    Traffic were an English rock band who formed in 1967. They began as a psychedelic rock group & used keyboards, like the Mellotron & harpsichord, sitar, & various reed instruments. Traffic's singer, keyboardist & guitarist Steve Winwood was the lead singer for the Spencer Davis Group when he was only 14 & he was also in Blind Faith. Some of Traffic's early hits were "Paper Sun", "Hole In My Shoe", "Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush", "Dear Mr. Fantasy", "Feelin' Alright" etc.

    Traffic was an incredibly diverse band, stylistically.
    Tons of soul, and creativity.
    Other excellent songs by them:
    Low Spark of High Heel Boys
    Light Up or Leave Me Alone
    Freedom Riders

    Steve Winwood, the lead singer, song writer etc..is a musical prodigy since he was a child, just a musical genius with a one of a kind voice. And to make hits so early and then to again have huge hits in the 80s...iconic.

    Stevie Winwood - wow!! Part of The Spencer Davies Group aged 14, went on to Traffic. While still a menber of Traffic played organ in Voodoo Chile at Hendrix's request, formed Blind Faith with Clapton and Baker then had a successful solo career. Amazing all round musician and my second favourite uk vocalist.

    Hell, yeah.
    From Blind Faith, 'Presence of the Lord', 'Pearly Queen', a fave of mine, esp. Clapton's Rainbow Concert version.
    Solo, 'Higher Love', 'Arc of a Diver', 'If You See A Chance', etc. etc., can't go wrong. D
