Steve Winwood Hey I posted on the Hall & Oates thread earlier and it got me thinking about other blue-eyed soul artists and I think that Steve Winwood qualifies for that category. His songs like "Higher Love" and "Fine Line" were great little tunes  . So, what's your take on him and do you think their are other blue-eyed soul singers who are very underrated?  .[Edited 4/28/06 23:35pm] | |

Love the 80's Winwood stuff. "Higher Love", "Valerie", "Roll With It", "Back in The Highlife", etc. | |

Yeah, "Back in the Highlife" was a great tune. I wonder what ever happened to Steve  . | |

Winwood was great from the very beginning with Spencer Davis Group. Gimme Some Lovin' was the SHIT, and features some fierce playing from Mr. Winwood. | |

And some amazing singing on that track for a 15 year old. He's had an interesting mix of material throughout his long career...

I love Roll With It. Very hot video, too. | |

Steve should do a remake of "Love Is Alive" by Gary Wright but a funkier arrangment. "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |

I'm kind of surprised he never released a really good greatest hits set. Just a single or double disc of his hits. Maybe Universal, which probably has his back catalog (he does have "20th Century Masters" set out, but it doesn't include a few of those big hits that were mentioned). | |

I remember hearing his songs in the 80s and then hearing him interviewed. I didn't know he was British.  He sings with such an American accent. | |

It's quite expansive as well. Expansive indeed. The only problem is that it was released before...  
...Junction Seven and About Time came out. I really like what i've heard on About Time. Got the DualDisc version on order. tA Tribal Disorder
