So glad I had the opportunity to be part of the Republic choir from Barbados behind this song, along with the other commonwealth countries :-). We recorded it in early April 2023 ready for this.
I am soo glad that I got an oppurtunity to participate in this song and represent my country on screen! The entire performance with a magnificent blend of all the other countries and cultures was splendid!
Best performance of the entire show. I have been a fan of Steve since I was a kid and I’m not even 40 yet. I always love his musical comebacks and this was an amazing performance to top off a still relevant career of a man who plays all his own instruments and sings like Ray Charles.
That's the message of the Coronation... we'd forgotten, it being song since the last time. But just start with Veni Creator Spiritus / Veni Sanctor Spiritus. The Holy Spirit was at the Coronation and the Concert, but we invite Him in. It's our choice... Personally speaking, I was broken ... and begged. He came. He does come when we ask, if we really want it. I did and do...
There's great performance DVD of his and EC's reunion where they each chose from the other's material... and it (Full Concert) is absolutely outstanding; so well produced. Each of them is interviewed separately answering the same questions, fascinating in and of itself. The AlbumCD is brilliant and the accompanying DVD is 'Award' worthy..!
From the Telegraph “Steve Winwood knock out an absolutely rip roaring version of Higher Love backed by a massed choir of singers from all over the Commonwealth? It was great to hear the old rock and soul man. The celebratory reception suggests he is overdue a revival.”
Outstanding job!! Been a long long time since I have heard and seen you on stage Steve. I saw you many times back in the day, in the San Francisco Bay Area! Thanks!! :)
Eben noch gesehen 1965 in der "Aktuellen Schaubude" in Hamburg mit der SDG u. "Keep on running"" - und jetzt schon bei der Krönung von König Charles III.😂 Danke, Steve Winwood für all deine Musik zwischen diesen Jahren.. und "hol di fuchtig".
What a Gentleman. Stevie such a wonderful performance. Your voice is absolutely amazing. You topped the show last night. Around the world and different cultures. 🕊❤
Steve.....I haven't watched the video yet. I was listening to other music of yours, and I'm just overcome, lol. Without getting overly verbal... you've been a shining light for me, in that place we don't know how to talk about. From the core of my heart : Thank you. Thank you for rising to the challenge and being a Warrior for the People ❤
As usual Stevie delivers. Absolute best performance of the Coronation Concert. I have loved him/his music since late 70s,early 80s. Just a great talent.
He has had a very long career hasnt he it started when he was in the Spencer Davies group aged 16 and what an incredible voice he had . Keep on running is one of my all time favourite 1960s songs. Its nice to see him still showing up for these big events
That's the Holy Spirit at work. Don't ignore the deeper meaning here. Unity and love and meaning and artistic creativity like this have only one source...
indeed, the very best performance of thd entire show. wonderful voice, brilliant arrangement with all those strings and backing singers..Alas , barely mentioned in press reports..might have been some but I haven't seen any.
Whitney Houston covered this song in 1990. The song "Higher Love" covered by her was once released on the Japanese version of the album I'm Your Baby Tonight. *It's very sad that Houston died in 2012*
I tried to watch the entire concert but could not load it. How can I see his entire performance from this coronation concert? Only 39 seconds on RU-vid!
BBC trying to limit the spread of beautiful, unifying, spiritual, meaningful things, while harbourimg evil things in its midst! In the 2020s we come out clearly on the side of good or evil. since the BBC needs to atone for its sin, let the Concert be heard.... through the King and the anointing Holy Spirit, it belongs to ALL of us...
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel. Mark 1:15 THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR RIGHT NOW. REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS TODAY, AND GIVE ALL YOUR LIFE TO HIM, WHOSOEVER READS THIS MESSAGE. ALSO, CALL ON THE EVIL OF ABORTION TO BE COMPLETELY ABOLISHED AND CRIMINALIZED TODAY; NO EXCEPTIONS. Happy Belated 75.
