Todays video is posted mainly because, this song got stuck in my head again, and I couldn't tell you the last time I heard it. It's your typical 80s fare. Synth. Big hair, and what looks like a color rip off of A-Ha's "Take On Me."
There IS another video for this song, as it was originally released in 1982 on his album "Talking Back to the Night." It was remixed and re-released in 1987 on his compilation album "Chronicles." The remix version got this music video, and it shot up to #9 on the US Charts. 1987 was also the year Steve Winwood won the Record of the Year Grammy for his song "Higher Love." In 2004, Eric Prydz sampled "Valerie" in his house mix song "Call on Me."
Enjoy the 1987 mix of "Valerie" by Steve Winwood.
