Roll With It" as others recommended. The video for that song is very creative - cool perspective. Thanks for bringing so much joy!

[@user-cu9vy8uy2v]

Im surprised you guys didnt recognize, The One, The Only Chaka Khan.... Steve Winwood is a GENIUS! We're so lucky to have grown up with great artists from the 70's and 80's ! 90's too!😊

[@gandalf970]

I love Amber's smile when the music hits her!

Winwood is a musical genius. One of my alltime favorites from the 60s to 80's. My head just flooded with so many memories of listening to his music.

Hello..

[@myrathomas3532]

“I Feel For You” has Stevie Wonder on the harmonica and was written by Prince. It has some 80s Rap and vinyl scratching. Ain’t Nobody is her signature song. It was on the “Breakin” movie soundtrack. She released “I’m Every Woman” before Whitney Houston.

[@chrismcdonagh688]

Can't go wrong with Steve Winwood, no matter which era you choose.

[@neilevans6229]

Steve is a next level musician for anyone in the know.

[@joebwankenobi5194]

“DONT YOU KNOW WHAT THE NIGHT CAN DO” I’m shocked to not see this song in any comments after scrolling. It really showcases his voice. My fav by Steve

[@Opx958r]

[@jarodorla6949]

[@budinich7]

[@craigcooper7586]

Yes, please do a reaction to “Don’t you know what the night can do”! Nobody has posted a reaction to it and it’s a great song.

[@WinwoodCompletist]

But Have you heard this... :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJOxdJ2frciLmqM

[@deniseriley6622]

Steve Winwood and Chaka Khan! One of my favorite songs.

[@fredhonest339]

Hello Denise..

[@bryanforis1839]

He started when he was 14 years old and was a great singer

[@DT-we2ye]

I love that fact that at 6:43, you thought it was a horn, but it was actually Chaka's voice. That is probably the biggest compliment you can pay her, if you know her background and how she wants to use her voice. Just so you know, I take nothing from Steve Winwood. But the entire "breakdown" when they amp it up as you say, that entire background vocal three-part harmony of the chorus is all Chaka. Steve is only doing his adlibs (which are great), but the second half of the song, vocally, is Chaka, her background and her adlibs along with Steve.

[@skiavalanche]

Can’t Find My Way Home from his band Blind Faith (with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker) is one of my favorite songs of his. It’s been covered many times by many people. It is such a well written and composed song. It’s so beautiful.

[@CARNELIANTURQUOISE]

My very favorite song of his! Loved Blind Faith!

[@Nalublu]

The acoustic version with him playing his guitar in front of a fire is amazing!

[@shelfstretcher]

With the wood in the fire popping in perfect time@@Nalublu

[@chuckholden5448]

Blind Faith was Cream plus Steve Winwood. Jack Bruce was on Bass

[@jangle4246]

“While You See a Chance” and “Arc of a Diver” are great songs from Winwood’s 1980 album Arc of a Diver. My favorites when he was with Traffic are “Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” and “Rock and Roll Stew” from the 1971 album Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (whole album is good). “Keep on Running” (1965) is a great one by the Spencer Davis Group.

[@leebarker8953]

I totally agree with all of the great Steve Winwood comments below. More Steve Winwood please!

[@sharonh951]

Steve Winwood has been around since the 60's. He, along with his brother Muff Winwood, Pete York and Spencer Davis, formed the rock band The Spencer Davis Group in 1963. Steve was only 15 at the time. He was their lead vocalist and, their biggest hit , "Gimme Some Lovin", was released in October 1966 when he was just 18. It's one you should really check out. I know you'll love it !

[@mariebishop7357]

Steve Winwood is my favorite male artist of all time. My favorite song by him is "Can't Find My Way Back Home ". He has a large catalog of music, stretching back to the '60's, where he began singing with The Spencer Davis Group at the age of 15 years old. Such a brilliant talent. I can't say enough great things about him.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

and TRAFFIC and then some quick thing with Eric Clapton and the bass player Jack Bruce from Cream called BLIND FAITH ..It lasted about 15 minuets lol but it was good

[@laurabrevitz3944]

This song is SUMMER. Driving, windows down, radio blasting.... Oh, and - "Chaka Khan, let me rock you, let me rock you, Chaka Khan, let me rock you 'cuz I feel for you" *was* that summer. Good times.

[@bonnieamirault3782]

My all time FAVORITE 80s song! He sang this with Chaka Khan at the VH1 awards...AMAZING!!

[@cedarandsound]

One of the best good-vibes songs of the 80s

[@elainekizanis1311]

That is Chaka Khan . One of the greats. Listen to I Feel for You or Ain’t Nobody or I’m Every Woman by her 😊

[@rileyandmike]

This Steve Winwood song reminds me of USMC boot camp - when I was working in the chapel the Marine Religious leader always had it playing

[@karen848]

Steve Winwood has been in the musical spotlight since the age of 17 when he played for the Spencer Davis Group, then Blind Faith , Traffic and finally a brilliant solo career. I could give you a list of songs but my picks are “Valerie” and “ Arc of a Diver”. Thanks for giving Steve some earned recognition.

[@jhamler1]

Gimme Some Lovin... That's Steve Winwood's highest achievement. In fact, he's a pretty super duper musician.
