"Refugees of the Heart" is the 1990 solo album by Steve Winwood. The album combined a chart-topping single, "One and Only Man" with some of Winwood's most mature and complex songs.Fact|date=August 2007 Unlike his previous two albums, "Refugees" was not as accessible and is one of the more neglected albums in Winwood's corpus. While "I Will Be Here" was released as a single, this album did not have the second smash radio hit that characterized the previous two albums.

"One and Only Man" also saw the return of former Traffic bandmate Jim Capaldi to Winwood's songwriting team. This would lead to the Traffic "reunion" in 1994, which consisted of a collaboration between Winwood and Capaldi. (By that time, Chris Wood was deceased and none of the other former members were invited to participate.) Because of the collaboration, Winwood would not record another solo album until the late 1990s.

Non-album tracks

* Always (instrumental)
* In the Light of Day (instrumental version)

:"Always" was the b-side to "One and Only Man", while the instrumental version of "In the Light of Day" was the b-side to "I Will Be Here". The instrumental version, an edit of the album version's backing track, runs for about 6 minutes and contains some improvisational work at the end which is not on the album version.

:In 1990, cassette singles were popular, and both of this album's singles were released in cassette single format. There were also CD singles with these b-sides.

:These non-album tracks are notable because Winwood rarely produced non-album songs.
