Steve Winwood V

Rounding out the focus on Steve we come to his solo career which he concentrated on fully from 1982 onward. Somewhat oddly it was in this period that Steve achieved his greatest success, at least commercially. Great material here from the Roll With It, Back in the High Life and Chronicles albums. So many songs to choose from but in the end I always go to "Higher Love".
Just an incredible song, can't help but smile everytime you hear it.
Steve is one of the many artists' whose career received great benefit from the power of video, however looking back at this clip it was just too painfully dated. Check out a full length stream here, it's definitely meant for listening on your own....
