His work with Winwood varied from ok pop to beer-commercial lyrics ("Back In The High Life Again", and you know, somehow Miller has never used that commercially), but you have to be glad it kept Stevie's career alive so I could see him half-a-dozen times in the last 40 years. Underrated isn't the right word for Winwood but underappreciated might be...

James Earl Jones, Will Jennings....who’s gonna be #3?

Both those songs sucked.

“Valerie” co-written by Steve Winwood and Will Jennings - one of my favorites

So often we forget that the singers don’t always write the songs; there’s a lot of talent that stays behind the scenes. RIP Mr. Jennings.

I've never heard of him, nor his songs.   Rest in Peace stranger, Will Jennings.

I knew Will in Junior College.We both played trombone in a jazz band so he had a musical background, but I didn’t know he had any lyricist in him until I saw him win the Oscar for “Up Where We Belong”. That was a nice shock. News of his death is certainly a terrible shock.

He certainly made his life count. RIP
