We mentioned this on the air yesterday, and played you a clip, but this is so good you need to enjoy the entire thing.  I remember riding in the car with my sister when she first got her license and the popped in a new cassette (look it up, kids) from Steve Winwood called "Back In The High Life Again."

The first single, was "Higher Love."  It seemed like for that entire Spring/Summer, she was playing that song whenever I was in the car with her.

Trust me, you could not get away from this song.  It spent 4 weeks atop the charts and won Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

All of which makes it bizarre that I had almost forgotten about this song.  And then...this happened.

This past weekend on the "One World:  Together at Home" concert, the UNREAL Keith Urban absolutely CRUSHED a cover version of this song.
