About the Album
Roll with It is the fifth solo studio album by English blue-eyed soul artist Steve Winwood, released on 20 June 1988. It became Winwood’s most commercially successful album, reaching number four on the UK Albums Chart and number one on the US Billboard 200, and has sold over three million copies.
The title track topped the pop and rock singles charts; its success led to the subsequent singles “Don’t You Know What the Night Can Do?” and “Holding On”. “Don’t You Know What the Night Can Do?” had been written by Winwood to be featured in an ad campaign for Michelob, which began running on American television on the day of the Roll with It album’s US release. Two other tracks from Roll with It: “Hearts on Fire” and “Put on Your Dancing Shoes”, also achieved radio airplay.
