My wife of nine years was killed in a car accident in May 1987. We loved and danced to this song it will for the rest of my life be without any doubt a song that brings her back every time I hear it.
He is underrated. He is a virtuoso genius musician who combines multiple music styles, always has since Traffic days. Any serious music fan who doesn’t know his history and importance is missing a master.
r3d3y3si Sir, I know all about Spencer Davis days. He joined around age 15, and quickly became a phenom with his incredible voice and musical virtuosity. I have followed him his entire career. I think he’s about the best singer/songwriter/musician of all.
r3d3y3si hey guy, I offer my opinion on SW. It’s a matter of musical taste, style, and knowledge. Know the music landscape from the late 1950s on. Who is better in your in your view?
@@shittysunglasses Well I get it. Like all great singers he has a very distinctive voice. I always thought he was a lot younger than me. Turns out it's only a couple of months. He seemed very young in all his early work, Spencer Davis, Traffick, Blind Faith. He was a wunderkind.
He is truly a living legend. This man's talent is immeasurable...voice with soul, guitar, piano, organ, writer, an o.g. from the 60s!!! .. I hope I just get one chance to see him live.
I absolutely love this song. Both versions hit so differently and profoundly as a father of two daughters. The original always moves me to dance. This one makes me cry...in the best way tho. Thank you for sharing the talented Winwoods.
wow, Steve still has a great voice at 70 years old. I'm quite sure he'll still have this luxury in 20 years from now when he is 90! He has always portrayed a great singing voice and charisma. Thanks Steve Winwood for all you do sir!
Most people when they reach 70,used to be about5 years or so in retirement.today not so much.Unless they have medical problems,and they cannot return to work.This happens to all ages,not just older people,sadly.,
Steve Winwood is definitely one of the greatest artists in the recent decades. His talent as a musician is incomparable as well his voice. He’s also very versatile from his blues-rock work in Blind Faith to writing pop perfection with Higher Love. Thank you for inspiring me, Steve. 👍🏽
Yeah impossible, tons of older artists have to lower the key to be able to pull it off but this is in the friggin same key as on the album! He must be a non smoker and not drink any whisky to maintain his voice like that. Freak of nature, and I mean that in a good way!
Wholly shit. Dude is around 70 and still can blow like he did when he was in his early to mid 30s. Original key and still solid. This kind of maintenance is unheard of. Amazing.
Hello 👋 Daniela. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Scott Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
I'm only 23, but i love 80s music ❤ The message in this song is great and i think it could be interpreted differently by every person ❤ My higher love is Jesus and this song reminds me of that ❤ thank you
Daniel Bukovsky: Exactly right a soulful wolverine even back when he was an adolescent with his love for music and his school reports frequently read "Steve spends far too much time entertaining others" and as a result, he finished up getting expelled from school. Which was a blessing for him.
Thank you, Stevie and the band. I ran the 1989 Pittsburgh marathon with your music -- on a mini cassette player. This song goes straight to the heart of life and the beautiful great beyond. Blessings!! Go higher!!
WOW!!! He stills sounds GREAT!!!! After 32 years his voice is great. Background singers would’ve enhanced this performance. He’s now sporting sideburns. But he looks great! I can still see the original video in 1986 with him jamming with the legendary Chaka Khan. Great song from one the 1980’s biggest selling artist.....
Well, I guess we know about how old Malcom is. Spencer Davis Group was formed in 1963, with then 14-year-old Stevie singing most of the vocals. But, he was part of a band prior to that with his brother where they would have to sneak him into the clubs. So ... that's more than 56 years. When only 18, Winwood, Winwood and Davis came out with Gimme Some Lovin' and I'm a Man. No kids, I'm a Man was not written by Chicago, but they did a good job with it, as well as others. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x3kZEjD3Gr8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4_gFF-z9OS8.html We've had the honor of his music ever since. Thank you, Steve.
I'm 18 and I'm so fortunate my family listens to this kind of music because I am a HUGE fan of music from people like Steve Winwood, all the old bands(Journey, Earth Wind and Fire, etc!). I'm going to see him when he comes to my state in July. So thrilled we still have him around and he still sounds amazing!
Similar, although i am a few yrs older. My parents loved records and so i was brought up on vinyl, motown, beatles, kinks all of steve winwoods contemporaries. As child, not really a toy, i was bought a record player, a 1960's retro machine and i was blown away. As a teenager i got heavily into collecting lp records in bulk, and this has been my obsession ever since. Its hard to believe just how many different bands and artists there were during the past 3 decades 1960's 70's & 80's who all at one time or another have made incredible albums. Your 18/19, i hope you get to enjoy it, just like i did when i started at 14. mid 1990's Only thing i will add, don't get too carried away like i have, life is very short!. Ive spent most of my life collecting & listening to so many albums, but what the heck, i enjoy it and it is one of the greatest hobbies ever!!!!!
How very true re: "most underrated of all time" My "go to music" for 30 yrs & til I die 🥰 💞 Greatest concerts when I had the privilege to see him & awesome band plus could afford to go.
Hello 👋 Lis . How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Scott Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
If i was 8 jears old, my father bought one of the first cd players and the back in the high live and the roll with it albums. No other musician has teached me so much. It was positiv music. I felt it. No im 42 and understand his genious more. Thank you for your music!
Hello 👋 cate. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Scott Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Singer. Songwriter. Pianist. Organist. Guitarist. Drummer. Bassist. String player. Artist. Very, very few are as skilled. Even fewer are as accomplished. Fewer still have had careers that lasted as long.
The same person picks out his outfits that does Leno's. I love em both. I'm 66 and have been listening to Winwood all my life. He is without a doubt the most talented man on the planet.
God I love this dude. Always respected him but then saw him preform at Bonnaroo in 04 before the Grateful Dead members played. Pouring rain...too much LSD, way too much...Winwood came on late and I mistimed my dose...took me through every emotion possible...finished with Back in the High Life...tears...mind blown apart. The Dead came on wayyy late after and I saw the world end but god almighty I remember Steve and VERY little of the band I traveled 18 hours for. Love you Steve.
Every time I check out one of these RU-vids there is always someone saying" "the most underrated musician of our time " How does someone get under rated ?
Iam.. 63 . Grew up with this amazing, voice, performer….and I love his perfections/imperfections. Love his flannel shirt, and grey sideburns. Nothing more sexy,then “Authenticity” coming from Pefection.
My Dad bought the Back in the High Life when it came out,he saw Steve in concert in the 60s when Steve was 16 .....I was a teen and played the Hell out of the High Life CD!
