And now, my ultimate dad-rock confession: I will always love this song. It is so "Eighties" (right at the start of the decade, it helped define the sound in a lot of ways) and I don't care. It's relentless, the hooks don't let you go:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHnFy9ZlxJc …

So many great songs in the 80s. Valerie, Higher Love, Back in the High Life, Finer Things...the only one I don't like is Roll With It.

Back in the High Life is the best Winwood song and an all-time classic, fight me.

The only artist still living whose music my parents owned: Vera Lynn.
