      He's been doing it all since the Spencer Davis Group days when he was the ripe old age of 15 or so. I think he's my age, 75, with a very distinguished musical following. He music is part of the soundtrack to my life.

      Couldn't agree with you more, been a BRUMMIE, myself he's a humble man, and never looks for recognition, respected by all true musicians and possibly the most talented out of the bunch, JACK BRUCE, CLAPTON, GINGER BAKER, JEFF BECK, as the man was a fantastic piano player. ONLY MY OWN OPINION, 👍👍👍

I did however notice he tuned his guitar a full step down for that 'cause maybe his voice is a tiny bit lower 'cause of aging vocal chords or something...

    Steve Winwood is een van mijn muzikanten die ik bewonder omdat ze door allerlei drugs verleidingen in het zadel
    zijn gebleven, nu in deze tijd hun muzikale sporen hebben verdiend vooral omdat ze van de natuur konden genieten,
    kortom ze hebben veel uit de 60 en 70 jaren meegemaakt, maar zijn nooit ten onder gegaan omdat hun liefde voor
    de natuur hem en vele andere uit deze mooie tijdsperiode toch de overhand gaf om naar het ware terug te keren namelijk
    de natuur. De zwakke broeders in deze jaren kwamen er niet meer uit door hun gemis en achtergrond die ik absoluut
    niet veroordeel.

      A simple lyric, but Winwood's voice, still as astounding as 40 years ago, takes it to an immortal place. There's just never been a voice in rock to match this guy.

    God you can see, hear and feel the Clapton influence in those licks. Goosebumps. Overused yes, maybe but no less and definitely a genius. Blind Faith, Traffic, solo. 60’s, 70’sand 80’s. Literally the soundtrack of my life. Legend...

    Saw him with Traffic at Winterland in SF. I will never forget that concert, and I saw many there. It started in the dark, with random notes being played by the band. Then, somehow the notes gradually morphed into the beginning of Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Stevie had a way of playing that was so melodic. His notes were few, but put together so beautifully. You didn’t want the song to stop! We do not see talent like that today.

    • @jaycorby

      Michael Guidera - I've followed Steve W. my entire adult life from age 24 to now ( just turned 77 ). All of his work is superlative, and on top of that he seems like a very nice guy. Put him and Clapton on a stage together and it's like ice cream and cake - both are delicious, but it's hard to say which is better.
