Higher Love by Steve Winwood

About

A very spiritual piece of poetry off Winwood’s acclaimed album Back in the High Life, “Higher Love” was his first hit (in 1986) after a four-year professional hiatus – and his first solo number one ever. The song won the 1986 Grammy award. Backed up by Chaka Khan and others, the vocals convey a gospel influence. Winwood’s first solo hit “While You See a Chance” was released on his 1980 album Arc of a Diver, and peaked at Number 3.
