Back to the 80s: Flashback Videos - Steve Winwood 1986 - Kickin' it Old School
05.12.09 (9:09 pm)   [edit]
This is the ninth issue of my 80s Video of the Week which I call "Flashback Videos." As a reminder, these issues will not include the usual "Check this out" or "Quote of the day" sections at the end like normal issues of Kickin' it Old School usually do.

Today (May 12, 2009) is the 61st birthday of singer Steve WinwoodSteve Winwood. He was the lead singer in such bands as Spencer Davis Group, Traffic and Blind Faith, but had a marvelous run as a solo artist during the 80s. His 1982 song "Valerie" (which was re-mixed and re-released in 1987) ranks on my Best 80s Songs With One-Word Titles list. Winwood had back-to-back multi-platinum albums in Back in the High Life1986 with Back in the High Life and 1988 with Roll With It.

Back in the High Life is one of my favorite albums of the 80s decade, so I picked two songs from that 1986 album to feature this week. In celebration of his birthday, this week's first Flashback Video is "Higher Love" by Steve Winwood...


And this week's second Flashback Video is "Back in the High Life Again" by Steve Winwood...

The "Back in the High Life" album got me through some tough times. That was my theme song for a while. Even now, I always feel upbeat when I pop in the CD.

I can't believe he's already 61! How could these rockers be so much older, when I still feel like I'm in my 20's listening to their music?

Steve was on a roll in the eighties for sure, reaching the height of his popularity.
