DAYUM ! We danced to this in 1967 when he was Stevie Winwood and everyone thought he was black. The man hasn't lost a step or a note. In fact, he's better than ever. Rock On Stevie
Took me by surprise, too. I first heard this song in the movie "Iron Eagle" and until the late 2000s I assumed it was a black vocalist doing the singing. This man has pipes of solid gold.
you still got it Steve, if i didn't see this video i wouldn't have noticed a difference between your younger yr voice and now... Keep rocking that's what keeps us young..
Wow this was playing & I didn’t even realize that it was a recent recording. He still sounds the same! So glad he’s still around to grace us with his beautiful voice.
Funny thing is, we will still be listening to guys like this, Clapton, McCartney, SRV, Etc 50 more years from now. That Kanye guy....not so much. Lady GaGa who?
The fools giving this a thumbs down should be strapped inside of a Leslie speaker while Stevie wails on his Hammond. FULL blast volume. This man is a true legend. Learn what respect is. Today’s phony computer generated music with the crap lyrics will be long forgotten while this will live on forever. Come back in 50 years and tell me I’m wrong.
I'm used to seeing pandemic-era cover collaborations like this on TH-cam. But I looked carefully and said to myself: This guy really looks like Steve Winwood, and then . . .
Love this! Thank you...Steve amazing singer songwriter...i love the dog casually hanging out like yup live music by a star = my normal household ... Too cute
There is NO WAY I could possibly love this any more than I do! It put a big ol' smile on my face in the 70's and it still puts one on my face in 2023!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember when this song came out in the mid 1960's. Couldn't believe a kid that young, (Winwood), could have a soulful voice that great. Saw Stevie several times with Traffic. Always loved him. Still do!
@Paddy Orourke I saw him in Vegas about 6 years ago. He was kicking bass with his left foot. I'm a huge fan of his. Great voice. A great talent. (Just my opinion.)
@@ryancang3627 oh yeah. I was in my teens when I first heard Stevie singing and playing the Hammond Organ with The Spenser Davis Group as a teenager. I'm a Man, another great song. Same group. 1 year later. Stevie Rocks!
@@grumpybumme3289 Eric Clapton, who played with Winwood in Blind Faith, said Stevie was a really good guitarist. Winwood main axe was keyboards. And what a voice!
Hey Steve, its Bob, your truck captain on the High Life US tour. I still relish crew meals with you and your wonderful wife. I ran into Dolette several years back but have missed a lot of music after retiring to Thailand. My absolute best to you!
RIP the great Spencer Davis who co-wrote this. Sad day. This is such a great version (Steve's voice is great after all this time) and proof that great songs never age
I played in bands all my life and still do. Played Hammond B3. We covered this but no way could we do it in Steve's key of G major. Even when we down keyed it to E major it was still a stretch. What a guy. My friend and talented guitarist Gerry Fitzgerald actually roadied for Steve in the late 60's. Met by chance in Denmark street Tin Pan Alley off Charing Cross Road. If you read this Steve you may remember Gerry. Scots lad from Edinburgh. Sadly passed away 3 years ago. Keep rocking that B3.
I saw Spencer Davis Group in Chislehurst Caves in late 60s. A really good venue..Lots of bands played there, Animals, Kinks, Pretty Things, Herd, Yardbirds etc.. Such good memories.
There's a yt of Spencer Davis Group live in Finland from 67 or so. The kid is 19 and sings Georgia like the bluesiest Black guy you ever heard. It's amazing.
I post this on every site that This Man graces us with his gift- The Man is a God!!!! No really he was blessed by the hand of God Almighty!! Stevie Winwood is TALENTED beyond belief. HIS MUSIC TAKES ME TO ANOTHER REALM - I ADORE STEVIE WINWOOD!!!
Steve Winwood's singing, song writing, multi instrumentalist is to me by far one of the greatest, rock, blues, pop, artist of all artists. HIS VOICE IS SO DISTINCTIVE and everlasting from 1965 till present. WOW. way to Steve
Mr Fantasy hasn't lost a step over the many decades. All I can say is thank you Steve. Your music has been in my playlist nearly all my life and for that I am truly grateful.
I was a kid when this song was new and now I'm an old man. So is Steve but the music is still great. I've had great music to listen to, and I'm grateful.
Steve is like a fine wine- just improves with age :) God bless Steve for all you do to heal the world through music as therapy for healing our soul ...and plain old enjoying as well
Everybody knows the secret, in the presence and color of the Lord. Then 40 years later the book came out. They always knew, make love, not war, and make music and dance. God I wish he was twenty again.
Hi Steve ... I am a lighting and sound engineer in Furlough hell .... It is a real treat to hear this amazing version of virtual virtuosity in practice ... brilliant ..stay healthy .. Tim :)
Look at this "big boy" well equipped with a monstrous and immaterial thing called TALENT... He's got 72 springtimes right now and is enjoying life without stress or pressure like when he was starting out! Now I've got a quick question: how many modern singers will be able to reach his age by doing the same thing they do today? Make your bets fellas!
I spent my teenage early years sneaking into dance halls and heard this joyous, rocking song played and I would dance my tootsies off to it! Still as hot as it was back in the mid sixties!
I'm right there with you! I will be 74 this year and I can remember when this song came out on a 45 record. I started in a garage band at the same time and this song still propels me forward in energy while sending me back in my "Way Back Machine". Thank you, "Stevie" - as you were known back then.
This is undoubtedly one of the most propulsive Soul/ Rock songs in history of music. You can't help tapping your toes right from the first strains of this song . The organ is outstanding and his Ray Charles like vocals are drenched with soul
Was listening to Traffic's Welcome To The Canteen, earlier today. Then came across this video. Whoa! Winwood's vocals sounds as good as ever. Unlike a lot ol rockers, bless their souls for trying tho. Long live rock (& ol rock guys.)
Amazing how many decades he's been performing this song and he never fails to deliver.
It's crazy that he was just 17 when this song became a hit.
and I was 13 and ... French !! I begged for some cash to go get the EP which I still have !!
Winwood still as hot as when I was a teen! Not many mature artists left who are unafraid to do their old tunes.
DAYUM ! We danced to this in 1967 when he was Stevie Winwood and everyone thought he was black. The man hasn't lost a step or a note. In fact, he's better than ever. Rock On Stevie
Took me by surprise, too. I first heard this song in the movie "Iron Eagle" and until the late 2000s I assumed it was a black vocalist doing the singing. This man has pipes of solid gold.
Better than ever, Steve is like Fine Wine!!
For real!
Damn. This guy has been a rock star for 56 years and he's 72 years old, and he still gets down cooler than 99% of 20 year olds.
Jeff Beck is the same @ 75 he cranks.
99.9%
110%
✌❤🎹🎶👍
Right On ;)
Soul survivor 😎 Stevie Winwood.
Keep on Running ✊
Are you freakin' kidding me???? He can still do this ????? HE IS A GOD!!!!!!
you still got it Steve, if i didn't see this video i wouldn't have noticed a difference between your younger yr voice and now... Keep rocking that's what keeps us young..
Steve always always outstanding!!
Steve's voice hasn't dimmed with age. One of the greatest rock voices ever, not to mention his song writing talent
Not's the age is a problem. The talent neve will die.
So Thrilled I had a Chance to See hi a couple of times!!!,!,, Brilliant!!!,,!,,
From the Spencer Davis Group to this - Wow! His voice sounds as good at 72 as it did at 17.
I listened to the whole thing because it is good. He is still great.
Yes it does not seem to have diminished, bloody marvellous
Righteous rock. They will be playing this tune in another 50 years.
Wow this was playing & I didn’t even realize that it was a recent recording. He still sounds the same! So glad he’s still around to grace us with his beautiful voice.
Don't know what's more remarkable; Being able to sing like that at 72 or being able to sing like that at 18.
Both would be remarkable ! 😁
@@b.murenthaler, he is that.
Astonishing talent. He could sing like that at 15… Check out this:
th-cam.com/video/VwqsmNR_Q1M/w-d-xo.html
16
Good point
That voice is unmistakable and remarkable in clarity despite his age. Even Sinatra's voice changed with age, Winwood's explodes with brightness.
Great musician great song great pad
Yes - still sounds good, but this is a half-step lower than the original SDG version from 1966.
The best
Love the dog
Yes he does.
Thank you for the happiness and joy this song brings Its hip
Children, this is how it's done. Listen to the music, read the life story and enter a larger world. You are watching a musical genius.
And thats the truth ☘️👍
Sure thing Dad.
Funny thing is, we will still be listening to guys like this, Clapton, McCartney, SRV, Etc 50 more years from now. That Kanye guy....not so much. Lady GaGa who?
Jack f. Something you will never know. Go play with you xbox. No one cares what you think,especially me.😉
i’m 13. hell yeah!!!!!
He gets better and better .... this sounds sooooooogreat!
In Chicago in the 1960's my older sister had this 45. I played it. It blew me away then as it does now. Rock on in Jesus!
So glad you made it!
this song is around for 54 years and i still get the chills just like i heard it for first time stay safe and healthy mr windwood
Exact words ı felt like as soon as he started singing. I am copying your comment word for word and put it as my comment. :)))
1965
Still sounds great
What happened to great music like this?
Love this guy's music.
Steve Winwood has one of the best voices in history.
HOLY HANNAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...JUST SUPERFANTASTIC 💚👍 tyvm for sharing.
The fools giving this a thumbs down should be strapped inside of a Leslie speaker while Stevie wails on his Hammond. FULL blast volume. This man is a true legend. Learn what respect is.
Today’s phony computer generated music with the crap lyrics will be long forgotten while this will live on forever.
Come back in 50 years and tell me I’m wrong.
Fools all LOL. His voice is still sharp, amazing talent!
Oh Lawdy! Stevie's still kicking it on the SDG! Gimme! Snakey , socially distanced groovefest!
After watching all of the war reports for two hours, Steve...you gave me what I need to move on today. Thank you, friend.
I'm used to seeing pandemic-era cover collaborations like this on TH-cam. But I looked carefully and said to myself: This guy really looks like Steve Winwood, and then . . .
I hope that he knows how many people grew up loving Stevie Winwood. Every incarnation was better than the last.
Love this! Thank you...Steve amazing singer songwriter...i love the dog casually hanging out like yup live music by a star = my normal household ... Too cute
Why hasn't he been knighted?
One of the very finest English musicians of all time
This is fabulous! So glad i stumbled across it. Steve, what a talent, my oh my! 😀😀👏👏

Not enough words to say how good that was.

Dear mr. Fantasy! You did let Steve keep his voice over the years way to go Steve!
Aw man - Stevie's still got it - i'm just blown away !!
God has blessed and keep on blessing you and all you love precious Steve Winwood.

Souvenir de jeunesse
Indémodable
I love it...😘
Steve is definitely a gem. Primal. That he has lost nothing with age. A giant.
Passa il tempo ... !!! la musica della nostra generazione
I played in bands all my life and still do. Played Hammond B3. We covered this but no way could we do it in Steve's key of G major. Even when we down keyed it to E major it was still a stretch.

That iconic voice .....!
Long life rock ' on roll, steve, and long life to you, briother. Cheers from D.R.
This is amazing!! Beautiful Music. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
This sounds just like that kid with The Spencer Davis Group... 😜😀 And who’s the nimrod who gave this a thumbs down?
I dunnobut get the adress , I'll help yah!
Nimrod idiot! Yah, you're right ! Let's hope it was dyslexia and not a thumbs down! I'd like to think someTHING is still good and true.
Are you making a joke? It IS the "young white boy with the old black voice."
Those aren’t thumbs down, they are actually thumbs up their own asses.
I gonna guess the dog. Looked unimpressed it was missing out on cuddle time
I saw Spencer Davis Group in Chislehurst Caves in late 60s. A really good venue..Lots of bands played there, Animals, Kinks, Pretty Things, Herd, Yardbirds etc.. Such good memories.
I love Steve Winwood. He’s one of my favourite artists - very talented songwriter, sInger and musician. He still posesses a great soulful voice.
There's a yt of Spencer Davis Group live in Finland from 67 or so. The kid is 19 and sings Georgia like the bluesiest Black guy you ever heard. It's amazing.
Get down!! I say, GET DOWN! Get funky! Gimme, gimme, gimme some lovin'! Fantastic! You still got it Steve! Thanks for this!
I fell in love with him 💙 in the sixties. He was great then and still is. He once said he would retire at the age of thirty. Thank God he didn't!!!
We all thought 30 was old back then lol
Jeezus..he's still kicking it..so damn good..
"Don't look around to find the sound that's right beneath your feet"
You're a living legend, enjoy
I like that. Where's that quote from?

This Man's music has been with me for most of my 65 years. Thanks.
God bless all of you, with Stevie! Oh that old Hammond organ and with Conga! Thank you for preading some Lockdown cheer.
Hi Steve ... I am a lighting and sound engineer in Furlough hell .... It is a real treat to hear this amazing version of virtual virtuosity in practice ... brilliant ..stay healthy .. Tim :)
Just showed my 25yr old son the video from the 60s to compare Steve then and now - there is no doubt that class is permanent
Always loved this guy who’s been a professional musician since the age of 17 and still going strong 💪🏼
Have loved him since the 60s and he sounds fantastic.
You still got it, Steve! I remember this fondly from 1967.
Absolutely timeless, and look at those backing musicians! Everyone here in this video is super talented, as Steve has always been!

The Prince of Rock passing the test of Time . Long Live Steve Winwood!!
still awsome in 2024. give steve some lovin❤
If nothing else: the pandemic has made at-home music better than anything we could have seen live back in the 1960s-70s-80s!!!
Well yes, but helps to have great tech to back one up :)
Awesome COVID jam
Thanks for Tour music, thanks for tour life, thank for the man I'm with yTour music
Thank-you for bringing us all joy during these trying times!!!
I want to be Steve's neighbor. Hanging with the dogs listening to Steve jamming with his friends virtually. I'll bring the wine. Damn.
I spent my teenage early years sneaking into dance halls and heard this joyous, rocking song played and I would dance my tootsies off to it! Still as hot as it was back in the mid sixties!
Steve Winwood is a gifted and humble multi-instrumental musician. His music is so good. I saw him twice live, when he was opening up for Tom Petty.

@@WinwoodCompletist Hello Berkin! 👋✌️
Dear Mr Winwood, I love yr groovin'... This is true R'n'R spirit!!! No fake, no lies, just Big Love and real fun... thank you indeed!
Steve is in his 70s and is in his seventh decade of doing this! His voice and playing remain treasures that I cherish more each year!
How many times has he sung this song? And yet it never grows old.
I first remember hearing Steve Winwood in 1967 or 1968 I guess both of us are getting old and Steve is still kicking ass!
I'm right there with you! I will be 74 this year and I can remember when this song came out on a 45 record. I started in a garage band at the same time and this song still propels me forward in energy while sending me back in my "Way Back Machine".
Thank you, "Stevie" - as you were known back then.
Rock on Stevie! Sounds just like when I was a kid...
"I'm so glad he made it'" and that he sounds just as good at 72 as he did at 14 as a member of the Spencer Davis Group. We love you, Steve!
Pretty sure he's only 70. Same age as me. i've been wrong before.
@@cherylczekala4558 No he’s 72 yrs old. Still kicking ass
Seit 55 Jahren klebe ich an dieser Wahnsinnsstimme....
"Gimme some lovin" für die Ewigkeit..
Danke Steve Winwood, bleib' gesund
Thanks again Mr. Winwood.
1966 the year I was born. I love this song, unique.
This is undoubtedly one of the most propulsive Soul/ Rock songs in history of music. You can't help tapping your toes right from the first strains of this song . The organ is outstanding and his Ray Charles like vocals are drenched with soul
Stevie Winwood, a classic legend in his own right..............love this guy!!
Keep these coming Steve! Wonderful.
Was listening to Traffic's Welcome To The Canteen, earlier today. Then came across this video. Whoa! Winwood's vocals sounds as good as ever. Unlike a lot ol rockers, bless their souls for trying tho. Long live rock (& ol rock guys.)
