Talking Back to the Night ~ Steve Winwood

[@edgreen8140]

Excellent!

[@fimker]

Probably the most under rated musician and never had the acclaim he should have recieved

[@minden1990]

This song is dedicated to my best friend Eric Mc Callum who Sadly died in 1991 from Ardrossan Ayrshire Scotland Eric was a great fan of Steve Winwood and got me hooked I still have thise memories of us listening to this album in ChapelHill Mount from Mick Hendry. You will never be forgoten Mate !!

[@asianwatcher]

I think few people understand what Steve Winwood accomplished with this album. He wrote most of the music. Then he personally recorded each track and did the mixing. To do ALL of that and turn out a work of this caliber takes EXTRAORDINARY talent. I believe he never got the accolades that he really deserved.

[@FreeCorps1984]

Still have the original album cover framed because it was special to me. It was an album that I always loved from the time it came. Very underrated

[@RetroJenny]

Steve is a genius. Very underrated song.

[@caphouse4683]

My all time favorite Winwood song.

[@lawrencefass9778]

ON THIS 1 STEVE WINWOOD PLAYED GUITAR,DRUMS,BASS,ORGAN,SAX AND PIANO. .PRODUCED TOO

[@michaelharned8741]

One of Steve Winwoods best songs

[@EphemeralProductions]

Steve Winwood did *all* the instruments on this album! Can you believe it? Pretty talented guy! :)

[@Lesrevesdhiver]

First time I heard this song was when I was 12, the alarm-radio was going off and this song was playing. In the dream of course the song was playing, I was in my room on a sunny day, me and a friend were sorting thru a bunch of papers. The part that stood out in my mind was "He's a preacher and a teacher" This song is awesome and too soon forgotten by radio.

[@tapeduk]

Great Song from the Multi-talented Steve Winwood

[@alfredyoung1120]

I think of Miami Vice and riding with the top down at night in downtown city lights.The good ole days

[@carolynboyd3796]

Never heard this version.It's an absolute jewel.

[@llnytemagikll]

Most excellent lyrics. The images in your clip were very nice to watch also. i've always been a fan of Winwood. ~smiles~ Thanks for posting this. With a smile from ~magik.

[@AeroModule]

A very dark and underrated song. This is the original version, which has that nice fat analogue synth sound. The re-recording has more of a late-80s rock sound. Both are great.

[@2faatcaats]

@minden1990 Sorry to hear that you lost your best friend. He had great taste! This music is so sweet and soulful, with just a hint of melancholy--great to let the mind wander, down the narrow alleyways of the memory. Thnx for posting this outstanding song.

[@Rhutenia]

Finally found this. I love this song, and yes Steve Winwood is a great talent and very underated. But I luv em!

[@mrbpies4347]

One of the Masters of Music

[@Musiquesaecouter]

So Happy to see this beautiful slideshow for this outstanding underrated song from master steve.

[@Supernaut2000]

Wow, what a beautiful collage of shots, many of which I never knew existed! What a wonderful presentation of Steve's music. He truly transcends the years and years of performing such intelligent songs.

[@thartn8598]

One of my all time favorites! Thanks for posting. Amazing song.

[@falbendea]

I found out this song five years ago and I think is amazing. The photo with Jeff Lynne and with The Move incredible. Thanks a lot!!

[@EmilyCragg]

Talking back to the night is how you make it through.

[@guyglowmore1]

what an amazing carreer. inspiration

[@Rhutenia]

Classic musician & music-U gotta luv him-pix of all those music legends, Hendrix, Clapon etc...speechless! Thanx for posting this!

[@mrbarr1961]

i love this song , makes me think about life

Like a Time Traveler, instigating some of the best music of his ERA.....seriously, one of the best, ever....

[@SixDayWar67]

"" High above the heat of a summer New York street "" The first line and the overall feel of the song is exactly that...........driving slowly down the avenues of Manhattan on a warm muggy night at 10 pm.

[@kwixotic]

Great example of jazz/rock fusion.

[@ElisaSilva-sw2en]

Congratulations wonderfull chanel👍🏻❤️‍🔥

[@MrWittlez]

Haha at 1:03 it looks like he's roaring! Haha! I can hear him going "I am Stevie, here me roar!" But on a more serious note this is a very awesome video and extremely awesome song! I love Steve Winwood!

[@warrior9086]

This was a great time.....no fancy stuff...just music That was the time after Cream and the death of Jack Bruce I remember the Air Force Album...after that I lost track of Ginger Baker Other great organ for me at the time was Brian Auger with the trinity Thanks for the flash back

[@sturoc0]

"death of Jack Bruce " ??? He's still alive and crankin out great music and still playing bass like a wild man

[@warrior9086]

sturoc0 Hi there You are right ...just checked. Don´t know where that one came from.Guess I have to do some updating and clean out in my head. Thanks

[@sturoc0]

.

[@bobbibaker4685]

God, I love this man. So brilliant.

[@lindahermer9857]

Steve is a superb musician, and on top of that I find tremendous comfort in the lyrics Steve and Will Jennings wrote.

[@bella_bella85]

I heard this song in ihop and i just had to hear it again!

[@morrisman64]

Love this song thanks for the post

[@Ben1238]

Until now I had never heard this version of the song. I grew up with the version on Chronicles.

[@0nannette]

MAN STEVE U GOT A GREAT VOICE

[@MilkAndCornbreadd]

This track is my favorite in Steve Winwood's catalog. It should have been a much bigger hit. It was released again in 1987 as it was remixed to sound updated, but I still prefer this original version as it sounds more raw, keyboard and synth wise.

[@FreeCorps1984]

+Southern Dream Station Spot on, totally agree. Sets the mood much better.

[@MilkAndCornbreadd]

Stefano Pavone I don't play Grand Theft Auto, so I wouldn't know about that. It does have remnants of maybe a few 1980's flicks, though.

[@TheDonnalovesmusic]

One of my most favorite songs of all time.

[@conniealoha1]

Thank you for uploading this- I love the song, love the pics, and love the feelings that come with it.

[@exxam1]

He is one of the great Steves.

[@DYNODRUM]

well done / anthology of STEVE , TANKS

[@SuperRod88]

Happy Birthday Steve Winwood (May 11)

[@buddyobrien]

Proud.

[@bmckeeb1]

STEVE IS MY FAVORATE SINGER ..

[@fab4fan4ever64]

GREAT pix !! Audio is good, too...

[@funkyswede62]

This track is from 1982, taken from the "Talking Back To The Night" album.

[@guyglowmore1]

fantastic. thanx

[@tania547]

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chrisb7498]

more sax in this . I love it

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

+Chris B Chris Botti?

[@freespirit21newyork]

Yeah this version rox 🎷🌟👑

[@rahimnassim]

a great album

[@sylviatella8710]

good song.

[@Mavrilon]

Go to Michelob Film Editor Commercial and you'll find it. But the version on the commercial has a saxaphone background that's not on this version.I think it is a lot better.

[@guyglowmore1]

thanx. that's one of my top 50 winwood songs. what's this i hear about steve gonna be on the new chris wood album recently dug up but never released till now? can't find any on utube yet .

[@klaritavital]

LOOOOOOVEEEEEE!!!!!

[@sauermusicDE]

One of my all time favourites! But you have to hear it in CD quality with headphones on to get the "real" feeling. Very catching lyrics. A good example for the classic sound of the Sequential Prophet Synthesizer by the way.

[@juliadennehy]

High School. 1988. Time goes by F A R too fast.

[@BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@tall32guy think the key to making it is the songwriting ability, no matter how many instruments you play, gotta have good songs to begin with. Steve and Sting have that ability in spades!!!

[@tommyborgia3590]

The night belongs to MICHELOB, sorry folks but I always think of that commercial when I hear this.Great song.

[@lightlyone]

A musician's musician's musician.

[@MsFisicoculturismo]

gran Steve winwood.-

[@bmckeeb1]

o woooooooooooooooooooow love it..

[@pinz2022]

I just pulled up Joe's version. I'd give Steve credit on points but Joe rendered some unusually subdued lyrics. Plus, his backup was superb.

[@elissafox3265]

nice photos

[@adindin]

@tall32guy Yes he is pretty talented, Steve Winwood

[@MrAgeingrocker]

jo cocker version is available on u tube

[@EdMcF1]

@fimker Those of us who know make up for the rest! Steve is unsurpassed.

[@JenniferBtheGroove]

Please listen to Steve Winwood's song on 2nd TRAFFIC album "No Time To Live"....one of best songs ever written

[@Ibantar]

Where's the music like this 2day?!!!

[@johngomes4278]

Cool 😎

[@dot4design]

Steve on his best....swinging, funky, a brilliant melody......MORE FANTASTIC ´80´s music at my channel!!!!

[@danewson]

@vfrmin you can find the remix on his chronicles album, or you can find it on youtube probably.

[@vfrmin]

@danewson I will get chronicles today. Thanks for the help!!

[@marcelnz]

@GlupiAlbanci steve winwood ; he even named his LP after this title! I have both albums (joe's and steve's)

[@EphemeralProductions]

@BLUESMANRONCHICAGO Yup! :) Both very talented guys. There's musicians from all over the world that can do that though, I've found many on the Net over the past few years. But, they just haven't made it big like Steve and Sting have. :)

[@coloradream]

Steve Winwood did.

[@BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@tall32guy only musician other than perhaps Sting who could go into a studio and record an entire album by himself!!!!

[@jenniferhemenway-ramos8271]

I loved the music videos he created. Which one has the scene in gypsyville? I can’t seem to find it & I loved it!

[@paulcampana]

Steve Winwood brilliant joe cocker does a good version as well

[@camahospitalregionalpozari1995]

suenan aparentemente igual sus canciones , pero con pequeñas variaciones que las hacen tan distintas ¡¡

[@occupythematrix9576]

cool

[@Mavrilon]

You're welcome.

[@MukyMagic]

I watched a documentary on Mr Winwood and he stated he hated the Americanisation that took place to him the Eighties - felt a bit let down as I grew up with it and loved it and still do - just kind lost my zest for him really ......

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Yet he moved to fucking Nashville Tn

[@Hemulen40]

HOOOOOOOOWL !

[@leonbrain68]

@tall32guy He was not dubbed "England's Boy Genius" for nothing.

[@maxmas55]

@GlupiAlbanci Have you ever heard good old Joe did compose anything?

[@jmaster38]

i like this song better with more sax

[@LeftyStratPlayer]

This is the original version that was released in 1982. The remixed version was released in 1987 on his "Chronicles" album. And I agree with you that remixed saxophone version blows this one out of the water.

[@jmaster38]

absolutely

[@mhe1968]

I think this version seems more heavy than the other version. I can't really speak for the instruments too much.. I just can speak about how I feel when I hear it.

[@jmaster38]

Beth McKenzie i love it Beth. It makes me long for the 80's again

[@jmaster38]

that's cool either one is good.

[@solesirching73]

No offense, but I like Stevie's remix version with sax solo - the original sounded like it's played from a Casio keyboard

[@user-zk1wi6ve5g]

Crank this puppy!

[@Stubummer]

Not to throw cold water...but as a sax player I like the later version with the killer sax solo

[@vfrmin]

@danewson I really like this. Where can I find the remix??

[@thefirstDeeDah]

I get lost in this song. It helped me leave my ex husband.

[@robertreaves4716]

What year is this song

[@JimLeslieBerrier]

1982

[@passionateapathy]

@minden1990 steve dedicated the song to him?

[@markcurtis7390]

Winwood or Clapton as to overall musical/entertainment ability? Tough call.

[@SuperRod88]

@DYNODRUM Oops You're right! I must have typed fast and didn't noticed xD Sorry for that!

[@lizziemartin6113]

Paul Young ripped this off with "Why Don't You Come Back" ??????? Or is it called "Come Back And Stay"...whatever..you get it.

[@TheSighphiguy]

major similarities to "Night Train"

[@hardcorehouse]

Music 101 for remixers who don't get it: if the song's already good, it's harder to do it justice, and don't bother with the redo unless you bring something special. The only substantive change in the "remix" is gated, clumsy snares that were in vogue in the mid-late 80s that were on every track, that a monkey could've done. In this case it only impedes the flow in the original, making it clunky.
