Kagan and Greif shot an almost identical video for Duran Duran's " Notorious" in November of that year coincidentally, both videos were nominated for several awards at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards though neither won. It uses the shorter single version and was shot in June 1986 by directors Peter Kagan and Paula Greif. The music video for the song was Winwood's first. Tom said, "It was one of those happy accidents, and it happened because Chris always taught me that if the tape is rolling and there's a musician in the studio, make sure the tape machine is in record!" Music video Producer Russ Titelman remembered the fill being played ad lib by JR while his friend Chaka Khan was preparing to sing her background vocals on "Higher Love", causing Khan to exclaim "What is that shit? It sounds like voodoo shit!" Tom Lord-Alge agreed that the drum fill was played as a lark after JR completed his drum overdubs for "Higher Love". He said, "it's one of the best drum intros I've ever played." JR used a Latin rimshot technique across the top of his classic seamless brass Ludwig Black Beauty snare, unmuffled, with its snare wires disengaged, to emulate the sound of a timbale.
Titelman was happy with the result and decided to open the album with this drum fill. Music engineer Tom Lord-Alge had suggested moving one of John Robinson's impromptu drum fills to the beginning of "Higher Love", by assigning a timing offset to one of two tape machines such that they first played the drum fill followed by the song coming in on the beat. Kygo's version was released as a single worldwide, and on 21 August 2019, their version hit number one on Billboard magazine's Dance Club Songs chart, making it Houston's highest-charting posthumous release to date.
In June 2019, Norwegian DJ Kygo reworked Houston's cover into a tropical house track. James Vincent McMorrow covered the song in 2011, on his first album "Early in the Morning". Whitney Houston covered the song in 1990 and it was included as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of her third studio album I'm Your Baby Tonight. It also peaked at number 13 in the United Kingdom, Winwood's highest charting solo entry there, and reached number one in Canada for a week. The song also spent four weeks atop the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and earned two Grammy Awards, for Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. It was preceded by Madonna's " Papa Don't Preach" and followed by " Venus" by Bananarama. "Higher Love" was Winwood's first Billboard Hot 100 number-one song, topping the chart for one week. The female vocals on the song were performed by Chaka Khan, who also appeared in the music video for the song. It was written by Winwood and Will Jennings and produced by Russ Titelman and Winwood.
It was the first single released from his fourth solo LP, Back in the High Life. " Higher Love" is a 1986 song by English singer Steve Winwood. For other uses, see Higher Love (disambiguation).
