Help ID Steve Winwood Duet
cam gib
You might be talking about "Valerie"; the song has been redone from a
'70s album by Steve Winwood and put on the greatest hits album in circa
1988.

STILL IN THE GAME
- from the 1982 album "Talking Back to the Night"
Here's to gamblers
Who hold to the game
Through the hard times
They don't lose their aim
And they hope for time on their side
And they keep a ticket to ride
They keep watching for signs in the land
They keep watching for signs in the land
And they stand there watching the sky
And they stand there ready to fly
Here's to never letting go
Though sometimes it does get lonely
I still walk out in the morning light
Just to see what is there
I hear music in silent nights
Searching I find a reason to care
One heart moving still the same
Still in the game
Here's to lovers who reach for it all
Never matching the rise with the fall
And they just can't leave it alone
And they want it all till it's gone
Here's to players who can't leave their song
And it haunts them
Their night is so long
'Cause there's music there in their mind
From a world they're trying to find
Here's to never letting go
Though sometimes it does get lonely

"Valerie" and "Still in the Game" was initially released on Talking
Back to the Night in 1982. "Valerie" was remixed and re-released on
Chronicles in 1986.
"Valerie" featured a nameless actress; "Still" featured Winwood's
then-wife, Nicole. If you want to see Winwood's current wife, check
out the video for Back in High Life Again; that's Eugenia waltzing
with Steve.

You've got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you've never been hurt
Dance like there's nobody watching
It's got to come from the heart if you want it to work
