    This is from 1966. Steve Winwood, the singer and organist, was barely 18 when this was released, and already had a great voice. He went on to join Blind Faith, Traffic, and have a successful solo career.

      If I remember correct, he was 16 years when they recorded this. They had to smuggle him into the nightclubs when performing, because he was too young. And such a voice at that age! First time I heard it I thought it was a black singer in his 30´ies (that is meant as a compliment to both Winwood and all the old school extremely talented black singers).

    Steve Winwood was 16 years old when he wrote this. It is the best pure Rock n Roll song of all time, in my opinion.
    It has an unbelievable organ line and the all-time greatest bass line.
    Note that after Winwood left Spencer Davis Group, they hired bass-guitarist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson for their final tour of the U.S. and the U.K. These two then very shortly became the rhythm section for Elton John. The three of them went to the U.S. in 1970 and in a single night at the Troubadour Club in West Hollywood, the three of them conquered the world, U.S. first. No guitars, no string section, no synthesizers. Just piano, bass and drums and their three vocal harmonies. But what amazing musicians all of them are (Dee Murray passed away on the 90s).

      Spencer Davis group formed well before this song, although he wasn't 16 when this came out. He was in the band aged 14, SDG was signed by a record label with Winwood at 16, and they had theirs and his first UK No. 1 single in 1965, when he was 17 (Steve was Born in 1948).
      So hardly a laughable exaggeration worthy of contempt and know all sniggers. He did have a UK No. 1 at age 17, just not this song, and he was lead singer and keyboard player at age 14, singer of a signed band at 16 and had a No. 1 at 17.

    You're right Lexi--generally speaking, the vibes *were* really good. It was the post-Woodstock we're all in it together period. Even Coke's signature song was about harmony. But people were looking at the world like it was a pretty good place, despite it's problems. Today people look at the problems and behave as though all that other good stuff doesn't outweigh our challenges. Sure we have a lot to do. But it's easier to do it when we're happy and enthusiastic about what's already been accomplished.

      @@KASPA-KEY Agreed, the world has always had things to do because every solution creates unintended consequences. And we're better to be positive. A lot of that terrorism was people making themselves free. Some needed to be exposed as just crime. That improved things. That ugliness lead to a better world.
      The older we all get, the more life experience we get, and we realize that unintended consequences are an unavoidable issue--otherwise we could predict the future. So the issue is rarely ignorance then or now. The difference between then and now was that back then more of us accepted that we could only do so much in one lifetime, so everyone picked some aspect of society they cared about and they did their good works through that and didn't comment on other's work. But social media changed all of that.
      The difference now is that people of all ages, with either no, or extremely limited training or experience in a field, nevertheless have all sorts of uninformed opinions and they want to second-guess the people with the training and experience on what's wise for that aspect of society.
      For the most part we're better to all just stick to our own lanes and trust the others around us. Most of us know next to nothing about other people's lives or jobs. Things would feel less tense with more humility. It worked for millennia and took society forward in ways that solved more problems than we created unintended consequences.
      It wasn't long ago the world had 50 million person famines. The fact that we now have the fewest people starving in history, even though our population is bigger than ever, is a significant accomplishment made by Boomers. And things like that have been true for every generation in history. The generation before them came up with the EU and prevented an inter-European war for 80 years for the first time in history. We got from caves to Mars in a shockingly short period of time when you consider how long other animals on Earth had existed. Humans of every generation deserve our respect. But everyone looks bad if we only look at our personal, or our societal failures. That's no way to find the enthusiasm to fix those things.

    I love this song! One of the most iconic songs of the 60’s. I don’t think the Beatles or Stones did anything much better.

      The Spencer Davis Group obviously didn't have the hits that the Beatles or the Stones had but you're right, this song was easily their equal!

    This song has stood the test of time.I was a teenager in the late 70"s and early 80's and we were listening to this song years after it's release. My middle grandson listens to it now.That's a true classic.

    Winwood has one of rocks greatest ever voices evident at 17 and still today as he soars in his 70's. And he plays multiple instruments. I have always been in awe of such very rare performers. Thank God, we have captured them recordings wise so young people like yourselve can experience what we had and decide for yourselves where this gold fits in your own life playlists.

    I remember when my wingman and I were at this lame ass party standing in the kitchen with lots of good looking women and this song came on. My buddy looked at me across the kitchen. We started dancing in the middle, then miming/inviting and the ladies to dance. It wasn’t a lame ass party any more.

    The dance we did to this was a one two-three side by side and then then slid one arm up on the third note. It actually was pretty cool back in the day. I am 72 and can still do this dance. lol...and yes, men were men then.

    We used to play this song in a band i was in 1968/69 . We would do it as our first song following our break . The bass player would go on stage alone and start by playing a few bars of the main rift . Followed by the drummer doing the same / then the rythem guitar joining doing the same / then the keyboard and finally the singer . The singing would then finally begin. . It was so fun .

    Back in the day, we had quality music performed by actual humans that spoke to the thoughts & feelings that were universal. We have become so polarized on every aspect of life with only computerized autotune blah music, movies, reality-show BS. Not even children murdered in schools is enough to shake the empathy into today to allow substantive change.

  • @jamesdignanmusic2765

    Winwood's voice is magical, as is the way he makes that Hammond organ sing. Somehow a white teenager from Birmingham, UK inherited the voice of a blues maestro from the deep south. Try "Keep on Running", and then follow Winwood's career through Traffic ("Dear Mr Fantasy") and Blind Faith ("Can't Find My Way Home") to his solo career ("While you see a chance", "Valerie"). You won't regret it.

    Brad, when there is a rock ‘n roll song being played at a club when everyone is dancing, NO ONE cares about the lyrics, and you only dance to the beat or groove and that is what’s motivating the crowd!

    Check out the movie Blues brothers with Jim Belushi and Dan Aykroyd they make this song really fun to watch. Steve Winwood who sings and has written the song has done many fantastic songs as a solo artist, including Higer Love with Chaka Khan

  • @paullepri3870

    You picked a winner here. This was one of the best rock songs of the '60s. A strong driving rock and roll song written and sung by Steve Winwood, one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time. If you want to see a video of how kids danced to this song back in the '60s, check out the You Tube video "American Bandstand 1967 Gimme Some Lovin' -The Spencer Davis Group.". American Bandstand was THE top music dance show of the 1960s here in the States. Great dancing song! Black and white television at its best!

    I LOVE this song! One of the best all-time songs, IMHO. I've been obsessed with this song and wanting to learn more about its US production all year long. One question I have is who are the (female?) back-up singers on this? I've not been able to find out anything about it. The song's producer, Jimmy Miller, really had a hand in how this US production turned out. It rocks more than the original UK version, IMHO.

    Since Lex said this is a party song, Steve Winwood has a solo song in the 1990s called "Just Wanna Have Some Fun". One of the local R&B stations used to play it a lot, but I don't think it was a single. I still hear it every once in awhile on the soul oldies station, usually on a Friday with other songs like "Living For The Weekend" by The O'Jays, "Just Got Paid" by Johnny Kemp, & "Livin' It Up (Friday Night)" by Bell And James.

    It was the Spencer Davis Group but Steve Winwood was the shit. Dude was like 17 when he sang this tune. Later had a fabulous career both solo and with other bands. This particular song is just indomitable and infectious. The lo-fidelity of it kinda makes it even better. If that makes any sense.

    From the British Invasion years '64-'66. Lead singer is 17 year-old Steve Winwood, who had a long distinguished music career with groups and solo. There is a live performance video of them doing this song way back then on TH-cam and it sounds just as good.
