NO actual Video, this was Long Long ago, before ti was Easy to post Music Videos on the Internet.
So look at the equipment and how old and poor the sound track is and he still sounds awesome ! Pure raw talent. Spencer Davis group were the original writers and preformers.
Hello Jamel, got this T-Shirt some days ago, good quality, love you reactions, brings great memories of my youth, love & peace to you, your family and all the good folks here around, "Jogi" from Germany
More Stevie. Lots of Stevie. He has SO much to listen to. Thanks, my friend. Here's one for you... Nothing like live Winwood, but this one ends with a great jam too: ruclips.net/video/3fGFDCgnLVY/видео.html Full concert here: ruclips.net/video/aN-Q8QAivZ8/видео.html Peace to all. Let the music play!
Spencer Davis passed away today at 3pm. Ive been honored to be friends with him for about 35 years. Ive played and recorded with him on several occasions. Stevie was 14 when the Spencer Davis Group would play out at bars. Stevie would have to leave the bar between sets. Very cool presentation. Keep up the great vibes
In 1967 I saw the Spencer Davis Group perform doing this song at Murray The K Rock Show in NYC along with Cream, The Who, Wilson Pickett, Blues Project, Vagrants, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles all showcasing a few tunes each in the day. Steve Winwood was just a teen that then
Steve’s father and older brother were both musicians, and he started playing at clubs with them from age eight. Stevie was also a choirboy. By his early teens he was an in demand Hammond organ player in the Birmingham music scene. He along with his brother Muff, was a founding member of the Spencer Davis Group at age 14. They only named the group after Spencer because he was the most outgoing and willing to talk and be interviewed.
Yes, that's the real Stevie, wailing away on that organ! This song was the one that introduced most of us to his voice in 1967. I saw him with Traffic in Central Park in the early 70's, and I have followed his music throughout the decades. Believe or not, he actually got better with time! His work in the 80s and 90s was some of his best! Thank you for this!
He was “Stevie” Winwood then, only about 19 in this video. This song was a hit in 1967, he was born in 1948. I enjoy the live videos just like you do, Jamal. Keep ‘em comin! As always, thanks for the music, memories and smiles.
As a teen he sound mature, soulful, and now in his 70's he sounds youthful and vital. The man is ageless, timeless. I want him as my uncle too, cousin.
As impressive as Steve's was in his teens, he's now 72 and has taken great care of his voice and has the same quality now. A true professional and a legend. I'm thrilled you're exploring his work, Jamel. Keep it up, my friend!
They preceded Chicago, and it was my very first live concert when I saw them play up here in Winnipeg in 1968. Incredible live band and a life long memory.
Steve Winwood wrote this song. It was recorded in 1967 when he was I9. Chicago covered this song on their debut album which was a huge hit. "Little Stevie's" influences were the big blues singers of the time. Steve's father was a professional musician & he started playing with him in pubs when he was just eight. As a school kid, he played the organ & guitar for some of the greatest American blues artists of the time when they went on tour in the U.K. He played with B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddly, John Lee Hooker +more. He also played with the legendary rock and roller Chuck Berry. Pretty amazing feat for a school age kid. Probably no other artist out there that has this resume. If you want to see a "real" video of your imagined NewOrleans jazz club take a look at the Official Video of Roll With It. His coolest video - with dancers!
Spencer Davis Group did it first, and the keyboardist/singer, Steve Winwood, wrote it with their manager Jimmy Miller. Chicago's version was the cover. They named the group after Spencer Davis because none of the others wanted to be questioned by the media!
Jimi Hendrix was nervous to ask Steve to play with him...he would say “he’s so talented”...they finally did work together on the slow version of voodoo chile
My favorite Hendrix album "Electric Ladyland" Winwood did all the keyboards. Full version of "Voodoo Child" One of the greatest blues/ rock jams ever recorded.
Basically in my Opinion , the Jam of all Jams!! The dueling between Jimis guitar and Steves keyboards!!Unbelievable!! With Jack Cassidy from the' Airplane' on bass!!! An Alltime Favourite!! Can still feel the Acid kicking in!! every time I hear it!! X
Spencer Davis just recently passed. The young man on the organ is the the incredible Steve Winwood. He joined this band at the age of 14!! He has the most unique voice ever, full of soul. I love all of their music. He can sure play the organ -- love the guitars at the first. This was when music was good, no synthesizing, just straight up talent.
Just your reaction by itself pays a major compliment to stevie Winwood and this particular jam. A little bit of history on this song. Stevie Winwood with the David Spencer group recorded this version first. Then others followed like Chicago and there's also a disco version that was very very popular back when disco was the thing in NYC. But Stevie Winwood is indeed a timeless classic. Even till today, this jam still hits the spot. I've heard an extended version that the putting it together, did it justice. Keep the music coming. I'm also a big fan of your channel.
In 1968 Stevie Winwood was invited by Jimi Hendrix to play organ on his double album, “Electric Ladyland”. Stevie played on the 16 minute, “Voodoo Chile” track, which was basically a never rehearsed, one-take, Jam Session. His iconic work on that song was praised by Jimi’s renowned recording engineer, Eddie Kramer.
Hitting “LIKE” already before I even watch it!!! Sooo glad you’re giving Steve Winwood his due. Listen to this young brother’s Soul!! Thanks, Jamel, you Get IT!!
Saw him supporting Steely Dan recently. Still got the voice, just fabulous, he played keyboards and sang Pretzel Logic with the Dan... like being in heaven!
An English teenager from Birmingham,England ,sounding like a jazz singer from the 1950's or earlier,is almost unbelievable. And this is real,folks,no recorded oerdubs or anything like that.Beautiful.
The first song I ever heard Stevie Winwood sing was "Gimme Some Lovin'" as a little girl in the 70s. Must have been on an oldies station. Try that one, Jamel. It's great! I wish sometimes that I'd've been a session singer in the 60s, because I'd've gotten myself to London at the soonest opportunity in 1964. _::sigh::_
I was a kid in sixties London and we didn’t realise how special the times were! So much great, innovative music going back and forth between the US and the UK, it was when I first heard Motown and we sent you the British Invasion. How lucky were we?!🇬🇧🇺🇸🥂
A true brit...He lives in an old manor house near an area called turkdean, in the cotswolds uk, and owns a lot of land surrounding the manor house....A very very posh area of the countryside the cotswolds are..In my opinion he's in my top 3 best singers to come out of the uk..Period...Love the channel brother.🇬🇧💖🙏
I've seen a video or 2 of them doing this live - but never saw this one. I still remember the day I first heard this song back on January 1967 - one of my all time favorites and Winwood can wail! And yes, he wrote the song and Jimmy Miller produced it. Winwood is from England - born in Handsworth. Thanks for posting it.
He is so good. Got to photograph him 7 years ago when he played my town in England. He sounded amazing, although looked 'slightly' older. He's a man, yes he is, still very much has it 😏
Very young steve winwood showing his appreciation and love for American blues soul and jazz and absolutely nailing it, blue eye uk soul at its best in the 60s.
Steve Winwood was 15 years old when he recorded “I’m A Man.” His father had a band and he filled in playing professionally with him when he was only ten or eleven.
You also need to do Traffic. Start with “Dear Mr fantasy” not only was that when winwood was on top of his game, but in the most viewed live version of that song he was on the moon lol those pupils don’t lie 😂
And to think he was only 15 years old when did this song, just a teenager but he damn sure sang it like a man, there’s a cool video of him doing an amazing unplugged version of Can’t Find My Way Home, it’s just him sitting in a chair with his acoustic guitar beside a fireplace keeping warm at his home and just killing it on that song, well worth watching
Thats a British teenager making music good enough to make the Gods groove !! Steve Windwood has more musical talent and credibility in his little finger than 99.9999% of chart acts these days will ever have in their entire 'career'...
Thank you for sharing this master work with a new generation - I know they will love and appreciate it!!!! (It's quite possible that by introducing this to them that music just may turn in a different direction!!!!)
This song was also done by a band called Chicago. They have some great songs as well EDIT: I just found out he already reacted to that version. Either way Chicago is still awesome.
He did it by Chicago already. I think Chicago was the better version. Actually, Chicago Transit Authority, and that album is the greatest rock album ever made.
Who says a white scrawny, working class kid from 1960's Birmingham can't sing? A total classic, and your reaction says it all, it literally makes my hairs on my arms stand up everytime I hear this song. All the best, and thanks for posting. Nick
Steve Winwood, the most under sold blue eyed soul artist EVA. It was in his bones, you know. Like myself, he felt it, and was unafraid to express it. DAMN. Rock on.
The Spencer Davis Group did it first because it was written by him and Jimmy Miller. Steve is a multi instrumentalist and here he is playing a Hammond organ - synths didnt appear really until the 1970s.. This is from 1967, his brother Muff Winwood is a music producer. Steve Winwood is from Birmingham UK - we had a huge R&B scene during the 1960's/70's. So many great bands started in Birmingham and you have reacted to some already. This is what I grew up in and around because my parents managed a band and my dad had a car repair business and repaired cars belonging to Led Zeppelin, Slade etc. Looking back it seems surreal but at the time I didnt make the connection between the people sitting our couch and pushing me on my swing in the garden with their music that I heard on the radio.
Steve Winwood: Simply cannot say enough superlatives regarding this man, his voice and his music! Steve Winwood is all that! So glad that you're digging deeper into this artist's catalog.
Have to check out (Traffic -"The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys" Woodstock 94), and ("Dear Mr Fantasy" Steve Winwood & Eric Clapton HQ Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010).
I write this every time you do a video of Stevie singing. EVERYONE in the business respects him. Everyone. No one has a bad word to say about him. Not only is he a once in a lifetime talent, he's just a superb dude as well.
Steve Windwood and Jimmy Miller wrote this song in 1967 - Chicago’s version dropped in 1971, I believe? He’s from Birmingham in England, a city that produced Black Sabbath, The Moody Blues, Duran Duran, Traffic, Electric Light Orchestra, Fine Young Cannibals, Dexys Midnight Runners, Judas Priest, UB40, and half of Led Zeppelin to name a few I can remember. I understand thy had to sneak Steve Windwood into pubs at the age of 14 as he was too young to be there.
I’m a 59 yr old Michigan/Country/Blues/Pop/Rock’n Keyboardist and I recon I’ve never heard that Steve Winwood was the writer of “ I’m a Man”...AWESOME! 🤠

One of Swansea's finest ❤ Proper Jack bastard he be 🦢💪
Young Stevie W was blessed with some weird genes that belied his upbringing 🤣

You now need "Spencer Davis" doing "Gimme Some Lovin'"
That's their ultimate 👍
I'm comin' in Harry
You can't
Why not?
Well.... we're having ice cream
ICE CREAM?!?!
Yes. Here is the link

I'm not sure, but I think he's 17 when he recorded this! :)
Outstanding, thank you!
@@wiz601 The Finnish TV show was recorded on March 19 1967, a few weeks before his 19th birthday.
I was in a band when I was 14. We played at the local skating rink. LOL
@@wiz601 - He JOINED the Spencer Davis Group at age 14. He may have been 17 when this song was recorded. So gotham is correct.
Steve Winwood has a soulful voice. No fake crap just talent.

That’s not a B3.. thinking maybe a Lowery?
@@ldeanmason1788 Thanks for the correction. You're right!
He was “Stevie” Winwood then, only about 19 in this video.
This song was a hit in 1967, he was born in 1948.
I enjoy the live videos just like you do, Jamal.
Keep ‘em comin!
As always, thanks for the music, memories and smiles.
A beautiful spirit for sho. A wonderful host and explainer and mighty observational skills
Love this so much.Keep doing what you do,I love it!
18 but I heard 17 ... my brothers covered this regularly at the high school Friday post game dance 💃🏼
As a teen he sound mature, soulful, and now in his 70's he sounds youthful and vital. The man is ageless, timeless. I want him as my uncle too, cousin.
Women's singing Voices typically lower & deepen with age...and Men's Voices typically get Higher and Lighter.
As impressive as Steve's was in his teens, he's now 72 and has taken great care of his voice and has the same quality now. A true professional and a legend. I'm thrilled you're exploring his work, Jamel. Keep it up, my friend!
I was lucky enough to see him live about 5 years ago at Fairports cropready festival. Still brilliant l
His voice seemingly never changed...lol. From the Spencer Davis Group to Traffic, Blind Faith and Solo success, always Stevie Winwood !! Unique voice.
They preceded Chicago, and it was my very first live concert when I saw them play up here in Winnipeg in 1968. Incredible live band and a life long memory.

With Jack Cassidy from the' Airplane' on bass!!!

I WOULD DIE SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT SHOW OMG.
I Have seen steely dan 3 times but to also see Steve Winwood?! What a night...

I was a kipper in the 70s too. We might be close in age. You single?
I was a kid in sixties London and we didn’t realise how special the times were! So much great, innovative music going back and forth between the US and the UK, it was when I first heard Motown and we sent you the British Invasion.
How lucky were we?!🇬🇧🇺🇸🥂
THAT VOICE!!! ❤️❤️❤️ He so young to have that kind of voice too!
Jamel, we had the organs in a lot of bands back then, as well as the harmonica! So blessed!
You are onto my man, Steve Winwood! Keep listening and enjoying Winwood’s talent! A maestro for sure! 🎼🎹💟
I'm a Man is the ONLY tune that Chicago ever covered! Everything else they recorded was their own originals.
Chicago cover of this song is incredible!
Definitely worth a reaction too.
Have to point out that Winwood WROTE this song!
@@loosilu yes he did! At age 16!
The best cover of this song! Spencer Davis band was first.
He was quite the musical prodigy!! Vocals were great from a young age.
Stevie Winwood was a gift from God
A true brit...He lives in an old manor house near an area called turkdean, in the cotswolds uk, and owns a lot of land surrounding the manor house....A very very posh area of the countryside the cotswolds are..In my opinion he's in my top 3 best singers to come out of the uk..Period...Love the channel brother.🇬🇧💖🙏
Turkdean is featured in one of my favorite Time Team episodes!
a young man repeating what I also commented when I was 14 in 1967, about this song! Still remains my second fav side of all time!
So much talent in the UK in the 60's.
Love that cold mean organ.. Thanks for posting this... a classic
What a great song. Haha. Blue-eyed soul.
I've seen a video or 2 of them doing this live - but never saw this one. I still remember the day I first heard this song back on January 1967 - one of my all time favorites and Winwood can wail! And yes, he wrote the song and Jimmy Miller produced it. Winwood is from England - born in Handsworth. Thanks for posting it.

We need to calm down, please Lady LC....
@@Isleofskye 😂😂😂
You can't go wrong wit spencer davis!😎
That bass is the definition of the word "groovy".
That is Steve's older brother Muff Winwood on bass.
Played with a thumb pick no less!
Very young steve winwood showing his appreciation and love for American blues soul and jazz and absolutely nailing it, blue eye uk soul at its best in the 60s.
Steve Winwood was 15 years old when he recorded “I’m A Man.” His father had a band and he filled in playing professionally with him when he was only ten or eleven.
He was 19. A Brummie. From Kingstanding. My friend was in school with him. 15. Yeah really
Brilliant,18 years of age singing like that pure class
You need to hear him sing "Keep on Running" with the Spencer Davis Group
I was expecting this to be one of his best reactions and it was !
You also need to do Traffic. Start with “Dear Mr fantasy” not only was that when winwood was on top of his game, but in the most viewed live version of that song he was on the moon lol those pupils don’t lie 😂
What a great version, though!
The version he did with Clapton in 2007 Crossroads festival is excellent.
Seconded!!
Yes yes yes!
@ You got that right
"Dear Mr Fantasy" live at Santa Monica 1972 sure show's how great Steve is on the guitar too.
His group is the one who sang this way back. I'm 64 & remember this. Great song.
He was such a young, genius-level musician...
You found the sweet spot my man! Spencer Davis Group is fabulous! Listen to more! Gimme Some Lovin'... classic
Oh man, his voice is cracking! He was so young, so talented.
Still getting the Goosebumps every time I hear this music!!..
Dear Mr fantasy - Traffic come-on jamel do this one
Have requested and hoping for as well. 🎶💙🥰
I've asked on 3 videos so far. Can we brigade request? Jk. Sort of.
Agree wholeheartedly with this one too!!
I know its not that popular but the Big Sugar cover makes me happy to know it exists.
Piling on to this one!
YASSS! That VOICE is Steve Winwood...you should definitely check out more of his stuff...especially Blind Faith and Traffic.
And to think he was only 15 years old when did this song, just a teenager but he damn sure sang it like a man, there’s a cool video of him doing an amazing unplugged version of Can’t Find My Way Home, it’s just him sitting in a chair with his acoustic guitar beside a fireplace keeping warm at his home and just killing it on that song, well worth watching
I love that video ❤️
Pretty sure 18
Love this song !! ❤️❤️Spencer Davis
Thats a British teenager making music good enough to make the Gods groove !!
Steve Windwood has more musical talent and credibility in his little finger than 99.9999% of chart acts these days will ever have in their entire 'career'...
I love, love LOVE this song, I was born in the tail end of the 60s and listen to this particular decade.
"I'm a Man" is a song written by the Spencer Davis Group singer-songwriter Steve Winwood and record producer Jimmy Miller.
I truly enjoy sharing your first listen to music I have cherished all my life... over forty years plus....keep on keeping on!
I would like to recommend you listen to their cover of "Georgia". But a must from Steve is "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" !!! TY for you time.
Low spark my fav traffic album
THIS IS THE ONE! Thanks for doing this version. My fave. What talent.
"Low spark of high heeled boys" live
I second and third this request!!
uncut long version
Heeey.... I got ONE woman telling me what I need already. ... but. ..yeah that's cool too..
One of my favorite songs
Thank you for sharing this master work with a new generation - I know they will love and appreciate it!!!! (It's quite possible that by introducing this to them that music just may turn in a different direction!!!!)
Also, if you have a chance, check out Rick Beato - he can explain "why" you love this music so much!!!! Worth watching...
I’m here to see you react to the young Stevie!
The lad wrote this song
Such a pleasure being witness to you discovering music and musicians I grew up with. Amazing!
This song was also done by a band called Chicago. They have some great songs as well
EDIT: I just found out he already reacted to that version. Either way Chicago is still awesome.
He did it by Chicago already. I think Chicago was the better version. Actually, Chicago Transit Authority, and that album is the greatest rock album ever made.
Live at Tanglewood was one the baddest things I've ever seen. Terry Kath and Rory Gallagher at my two biggest guitar playing influences.
Chicago (TA) covered it well ... but Winwood (the keyboards and vocals here) co-wrote it.
@@mgordon1100 Oh thanks, I didnt realize that.

Ah I love it! I named my middle son Spencer Davis but only partially due to this group. The song Gimmie some Lovin please do that also 🙏✌️

Can't get enough of Winwood's wonders! 😷👍🎸🎶
Spencer Davis Group did it before Chicago. Winwood co-wrote it.
I write this every time you do a video of Stevie singing. EVERYONE in the business respects him. Everyone. No one has a bad word to say about him. Not only is he a once in a lifetime talent, he's just a superb dude as well.
Yes! Chicago did do " I'm a Man", and Spenser Davis was the originator.
One of my absolute favorite vocal deliveries of any song. Ever. So smooth and rhythmic
Supposedly, Eric Clapton heard Steve Winwood sing, “Georgia On My Mind,” and it brought him to tears.
Steve Windwood and Jimmy Miller wrote this song in 1967 - Chicago’s version dropped in 1971, I believe? He’s from Birmingham in England, a city that produced Black Sabbath, The Moody Blues, Duran Duran, Traffic, Electric Light Orchestra, Fine Young Cannibals, Dexys Midnight Runners, Judas Priest, UB40, and half of Led Zeppelin to name a few I can remember. I understand thy had to sneak Steve Windwood into pubs at the age of 14 as he was too young to be there.
He was 16 when this was recorded.
No, he was born in May 1948 and recorded this in January '67 and Gimme Some Lovin' in September 1966. So he was 18

Lol @ "whatever."
Don't make false claims on the internet and expect it not to be called out.
@@michaelsexton70 not a false claim, my memory slipped. All you trolls just get over yourselves. Wow!
@@robertheckman8013 correcting your mistake isn't trolling but sure, cry about it lol
Spencer Davis did it first in the 60's!!!!!! Gimmie Some Lovin is my favorite!!!!!!! It was my party song!
Me: (scrolling RUclips aimlessly)

Jamel you're like family in my house man!
Would love to see a react video to John Prines song/video Summers End. You'll love it.
I’m a 59 yr old Michigan/Country/Blues/Pop/Rock’n Keyboardist and I recon I’ve never heard that Steve Winwood was the writer of “ I’m a Man”...AWESOME! 🤠
I was lucky enough to see him with Tom Petty at an outdoor concert
Here in Palm Beach, FL
Such a talented young man. Stevie Winwood rocks the organ!!
You're on a roll today.
Just got word Spencer Davis has left us. RIP and Thank you for the music and being part of the Soundtrack of my life.
STEVIE WINWOOD WAS 15/16 WHEN THIS WAS RECORDED! WHAT A VOICE!
I love your videos - pure joy for the music. Many thanks
“we ain’t gonna waste no more time”
Yes he was 15 when he wrote.. I'm A Man...Gimme Some Lovin and Keep on Running...Amazing talent. Simply amazing!!!
The two most common reactions upon hearing this era of Steve Winwood are, "He's white?" and "He's 17 or 18 years old?"
Definitely Dear Mr. Fantasy. It will blow you away!!
Steve wrote this with Jimmy Miller who later went on to produce some of Steve’s early Traffic output and then The Rolling Stones
Steve Winwood...a musical genius. He was only 15 when he wrote and performed this song with the Spencer Davis Group...unbelievable...
