Who else is in love with this song? It's one of those I can play on repeat and feel good each time listening to. I love the Back In the Higher Life album and I found this awesome remix of Higher Love

I love Chaka's voice on Higher Love.


damn let's post the vid shall we?

One of the all time great songs of the 80s...got me going then, gets me going now!

Love this song!

I love this song! I always wondered who sung it exactly. Guess now I know. Everytime it comes on in some department store, or some other store, I sing along to it.

Such a great song. Chaka's voice is like icing. It's that sweet, high, crisp yet warm topping on an otherwise great song.

I never knew Chaka was on this

No wonder I payed more attention to the backing vocals than usual.

I "Higher Love"

A few years back, this song got me out of a depression-funk mood.
To this day, it still is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Thanks for posting this thread. I thought of posting a similar
appreciation thread for this song a few months ago. Thanks
for actually doing it.

The extended version is even better! Chaka is a little more prevelant there.

WHERE can I find this!?!?!?

Is there a legit extended version, or are we talking about the longer album cut as opposed to the radio edit?

yeah i was crazy about the vocals, and then found out later it was chaka who I always liked

Love the song. Love Whitney's version aswell. Infact, I prefer her version.

Heres a live version (which is close to the studio version, program heavy:-



Studio version:



Sounds like it should be on the end credits of a late 80's buddy movie LOL. Love it!

omg I've been crazy about whitney's version too for years, I find her version easier to sing.

Fabulous song - Chaka really is the cherry on top of a very sweet cake.

I never need to hear that Whitney version ever again, however.

lots of love for this track and Steve!!!!!

I want to hear vainandy's opinion on whitney's cover

I remember Chaka even sang it in concert on the triple threat tour
