Back in the High Life Again

Steve Winwood is a true, certified rock renaissance man who has worn many hats during the course of his long and varied career. Starting out as a teenage prodigy and a member of the revolving blues-rock collective The Spencer David Group, Winwood then went on to become one of the prime personalities of the late-1960s folk-rock movement with the legendary Traffic. Being the restless creative soul that he is, Winwood then disbanded Traffic and notched up a brief pit stop as one-third of acclaimed supergroup Blind Faith. Winwood then proceeded to carve out his own highly successful solo stint, which has lasted more than three decades, and yielded popular radio standards like 'Higher Love', 'While You See a Chance' and 'Roll With It'. Check out one of Winwood's lesser-known, but no less potent hits, 1986's cautiously optimistic ‘Back in the High Life Again’, backed by a prosaically appropriate video.
