As promised over 12 hours later from this morning’s previous Clapton/Winwood concert theme revisited entry, I’m following up with some more Winwood stuff I’ve always liked.

So, let’s take a look at one of the most overlooked gifted musicians of our time:

Steve Winwood: “Back In The High Life Again”

just a very nice well done song about what we all want. just to have fun and be happy.

Steve Winwood: “Higher Love”

i always liked this song as a kid. it kinda reminds me a more simple time when it all seemed so much more reachable. it still is but it’s much harder these days. this song gives me hope! it’s so musical too. particularly the end.

Steve Winwood: “Higher Love-Live VH1”

and a live one for good measure! it’s from 1988.

Steve Winwood: “Valerie”

i just love this song. the video’s pretty back and forth like a concert spinning everywhere. the keyboard is tremendous in this.

Call on me! Call on me! Call on me Va—er—ie!!!!! Come and see me! I’m the same boy I used to be!

Steve Winwood: “The Finer Things”

there’s a reason this album was so successful. cause all the songs rocked! then again, you really can’t go wrong with his immense talent and great singing voice. when I think of keyboard solos, I think of Winwood. listen to the end and you’ll see what I mean.

Steve Winwood: “While You See A Chance”

perhaps maybe the best of all the songs off the Chronicles 1987 album.

Steve Winwood: “Holding On”

this has more of a jazz feel to it. great scene.

Steve Winwood: “Don’t You Know What The Night Can Do?”

this definitely is one of his best solo works and it got so popular, it was used in beer ads and sometimes TV shows.

I’d link up more cause there’s a lot more stuff from his illustrious past dating back to his Traffic days. But I chose to focus on the songs I remember. And maybe some of my younger generation will at least recognize them.

Hope ya’ll enjoyed it.
