DAYUM ! We danced to this in 1967 when he was Stevie Winwood and everyone thought he was black. The man hasn't lost a step or a note. In fact, he's better than ever. Rock On Stevie
Took me by surprise, too. I first heard this song in the movie "Iron Eagle" and until the late 2000s I assumed it was a black vocalist doing the singing. This man has pipes of solid gold.
Wow this was playing & I didn’t even realize that it was a recent recording. He still sounds the same! So glad he’s still around to grace us with his beautiful voice.
you still got it Steve, if i didn't see this video i wouldn't have noticed a difference between your younger yr voice and now... Keep rocking that's what keeps us young..
Funny thing is, we will still be listening to guys like this, Clapton, McCartney, SRV, Etc 50 more years from now. That Kanye guy....not so much. Lady GaGa who?
The fools giving this a thumbs down should be strapped inside of a Leslie speaker while Stevie wails on his Hammond. FULL blast volume. This man is a true legend. Learn what respect is. Today’s phony computer generated music with the crap lyrics will be long forgotten while this will live on forever. Come back in 50 years and tell me I’m wrong.
I'm used to seeing pandemic-era cover collaborations like this on RUclips. But I looked carefully and said to myself: This guy really looks like Steve Winwood, and then . . .
I remember when this song came out in the mid 1960's. Couldn't believe a kid that young, (Winwood), could have a soulful voice that great. Saw Stevie several times with Traffic. Always loved him. Still do!
@Paddy Orourke I saw him in Vegas about 6 years ago. He was kicking bass with his left foot. I'm a huge fan of his. Great voice. A great talent. (Just my opinion.)
@@ryancang3627 oh yeah. I was in my teens when I first heard Stevie singing and playing the Hammond Organ with The Spenser Davis Group as a teenager. I'm a Man, another great song. Same group. 1 year later. Stevie Rocks!
@@grumpybumme3289 Eric Clapton, who played with Winwood in Blind Faith, said Stevie was a really good guitarist. Winwood main axe was keyboards. And what a voice!
There is NO WAY I could possibly love this any more than I do! It put a big ol' smile on my face in the 70's and it still puts one on my face in 2023!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw Spencer Davis Group in Chislehurst Caves in late 60s. A really good venue..Lots of bands played there, Animals, Kinks, Pretty Things, Herd, Yardbirds etc.. Such good memories.
Hey Steve, its Bob, your truck captain on the High Life US tour. I still relish crew meals with you and your wonderful wife. I ran into Dolette several years back but have missed a lot of music after retiring to Thailand. My absolute best to you!
RIP the great Spencer Davis who co-wrote this. Sad day. This is such a great version (Steve's voice is great after all this time) and proof that great songs never age
I'm right there with you! I will be 74 this year and I can remember when this song came out on a 45 record. I started in a garage band at the same time and this song still propels me forward in energy while sending me back in my "Way Back Machine". Thank you, "Stevie" - as you were known back then.
There's a yt of Spencer Davis Group live in Finland from 67 or so. The kid is 19 and sings Georgia like the bluesiest Black guy you ever heard. It's amazing.
Steve Winwood's singing, song writing, multi instrumentalist is to me by far one of the greatest, rock, blues, pop, artist of all artists. HIS VOICE IS SO DISTINCTIVE and everlasting from 1965 till present. WOW. way to Steve
Mr Fantasy hasn't lost a step over the many decades. All I can say is thank you Steve. Your music has been in my playlist nearly all my life and for that I am truly grateful.
Steve is like a fine wine- just improves with age :) God bless Steve for all you do to heal the world through music as therapy for healing our soul ...and plain old enjoying as well
Everybody knows the secret, in the presence and color of the Lord. Then 40 years later the book came out. They always knew, make love, not war, and make music and dance. God I wish he was twenty again.
I spent my teenage early years sneaking into dance halls and heard this joyous, rocking song played and I would dance my tootsies off to it! Still as hot as it was back in the mid sixties!
Love this! Thank you...Steve amazing singer songwriter...i love the dog casually hanging out like yup live music by a star = my normal household ... Too cute
![B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone [Crossroads 2010] (Official Live Video)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SgXSomPE_FY/mqdefault.jpg)
Amazing how many decades he's been performing this song and he never fails to deliver.
It's crazy that he was just 17 when this song became a hit.
and I was 13 and ... French !! I begged for some cash to go get the EP which I still have !!
Winwood still as hot as when I was a teen! Not many mature artists left who are unafraid to do their old tunes.
Damn. This guy has been a rock star for 56 years and he's 72 years old, and he still gets down cooler than 99% of 20 year olds.
Jeff Beck is the same @ 75 he cranks.
99.9%
110%
✌❤🎹🎶👍
Right On ;)
Soul survivor 😎 Stevie Winwood.
Keep on Running ✊
Better than ever, Steve is like Fine Wine!!
Steve's voice hasn't dimmed with age. One of the greatest rock voices ever, not to mention his song writing talent
Not's the age is a problem. The talent neve will die.
So Thrilled I had a Chance to See hi a couple of times!!!,!,, Brilliant!!!,,!,,
From the Spencer Davis Group to this - Wow! His voice sounds as good at 72 as it did at 17.
I listened to the whole thing because it is good. He is still great.
Yes it does not seem to have diminished, bloody marvellous
Steve always always outstanding!!
DAYUM ! We danced to this in 1967 when he was Stevie Winwood and everyone thought he was black. The man hasn't lost a step or a note. In fact, he's better than ever. Rock On Stevie

Terrific the master Steve Winwood.
Don't know what's more remarkable; Being able to sing like that at 72 or being able to sing like that at 18.
Both would be remarkable ! 😁
@@b.murenthaler, he is that.
Astonishing talent. He could sing like that at 15… Check out this:

Good point
That iconic voice .....!
Righteous rock. They will be playing this tune in another 50 years.
Are you freakin' kidding me???? He can still do this ????? HE IS A GOD!!!!!!
That voice is unmistakable and remarkable in clarity despite his age. Even Sinatra's voice changed with age, Winwood's explodes with brightness.
Great musician great song great pad
Yes - still sounds good, but this is a half-step lower than the original SDG version from 1966.
The best
Love the dog
Yes he does.
Steve Winwood has one of the best voices in history.
Passa il tempo ... !!! la musica della nostra generazione
Wow this was playing & I didn’t even realize that it was a recent recording. He still sounds the same! So glad he’s still around to grace us with his beautiful voice.
you still got it Steve, if i didn't see this video i wouldn't have noticed a difference between your younger yr voice and now... Keep rocking that's what keeps us young..
Children, this is how it's done. Listen to the music, read the life story and enter a larger world. You are watching a musical genius.
And thats the truth ☘️👍
Sure thing Dad.
Funny thing is, we will still be listening to guys like this, Clapton, McCartney, SRV, Etc 50 more years from now. That Kanye guy....not so much. Lady GaGa who?
Jack f. Something you will never know. Go play with you xbox. No one cares what you think,especially me.😉
i’m 13. hell yeah!!!!!
He gets better and better .... this sounds sooooooogreat!
In Chicago in the 1960's my older sister had this 45. I played it. It blew me away then as it does now. Rock on in Jesus!
God has blessed and keep on blessing you and all you love precious Steve Winwood.
this song is around for 54 years and i still get the chills just like i heard it for first time stay safe and healthy mr windwood
Exact words ı felt like as soon as he started singing. I am copying your comment word for word and put it as my comment. :)))
1965
Still sounds great
What happened to great music like this?
Love this guy's music.
Jeezus..he's still kicking it..so damn good..

Classic!
This song just makes me happy! How can it not raise anyones spirits! You’re amazing Steve!!!!
1966 the year I was born. I love this song, unique.
After watching all of the war reports for two hours, Steve...you gave me what I need to move on today. Thank you, friend.
Steve has the same voice he had when he was 14 hasn't change
I first remember hearing Steve Winwood in 1967 or 1968 I guess both of us are getting old and Steve is still kicking ass!
I'm right there with you! I will be 74 this year and I can remember when this song came out on a 45 record. I started in a garage band at the same time and this song still propels me forward in energy while sending me back in my "Way Back Machine".
Thank you, "Stevie" - as you were known back then.
Steve after all these years that you still know how to ROCK my friend.....
This sounds just like that kid with The Spencer Davis Group... 😜😀 And who’s the nimrod who gave this a thumbs down?
I dunnobut get the adress , I'll help yah!
Nimrod idiot! Yah, you're right ! Let's hope it was dyslexia and not a thumbs down! I'd like to think someTHING is still good and true.
Are you making a joke? It IS the "young white boy with the old black voice."
Those aren’t thumbs down, they are actually thumbs up their own asses.
I gonna guess the dog. Looked unimpressed it was missing out on cuddle time
Why hasn't he been knighted?
One of the very finest English musicians of all time
I fell in love with him 💙 in the sixties. He was great then and still is. He once said he would retire at the age of thirty. Thank God he didn't!!!
We all thought 30 was old back then lol
I love this music and dog
I love Steve Winwood. He’s one of my favourite artists - very talented songwriter, sInger and musician. He still posesses a great soulful voice.
There's a yt of Spencer Davis Group live in Finland from 67 or so. The kid is 19 and sings Georgia like the bluesiest Black guy you ever heard. It's amazing.
Amazing Steve!
The Prince of Rock passing the test of Time . Long Live Steve Winwood!!
Mr Wnwood has a very cool livong room!
Steve is in his 70s and is in his seventh decade of doing this! His voice and playing remain treasures that I cherish more each year!
STEVE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
"Don't look around to find the sound that's right beneath your feet"
You're a living legend, enjoy
I like that. Where's that quote from?
@@smilingamerican3 Traffic - Utterly Simple

Steve Winwood is a gifted and humble multi-instrumental musician. His music is so good. I saw him twice live, when he was opening up for Tom Petty.
Dwayne Wladyka :)
@@WinwoodCompletist Hello Berkin! 👋✌️
Thanks for Tour music, thanks for tour life, thank for the man I'm with yTour music

Steve ,
With the passing on Spencer Davis , this hits even a bit closer to home for me sir' !
Thank's Steve !
`LIKED' !!!
If nothing else: the pandemic has made at-home music better than anything we could have seen live back in the 1960s-70s-80s!!!
Well yes, but helps to have great tech to back one up :)
Awesome COVID jam
💕 love me some Steve Winwood!!! Sounds pretty awesome 😎 !!!!💕💕💕
Thanks again Mr. Winwood.
Stevie Winwood, a classic legend in his own right..............love this guy!!
"I'm so glad he made it'" and that he sounds just as good at 72 as he did at 14 as a member of the Spencer Davis Group. We love you, Steve!
Pretty sure he's only 70. Same age as me. i've been wrong before.
@@cherylczekala4558 No he’s 72 yrs old. Still kicking ass
You still got it, Steve! I remember this fondly from 1967.
This guy is a total legend. So glad he's still with us, many of his peers aren't.
