    "Higher Love" is a 1986 hit song for Steve Winwood. It was the first single released from his third solo LP, "Back in the High Life". It was written by Winwood and Will Jennings, and produced by Russ Titelman and Winwood. The female vocals on the song were performed by Chaka Khan.

    "Higher Love" was Winwood's first Billboard Hot 100 number one hit, topping the chart for one week. It was preceded by Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" and followed by "Venus" by Bananarama. It also peaked at number 13 in the United Kingdom, his highest charting solo hit there. It also earned two Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

    The music video was shot in June 1986 by directors Peter Kagan and Paula Greif. The same duo 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. Neither won.

    The song was used in the closing credits of the hit 1988 film "Big Business". It was also featured in an episode of the tv show Cold Case "Time to Crime". In a 1988 episode of "The Young And The Restless", Danny and Lauren sang the song to prep for a concert.
