The singer and keyboardist, Steve Winwood, was 14 when he joined the band. He had already been playing bars with his father and older brother where they turned the piano and made him play with his back to the crowd because he was so underage! He had also already backed people like BB King, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddly on their tours in England.
He went on to play in the group Traffic, formed the group Blind Faith with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker, and played in the group Ginger Baker's Air Force. He and his brother Muff wrote this song and it was released in 1966, when he was 18 years old.
yes you said it all he is sooo great Mr Steve Winwood
Steve Winwood is one of the essential superstars of the past 60 years. Monster vocals, monster keyboards, monster songwriter, fantastic guitarist - everybody, EVERYBODY wanted to play with him. It's his organ on Jimi Hendrix' "Voodoo Child" from Electric Ladyland. Clapton joined with him for Blind Faith - you must hear "Can't Find My Way Home". And one of the nicest superstars of all time. World famous in his mid-teens, still strong today. Just fabulous.
Steve's a legend
The guy singing and playing keyboard is none other than Steve Winwood, who was 19 at the time of this video in 1967. He had several solo hits in the '80s. Remarkable talent. "Gimme Some Lovin'" by the Spencer Davis Group was one of the true landmark rock 'n roll songs to come out of the '60s. Just incredible.
Shawn & Mel, you'll love their "I'm a Man"!! Steve Winwood on lead vocals was in Traffic, Blind Faith and had a great solo career!!!
edit - Check out Steve's 'Higher Love", "Finer Things" and "Valerie"!!
I was a kid in Detroit when this came out & I thought this was a black band. He has so much soul in his voice, it has Motown written all over it. Btw, I still have the 45. I'm now 67 yrs old.
Not bad for a teenager from Birmingham (the original one, not the one from Alabama) and a brilliant band.
As a 16 year old in the 60s all these bands played at our dance halls on Saturday nights ,best music ,best times ,can you imagine
As many have already said, Steve Winwood is the name of the lead singer here, and you will most likely find lots more of him to enjoy spanning his career in different bands, as a solo artist, and duets with the likes of Eric Clapton! Try 'Higher Love' (1986) featuring Chaka Khan on backing vocals! "Gimmie Some Lovin" also featured in the film - 'The Blues Brothers'Thanks for the reaction.
He started singing with this group when he was 16 years old. He could not even sing in clubs because he wasn't old enough. Amazing vocalist.
Steve winwood is one of the best ever.
I was astonished to find out that he's only about 17 years old here.
He was only 15 when he joined the group! He was highly sought after from his early teens and every musician wanted to work with him, and did
Steve Winwood was blowing everyone in England away at the age of 15 sounding like Ray Charles.
Steve Winwood was a musical delight in every band he was in. Check out his beautiful vocals 🗣 in the song "CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME" with his band BLIND FAITH. Song still gives me chills all these decades. 🎵🎵🎵
Still have the one and only vinyl with a 15 year old girl topless holding a silver airplane.. one most controversial album covers of all time.
This song was written by the group's lead singer, Steve Winwood (Spencer Davis was their guitarist - he was chosen as the group's namesake because he was the only one who enjoyed doing interviews). Winwood says they banged it out in the studio in the first or second take. The song was also written on the fly. In Rolling Stone magazine, bassist Muff Winwood (Steve's brother) said, "Steve had been singing, 'Gimme ლ(╹◡╹ლ ) some lovin', ❤' just yelling anything. It took about an hour to write, then down the pub for lunch." Blue-eyed soul R&B.
Stevie Winwood was a phenomenon, beyond which it's difficult to judge. And it's slightly a shame that modern generations don't recognize him more - beyond samples on certain pop songs.
You guys are really on a roll with the most soulful British singers of the mid to late 60's. First, leading the way was Eric Burdon with his Animals, then following on his heels, the Two teenaged prodigy soul singers Steve Marriott of Small Faces and Stevie Winwood of Spencer Davis Group! These two skinny little white kids (17/18) from London had the ability to sound like the most soulful of middle aged black men. This British Invasion era of Rock was like an explosion of Talent and creativity. Winwood and Marriott were BRILLIANT!!!
Thank you very much - Love all these guys.
Steve Winwood was just a teenager here, he played with traffic and blind faith too, "Higher love" from his solo career is a must!!!
When I was goin to 7th & 8th grade, and in high school EVERY FRIDAY there was a dance. BANDS played at the dances, NOT RECORDS. That tune was played by every band! From 7th grade through at least my sophomore year in high school I danced to that tune. I graduated in 1972.
S&M, you have to react to the studio version of "I'm A Man." If you get to it, again make sure, it's the studio version, not live. Love you guys!!!
That is Steve Winwood. He is a legend. A musician's musician. He was in Traffic, Blind Faith & solo. He played keyboards on Voodoo Child with Jimi Hendrix. You should react to Higher Love feat. Chaka Kahn.
One of my favorite concert stories. I was at the Philadelphia Spectrum, now demolished, to see the Grateful Dead on 9/22/87. At the beginning of the second set Bob Weir stepped up to the microphone and said "I'd like to introduce Spencer Davis". The crowd went wild because we knew what was coming, "Gimme All Your Lovin' ", with Spencer on vocals and The Dead as his backing band. It went well. Video and audio tapes exist of the moment. Unforgettable.
Ooops. "Gimme Some Lovin' ". Ya get confused in your old age.
I’m really sorry that you guys didn’t react to the studio version of this. This live version, although good, is a bit tame compared to the original studio version, which is ferocious! The lead vocalist here is Steve Winwood, who went on to play with Traffic, Blind Faith, and from there has gone on to have a tremendous solo career! I’ll bet you’ve heard some of his solo material at some point in your travels.
Yes! I really miss the backing vocals.
Totally agree. Studio version has the"wall of sound".
Yes but then they wouldn't get to see Steve and what he looks like compared to his voice and be shocked like they were. Just listening to the studio version sounds better maybe but if it doesn't show who is singing, then they wouldn't know who was singing
Agree.
The "studio" version was remastered by Phil Spector who added the cowbells and backing vocals post production. The original UK release has none of that stuff and, in my opinion, is better.
57 years later, still singing, playing, sounding great.
You guys should check more of Steve Winwoods songs.He has sounded this way since he was in his teens.
Some of his songs are"Roll with It", " Higher Love".
Steve Winwood is a musical genius and you will see his name appear in many groups. Writer, Performer etc, etc!
You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a group that Steve Winwood was in.
Hey Guys
Thanks again for playing my request.
The lead singer is Steve Winwood. He has had many hit songs in his long career with different groups and also solo. Groups included Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith. You will love alot of his music.
Peace and ❤️!
Steve Winwood was - and still is - a musical phenomenon. He was only a teenager when this was recorded. Check out his other work with SDG, Traffic, Blind Faith, and as a soloist. Try SDG's "Keep on Running" as a starter. A lot of British bands, especially in the midlands and further north were heavily influenced by American R&B and Soul in the 60s - there's even a style called "Northern Soul" that covers bands like Spencer Davis Group, The Animals, and Them.
Winwood rocks. Huge catalog of some of the BEST music you've ever heard!!! More please - Traffic, solo, whatever!! 😁❤️❤️❤️
You guys have heard this voice before because you have reacted to Traffic and maybe Blind Faith too. Winwood has one of the iconic and most recognizable voices in music. A multi-talented musician, songwriter and performer.
I was fortunate and got to watch Traffic with Steve Winwood in 1995 and it was so great!
Love his “ roll with it baby “ 👵❤️👍
The singer, Steve Winwood, was all over the place back in the 60s/70s! He fronted so many bands. Everyone knew his voice and everyone in the business wanted to work with him! Great reaction choice, although the audio version is the best one for this song! Thank you! 💙✌
Now you need to listen to Steve winwood singing bring me a higher love, with Chaka Kahn singing background vocals.
Spencer David Group - I'm a Man is another good one
Steve Winwood...superstar. Check out some traffic ‘empty pages’, ‘mr fantasy’, ‘shootout at the fantasy factory’ some blind faith ‘sea of joy’ ‘cant Find my way home’, ‘presence of the lord’...his organ work with Hendrix on ‘voodoo chile’. Then his solo stuff. There is a Hendrix documentary where they said that Hendrix wanted to ask steve to join the J.H. experience but was scared to ask. The drummer (Mitch Mitchell) said ‘at any time, anywhere we’d have jumped at the chance to have steve in the band’. High praise. I’d say that this young kid in the video had listened to more than his share of Ray Charles in his young life...
Steve talked about his love of Ray Charles and singing like him, but said he eventually felt it was taking a toll on his voice so he went to his natural voice..which of course isn't so far from this..he's naturally got power and soul, even now in his 70s.
Spencer Davis is the guy who introduced the song. This is taken from a session they did in Finland in 66 or 67 with some more songs on which is well worth checking out. They were one of the British bands at the time very influenced by blues and soul. You should check out the follow up to this called I'm A Man which is similar musically.
The Big Chill, movie has this song on it’s soundtrack. You got chills yeah? Same.
*That is a very young Steve Winwood there, singing this. There is so much more to try where Winwood sings, whether it is with The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith, Solo, and more.*
Y'all wanna see another performance with the singer? Check out the tribute to George Harrison of the Beatles and While My Guitar Gently Weeps, where Prince is one of the guitar players. Yup, same dude on keys that you just heard sing that song. He's been in some TOP DRAWER bands.
The singer is Steve Windwood , he was 15 when this music prodigy joined the band . He is 18 when he wrote &! Sang this hit
I think he was 16 years at the time. Amazing voice. Love from Sweden!
That lead singer is Stevie Winwood. He is a superstar whose career spans over 6 decades. He is very versatile: blue-eyed soul, rock n roll, jazz, pop, etc. He’s been in groups: Spencer Davis group, Blind Faith, Traffic. He was a solo artist in the 80s. Did lots of duets too. Check out his 1997 duet with Des’ree called Plenty Lovin.
If you listen to Steve Winwood and Terry Kath from Chicago, they have been known to sound just like Ray Charles. Terry Kath was a baaaaaad ass on the mic and the guitar!!
Watch him at age 17 sounding just like Ray Charles- “Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out”.
Heart Full of Soul - the Yardbirds from around the same time kept our toes tapping.
Stevie Winwood was probably only 16 or 17 in this clip, with an amazing voice that has never deserted him.
Spent many a good time dancing to this song after Friday night high school football games as played by local St. Louis garage bands. Never took a girl to the dances as it was much more fun cruising the crowd to see who you could pick up for a dance or two. And who knows, maybe you got lucky that night and wound up exploring the far out-of-sight places around the campus.
That time never coming back I was 16 years old when this song was coming in the top 10 chart in en middle 60,s 😢
Also, remember just about EVERY band back in the day outta England was a BLUES BAND! Y'all gotta check out Fleetwood Mac's early records. They wrote Black Magic Woman and a shit ton of tunes that MADE THE CHARTS FOR A LONG LONG TIME.
He still sounds pretty close to this, all these years later. Keyboards. Guitar. Vocals. Winwood is so damn good.
You will so enjoy the rabbit hole of Steve Winwood in all his iterations and I'm here for it! Every song mention in the thread I want to hear your reactions!
Don't forget their other big hit "I'm A Man"
Steve Winwood (the singer) is probably about 16 years old here. He wrote dear Mr. Fantasy at 17 and is a great guitar player too. He's been in this band, Traffic, Blind Faith and solo
Shawn & mel your amazing I love 2 see your videos and your reactions on the music…..keep going like this ❤
This song is played in a movie from late70's called
"THE WARRIORS "
EXCELLENT MOVIE👊💖🎼🇺🇸🕇
This song was also on the movie days of thunder when cole trickle(Tom cruise)was getting hammered on in his first stock car race
Lead singer is Steve Winwood, Spencer Davis is the founder of the group, this song gimmie some lovin' was released in 1967.
You guys want to have your freakin' minds blown? Listen to this man singing "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" with the Spencer Davis Group. You will swear it's Ray Charles singing. That is Steve Winwood singing who went on to have a huge career. He was such a prodigy. Everyone wanted to work with him. He was 16 years old when he did it.
Hard to believe Steve Winwood was a teenager here. Listen to I'm a Man. Chicago covered it as well, both great.
Definitely live from the 60's, the equipment certainly improved as the decade closed.
Please go down the Steve Winwood rabbit hole. He had many hits as a member of bands Spencer Davis Group and Traffic as well as a solo artist. He has string of huge hits in the 80s.
Steve Winwood!!! One of the all time greats...all the best rockers sought him out to work with, including Jimi Hendrix, who was in awe of his talent. He is still touring and kept his voice. He joined this group when he was around 15 years old..he's a few years older here, but still a teenager. He was successful from the 60s to the 90s, and still is. His hit Higher Love w/Chaka Khan won him a Grammy.
Steve Winwood on Keys, he was still rocking in the 80s. Still recently far as I know. His big hit was 'Roll with it'
Love this 💖
He's got the traditional blues voice.
You Guy's Are The best Happy MOTHERS DAY 💝💯
Steve Winwood...Listen to "higher love" one of his 80's hits
Hello from Indiana...I am a huge fan....and I keep saying Whoa Nellie....thanks Shawn LOL
Steve is one of the best super extreme "Black" Soul singers ever! He's British and still in his teens here. Just got better with age, culminating in his multi million selling solo CD in the mid 80's.
Follow Stevie Winwood to Blind Faith super group with Eric Clapton "Sea of Joy" and Can't Find My Way Home", then to the group he started, Traffic. "Empty Pages", Dear Mr. Fantasy, "John Barleycorn", "Glad", "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" and solo "Roll with It" and "Why Can't We Live Together". One of the great singer/ songwriters and the master of the Hammond organ and kicks it on lead guitar on "Dear Mr. Fantasy"
The Blues Brothers did a great cover of this song
The Spencer Davis Group's first hit was "Keep On Running."
Contrary to what everybody in the comments calls him, the singer was known as Stevie Winwood
Great British rock band formed in 1963. They had some big hits such as "Somebody Help Me", "Keep On Running", "I'm A Man", "When I Come Home" etc. Steve Winwood & his brother started out in this group. He left in 1967 to form the rock band Traffic & a few years later Blind Faith.
They are from England during the Rock/Blues revolution that hit that nation. They went crazy over black music from the 50's and 60's.
Listen to "Had to Cry Today" Steve Winwood on vocals (The singer of this song) with Eric Clapton on lead Guitar, the band was called BLIND FAITH. The Spencer Davis Group doing "I'm A Man".
also featured a great performance by Steve. Winwood also led a band callled TRAFFIC and I'd recommend DEAR MR. FANTASY, AND LOW SPARK OF HIGH HEALED BOYS. Good stuff, great singing.
Yes you have to listen to the studio version of this!! It has a stronger drive and will get you animated. The first time I heard them I thought it was a soul group like Sam and Dave.
Steve Winwood el chico prodigio de la música, un genio, empezó con su hermano Muff en 1963 en Spencer Davis Group con15 años.Luego Traffic,Blind faith,en solitario etc..I'm a man es otro temazo de S. Davis Group, que versióno Chicago,o Feeling alright de Traffic etc..
Love to hear him sing Keep on Running, my all time favorite by Spencer Davis Group!
Steve Winwood Try the sun roll with it baby! He did that in the 80s he did give me some loving in the 60s he’s amazing
Love this song my ex husband and I use to dance our butt's off to this song!! The Blue's Brothers does an awesome cover of this song! The movie The Blue's Brothers is good also!! I prefer the other version myself.
Steve Winwood. You will hear him in the Star band Traffic.
I saw that someone said he was 19 during this video. Just so ya know, He was 17 when he recorded this Hit. That's CRAZY!!!
"Roll With It" is a good one by Steve too
love ty ty ty
This song was big when I was in high school in the Detroit area. Just thought it was another hot Motown group. Had no idea who Steve Winwood was at the time.
Catchiest song ever.
Hi Shawn and Mel, I love this song! It always makes me want to dance. I really like the keyboard part, it just makes the song. The singer has some old soul, Soul and just the right amount of rasp and grit. That was fun, I loved seeing them play it live. Whoa Nelly!
1960's Britain OWNS music!
Try "Can't Find My Way Home" by Steve when he's about 70 years old now.
This song was played at every high school dance! Sounds just as good today as it did then!
Steve Winwood later on was the lead singer in another band called Traffic.
Lol Hey it’s cool to say it. I totally thought at least the lead singer was a black guy also until I saw the video myself. He sings with soul. Sounds almost like Al Green or James Brown.
Steve Winwood is a music prodigy since the ripe old age of 16. MORE!!
Steve Winwood a living legend! He can sing anything.
Such a fire track even todsy
Winwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve Winwood is class ,great singer and musician,song writer
That was awesome guys
The studio version is even better. ❤
My teen years!
Bout time we got back to some good music!!
The lead singer was only 18 when this song was recorded.
Stevie Winwood is an absolute Superstar IMHO. He's been in many bands, and done some duets, and also some solo work. He's doing a fabulous job here, but please listen to the studio version after this. You certainly won't be disappointed. ❤🎵🕺💃🔥🎼🇬🇧
