not only the Great Mr Winwood is a jack of all trades in music (plays everything, sings like a God, composes etc) but is also the coolest womanizer :-)
yea she didnt get enough credit, but i disagree w/the song bein mdeocre w/o her. this iz Steve Winwood we talkn about, hez not a copycat, hez natural, great & unique. not fake like justin timber'fake', & otherz
I was in like 6th grade when this came out (ouch). But I still totally dig it. And I give big props for Steve showing love to all the girls with curls out there. I'm one of them and I love it!
I hate being old enough to know this stuff. You have them reversed I thinki. Higher love was 80's (85, 86 somewhere in there). Notorious was early 90's.
it seems like back then they didnt have a lot of "featuring" credits...an example would be Chaka Khans I Feel for You...Melle Mell raps but it doesnt say Chaka Khan feat. Melle Mell..could have probably sold another million if it was "feat. Chaka Khan"
to wildbore 48: Those who can, do - those who can't, criticize. What, exactly is your great contribution? If Winwood is a moron, that would make you a mongoloid idiot cubed. Have a wonderful day f*ckw*d.
Truly an inspirational song that takes me back to 1986 and that whirlwind summer in my life.What great days they were when we met in the pub and this was always on the jukebox.
this song would make you think that... Check out his early shit with Spencer Davis Group, Traffic and Blind Faith.. he USED to rule... and i'm sure he has outgrown this 80's mall mix garbage now. Great voice.
When I was a teen hearing this for the first time on the radio in 1986-I was blown away by his talent. Then later that day "Gimmie Some Lovin'" (with Spencer Davis Group from 20 years before then) came on a different radio station. Then, I somehow made the voice connection-confirmed it and thought this man is really a genius musician! I discovered other work too with Traffic, Blind Faith, etc. Steve is the best ever.
I remember steve from "welcome to the canteen" with jim capaldi and dave mason. And Traffic..."low spark of high heeled boys". He just gets better. Chaka too.....
a legendary song by a legendary artist. Brings memories back. This song gives a great uplifting feeling like you want to be on top of the sears tower with your girlfriend. The hell with nick jonas's version of this song... he is a disgrace to this wonderful song.
I tried so hard to get my hair to look like the dark-haired girl that S. Winwood is kissing. I have typical Nordic hair...blonde, baby fine, and straight as can be. Needless to say, it was an exercise in futility, I looked ridiculous, and nearly killed my hair in the process. LOL. Good times, the 80s.
This came out when I was a kid. I heard it then and liked it, but just got reintroduced to it again when I heard it on the plane on a flight I took. Now this song reminds me of my childhood and my trip. Love it!
fantastic i was 19 yrs old early clubbing days now with children of my own x3 lol take me back.. the music the hair the girls good times ,,,, N.igel .G.. sutton coldfield.. b.ham
I was 18 years old when this song came out and just fell in LOVE w/it and I'm still in love with 2e yrs, later. The music of 2009 as compared to the mid 80's just sucks. People like Steve Winwood, the Doobies, Fleetwood Mac, Bill Champlin(especially Bill) need to educate the youngins on what a piano, an accoustic guitar and real "living" horn sections are about instead of the drum machines and computerized schictt of today!! Enough ssaid!!
This is the second song I heard from Stevie Winwood. The first one was While You See A Chance form the album Arc of A Diver. I was in college during that time & I love listening to his music back then. The ever versatile Ms. Chaka Khan was backing him up on this song. Bring me a Higher Love!
