I roadied for Steve in the Spencer Davis Group in the 60s. Met him in Denmark Street just off Charing Cross Road. First thing I noticed was his great Brummie accent. I was 16 and had been playing guitar and taking piano lessons since age 8. I learned a lot from Steve and the band. I went on to play Hammond B 3 and guitar in bands in London and still do. Great stuff and memories.
Stevie turned semipro at 14 when he joined the Spencer Davis Group in 1962, and by 16 had reached professional grade and was taking the world by storm. An authentic musical genius as vocalist, keyboardist, blew and rock guitarist, and songwriter. Everyone wanted to jam with him, as suggested by this clip.
Sometimes it's really nice to know I grew up in a generation with a whole Lotta good music and musicians. I used the bass open for my sound check tonight at practice.
Hello there, watched the Spencer Davis Group several times during the late '60s at gigs around Birmingham, Brilliant then and Steve Winwood is still brilliant today. Regards, RichardA.
I remember when I was just a 10 or 11 year old, when this song dominated the airwaves in Southern California. I was certain it was a black group at the time. I was later dumbstruck when I discovered they, The Spencer Davis Group, were white. Good music transcends color.
I saw him in Seattle, late 80s, early 90s. My brother had never heard of Winwood. Watching his jaw hit the floor was half the fun! When they started the bass line to this song, the curtain was up. When the B-3 started to scream, they DROPPED the curtain DOWN! "The crowd went wild!"
I played this song in a band. stand next to the Leslie Cabinet when the B 3 organ is wailing and you'll wet your pants!!! This song brings tears to my eyes! the back up singers are GREAT!!!!!!
Leslies were always a trade off. 147's sounded good but got drowned out by louder instruments. 925's were louder but not as sweet. A band we did sound for, Louisiana's La Roux put their 147 in an isolated room and sent the signal to a SVT head and cabinet on stage.
If I coulda heard this mix in 66, I mighta never drank or drugged.The hammond organ has haunted me ever since it brought me out from under the house playin with tonka trucks to a babysitters blastin radio sunbathin in the side yd. At 6 Im like, what the hells makin that grinding sound?...LOL. Carried a B3 all over the US , Canada , Mexico for 8 yrs straight 77- 85 .Miss it terribly....Thanks for this upload . Know where to come to get HIGH!
I love the people the older people I should say my age in my late sixties I've been listening to this my whole life but it's cool to see the people grooving and swaying to the music so cool long live rock and roll
I DID see the Concert last night, it was very good. Wish Winwood had played long & Intermission had been shorter. Both he & The Doobies rocked the place & it was a Full House too!
He's scheduled to play in NYC on Aug 7, I'm going to try to go at Madison Square Garden. Sharing the bill w/ the Doobie Brothers, can you imagine? It oughta be GREAT!
Si está música la habré bailado en los veranos con tipos hermosos decada del 67/68)69)70/!!!!! Los mejores recuerdos vividos 2🥹💜💜💜💜💜💜👏👏👏👏👏👏 6/9/24/!!!!!
Steve Winwood he's badass started at 17 years of age got with Spencer Davis Group then he was with traffic then he had his solo career Steve. Wynwood badass rocker😎👍✌🌎
He actually started with his dad and brother when he was prepubescent. Played piano and guitar in clubs and they had to hide him behind the piano so that people wouldn't complain that there were children in the band. This guy is the real deal, and so lacking in the ego department that it stuns me.

Everything Stevie W. touched turned to GOLD. Whether in the Spencer Davis group, in Traffic w Chris Wood, in Blind Faith. This IS THE dude, madudes!!
Absolutely agreed!
And then God gave us Steven winwood
💖💖💖
We’re ALL so glad you made it, Stevie.
Terrific musician with a classic voice..
When I first heard this in the 60's, I thought the SDG was a black band. Winwood would stay with me for decades.
Same here ❤

Yeah 🎉I was born in 1962 and enjoy that beautiful music.,..😅
The one and only super talented Steve Winwood from my home city and one of the best rock songs ever.
and the most under appreciated, he is the best!
Agreed 💯
Those rythmm singers served him well over the years..
Wasn’t he like 15 when he recorded this with Spencer Davis?
I think he had just turned 16!
Stevie and a Hammond B3 go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Back when people actually had talent.
true, 100%
Thanks for posting. Made my day!! Peace & Love.
One of the best songs ever❤

Masterpiece
Steve Winwood, what a brilliant musician. An all time musical genius
.
There's a word for that kind of singing and playing.........Soulful!
Music for the ages, it never gets old, fabulous performance and musicianship!! Thank you for posting this gem!!
He not only is a great musician but is a brilliant song writer! A true music pro!!
Awesome old school music!!
I could listen to the bass line all day long.
I love all this song from Spencer Davis Group 🎙🎶🎸❤️
The Mount Rushmore of Blistering 'Stomp Rock ' Blues 💙 by the one and only Steve Winwood!😎🤗👍🙏
In music I'm no fan of anyone, but I have to admit that Mr Winwood is unsurpassed
Steve is a musical genius.
One for my playlist

Awesome memories his voice was the back drop of my young life at 15 yrs of age. Still love his voice talent and voice.
He was a young teenager age 15 or so with the Spencer Davis Group. 60 odd years in the business and still sounds good and looks very healthy
One of the greatest musicians that this country has produced!

Un Génie musical du 20ème siècle. Une musique fantastique qu'il est de plus en plus difficile de découvrir de nos jours.

One of the best voices ever 💯😂
this should have 1 billion views
THE SONG IS LATE 60'S. EARLY 70'S. IT STILL ROCKS MY SOUL!
The song is 1960s. Other people covered it into the 70s
@@enduringnomad8385 January 1967
Wow. Love it.
winwood's high voice is still so clear, man...
Michael Donovan It's amazing how well his voice has held up all these years. He must have been pushing about 50 here.
saw him open for Petty in 2014,hee was great. Is this organ the original organ fro the SDG? It looks so old.

Fantastic performance. And love the great backup singers too.

He quite the Spencer Davis Group when he was 17
13 when he wrote it. 15 recorded it with SDG... left the band at 17
He was 15 when he wrote the lyrics
Hell yeah 💯💯💯
That big old B3 is killer from the first note.
Someone is clearly having a good time on stage!
Happy Birthday Steve
With The Staple Singers WOW
