    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.

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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

  • @denisemeredith2436
    @denisemeredith2436 4 роки тому +4

    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.
