Steve Winwood. Mulit-instrumentalist and soulful singer. One of the greatest British blues rock pop artists ever. Was in Traffic, Blind Faith, a long, successful solo career. In the R&R Hall of Fame. Worth diving into his catalogue, fellas.
Had no Clue that was Steve.
@@AirplayBeats A huge fan of Ray Charles ,,
@@AirplayBeats its good in a way you didn't know, so you didn't have any preconceptions and just took it as you saw and heard it..
@@AirplayBeatsyou guys gotta do a few more Blind Faith. Stevie W. with members of Traffic and Cream including Clapton and Ginger Baker. They only had one album. You guys did Can’t Find My Way Home but there’s several more bangers off that one LP. Try “Sea of Joy” or “Had to Cry Today”. Straight bangers with Winwood killing it.
@@RazzleDazz72 Yes, yes, yes. They should do the original studio versions first.
Brilliant. Brilliant AF. Steve Winwood.
Steve played EVERY note on the album "Arc of a Diver". He's as gifted a musician as there ever was. Rock on.
Yes! On of my favorite Linwood albums!
Love that album...
Steve is still around and touring as a guest band member of the Doobie Brothers right now
Steve Winwood was just a baby boy here.. how amazing!!??
15 YEARS OLD.
Just babies. "Gimme Some Lovin" next.
The studio recording. There is least one live version online, but it's not as good, IMO.
Stevie was a Ray Charles fanatic. Brother Ray was his hero, and he tried to sound as much like Ray as he could. He was just a kid from England. Steve Winwood you've herard with Traffic,
and Blind Faith.
Yep. I saw a documentary on Steve where he said he intentionally tried to sound like Ray Charles.
@@DSquareMusicBucketlist I also heard he had to stop pushing his voice that low as he was developing vocal chord issues due to it.
Close your eyes and listen to Ray Charles sing.
Steve Winwood was in his teens here, before he formed Traffic. He did a great version of Georgie On My Mind also. Spencer Davis Group had 2 huge hits with I'm A Man and Gimme Some Lovin'.
By the time this was recorded, he'd already performed with Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B. B. King, Chuck Berry, and Bo Diddley.
He was for real, a prodigy like Stevie Wonder. He'd been in bands since 8 years old.
Stevie is only 16 years old in this song rendition.Ray Charles is laughing his butt off in heaven.
you got to laugh at all the young ones now who think they are talented because they got followers on TikTok , this is what true talent is all about
One of the finest examples of blue eyed soul.
That's Steve Winwood - definitely influenced by Ray Charles. He became singer and keyboardist with the Spencer Davis Group at the age of 14. Spencer Davis is the guitarist.
This song was written in the early 1920s. Bessie Smith first recorded it in 1929.
So many legends in this group. So young.
Do you hear this?
Yes. The most underrated guy in popular music. Yes, a prodigy. On another planet in Keep on Runnin.
.
Steve Winwood was everything! "Gimme some lovin" is amazing as well❤
This has become a favorite reaction because of Che’s disbelief. 💜💜💜
Mr. Winwood is a world treasure.
A TEENAGER!!
With that voice!!’😮
Amy Winehouse is the only other white singer who had that kind of voice at that kind of age.
This is from a movie, that's why the band is wearing pajamas. That's Steve Winwood, you reacted to him when you did the band Traffic. Spencer Davis Group came first, then Traffic. Steve is ultra-talented!
Every Little Bit Hurts, It Hurts Me So, Let Me Down Easy, Keep On Running, Hey Darling, I'm A Man are just a few tunes to get you started on young Steve's (he was 14 when he joined the Spencer Davis Group) first band. Enjoy!
That is the actual band. Steve Winwood is one of the bluesiest singers ever. You need to hit live versions of them performing Gimme Some Lovin’ and I’m a Man. But there are several others that you’ll love. His catalogue is a deep dive.
Steve Winwood, the incredible singer/pianist, was only a teenager here. It really is unbelievable that THAT voice came out of him. I agree with La… if I wasn’t looking at the video, I would’ve thought it was Ray Charles.
Steve Winwood sounding just like Ray Charles - mind blowing for sure.
As a older white woman, I want to Thank the British invasion for bringing back the Blues to America! We didn't get to hear songs like the Blues cause of Jim Crowe laws (?). Steve Winwood can sing ANYTHING...❤✌🏼
Loved him with all the bands he was in, Spencer Davis was the beginning, Traffic, Blind Faith,& solo Steve Winwood. ICON!!
The singer is Steve Winwood, at about 16 or 17 years old. Spencer Davis is quite a bit older, guitarist. Steve's brother 'Muff' Winwood on bass. Peter York on drums.
Formed in 1963 when Steve was 16 (b May 12 1948). Last big hit, 'I'm A Man' in 1967 covered by Chicago on their first album 'Chicago Transit Authority'. Both deserve a listen.
Cheers ✌
Winwood was born with it. He was 18 when they did this.
Thanks for that, never heard it before. I knew Steve Winwood was a great singer, but didn't realize he could channel Ray Charles like that, and I think Ray's one of the greatest ever. Crazy. I heard an interview w/ Chris Blackwell, who got Spencer Davis Group their record deal, and he said he heard a white kid that sounded like Ray Charles when he discovered them. Now I get it and believe it.
That was Steve Winwood of Traffic, solo career and Blind Faith with Eric Clapton - at age 14 he was a session artist for when Ray Charles toured England
"Stevie" Winwood was a young teenager here; started in Spencer Davis Group @ 14. That young British kid had alot of talent and soul! (Remember him from Traffic?) He played killer organ alongside Jimi Hendrix in "Voodoo Chile", the long version on Electric Ladyland (track #4). Def. worth a listen!
From prodigy to legend, Stevie is one of a handful of modern artists who deserves the term musical genius. If the Willie Mays of Music is Stevie Wonder, then Winwood is the Mickey Mantle (RIP Willie)
You guys crack me up. I love the wonder in your eyes and the smiles on your faces.
First, I want to thank you for doing this!! La, you had thought that I did. He sounds like Mr. Charles! .Yes, Steve Winwood can SANG! I believe he was 15 or 16 when they recorded this. Give Me Some Lovin is also worth checking out. Excellent reaction, fellas. I figured you would like this. Thank you 😊 🙏 ❤
He can play keys and guitar equally good and has had that voice since these days when he was in his teens!
Steve Winwood is an icon of icons. He was famous by 14 yrs old, when he joined this band. As a teen American Blues musicians touring in the UK would hire him to back them. He'd been playing piano in British pubs since he was 8 yrs old, with his dad and brother. He a multi-instrumentalist, legendary singer and has written some incredible songs. He was in a supergroup, Blind Faith, with Eric Clapton & Jimi Hendrix sought him out to play on Voodoo Chile with him, and Jimi wanted to be in a band with Steve. He's worked with everyone & is universally respected. His bands are this one, Traffic, Blind Faith & a huge solo career in the 80s where he won a few Grammy's. You probably know the one with Chaka Khan, 'Higher Love'. Keep digging down the hole with Steve. Love you guys.
Simply marvelous ❤
Nice cover of a Ray Charles Classic. Brother Ray influenced so many singers! Go get um Stevie!
Another brilliant UK group
Damn it. What a lifespan ~ Steve Winwood....Just, wow. Really.
way more respect now for steve winwood for me after this.
That's a tribute that could bring eye sight to Brother Ray.
He was 16 when he joined Spencer Davis Group. The singer name is Steve Winwood , he's still rocking.
The bluesiest 17 year old ( or whatever he was here) EVER!!!
Steve Winwood is GREAT! He was 16 when he first was in The Spencer Davis. He went on to Traffic and Blind Faith. His solo career is phenomenal.
Some more of that deep south blues from a bunch of dudes from England.
A fine salute to Mr. Charles.
Steve Winwood and the bands/artists he was involved with is a very deep and rich rabbit hole.
This was a real band. Stevie was around 16 years old then. He was a huge Ray Charles fan as a kid.
Great vocals from Steve Winwood
GOSH - Winwood was SO YOUNG, HERE!! He is a TREASURE!! LOVED HIM with The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, AND Blind Faith!! Ya'll should check out more of their stuff! GREAT BANDS!! AND: Steve Winwood's SOLO stuff is ALSO GREAT!!! :) HUGS, YA'LL!!
Steve loved Jimi and Jimi loved Steve. 'Nuff said. L💞ve from Canada
Steve Winwood on vocals is a legend. Check out Gimme Some Lovin or I'm a Man by Spencer Davis Group ( the guitarist) check out Winwoods later career with Traffic & his solo material. My favorite from the late 80s or early 90s was a song called Roll With It.
Steve Winwood (lead singer) is a musical genius. Definitely check out the song Gimmie Some Lovin'. Also, Traffic with Winwood is a great band to check out.
Stevie can wail on the guitar, too. And great acoustic playing
When you two like something you sure let the enjoyment flow. Thanks
Steve Winwood: whatever he touched it went gold, like Vince Clarke 20 years later with sythpop, or Steve Wilson in the last two decades with prog metal. There were always some musical genii who were so diverse and creative and played with or for many bands. Steve was one of them.
I saw them in 1964or 65 at the Empire Pool , Wembly, North London, as well as many other groups.and singers .Lulu ( 15 years of age ) , Rolling Stones , Beatles .Stevie Winwood was 15 or 16 years of age .I was( body, not soul)14 or 15 years of age. A nice harmless experience .God Bless those that made it possible for me and.others to witness the Beatles .A special time , i believe.Good Luck.❤
I forgot to say , The Spencer Davis group were very good , Steve Winwood's voice , great and soulful , especially for one so young.Respect.
The great, Stevie Winwood, in his formative years!! He would go on to form Traffic, play in Blind Faith, have many successful collaborations, as well as a huge solo career! Few on his level, for my money! John Barleycorn Must Die!
That was Steve Winwood, he's on Jimi's Electric Ladyland album playing the keyboard on the long version of Voodoo Child.
There is no other Steve Winwood! And that's a fact. Thanks Fellas. Cheers.
Steve Winwood was such a young man back in those days.I think he was like 14 when he started playing for Spencer Davis. His brother Muff was in the group too.
Just goes to show how influential the blues were to these bands from the 60's.
Blew your mind back ... yea, young, old Steve Winwood is a gift to this world.
I'm blown away. I'm in my 60s, always been a big fan, I have never seen or heard of this performance.
If you've never listened to Steve Winwood, you need to get on it. Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith, a huge solo song list.
This is the same musical genius that you've heard in Traffic and Blind Faith. He also has some solo work that rocks.
Sure would love to see more Stones, Hendrix, Bowie, Alice Cooper and even some Kinks reactions
15-year old Stevie (as he was referred to then) Winwood. He was England's version of Stevie Wonder and has, like SW, been great ever since.
JOHN MAYALL & THE BLUESBREAKER'S "CALIFORNIA" IT'S RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS "I LVE YOU MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW" KILLER SONG!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stevie is a legend
This song is 101 years old this year. Jimmie Cox wrote it in 1923, and Bessie Smith first recorded it in 1929. You should listen to her version. It's on TH-cam. There's also a great live version by blues legend Alberta Hunter from 2015.
He and Clapton were.are really into the blues. Windwoods one of my all time favorites! Thanks for sharing this...never saw it before!! I like his song and video Roll with it. Not as bluesy as this one, but really good.
The man’s got soul all the way down to his toes Laa and Chee! How does a teenaged white guy in the sixties sing like that!
These guys also do a fantastic version of Georgia On My Mind.
I think he’s only 16 here! Sounding like Ray Charles. Incredible voice!!
Spencer Davis Group was
Spencer Davis, Pete York
Steve Winwood.and Muff Winwood
1963
Steve Winwood at 18. You’ve seen him lead Traffic! Spencer Davis was one of the other group members in that film. So Stevie started in Spencer Davis ( I’m A Man is their classic) then started Traffic and then Blind Faith with Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker.
There’s a great version of this song on Derek & the Dominoes album
I met Spencer Davis at a party. He was a fine gent.
I had not heard this before now. I love Steve Winwood & I loved this song
What ludicrous talent.
That man’s got soul right there
Try " Low spark of high heeled boys" by Traffic with Steve Winwood singing. He also wrote it with. Jim Capaldi,
Still a teenager at the time. Steve Winwood is an all-time great.
That gave me chills! I didn't even recognize Steve Winwood...and all wearing pajamas too!!
Man it’s crazy when you see them. Look like bunch lil kids damn that’s some soulful grooves
Everybody else already said it! LOL! I'm glad you know who it is now. Steve was already a genius here in his mid-teens!
✨Oh Yes❕Stevie Bringin’ in Some Ray Charles Flava’❕✨❤️🔥💖❤️🔥✨
Stevie Winwood was all of 17 when they recorded this song in early 1966.
Yes this is lip synching, done for the movie this clip is from, but it's really the band playing it. I'm pretty sure the movie was called The Ghost Goes Gear, gear being slang for cool.
I only ever got to see Stevie Winwood when he was with Blind Faith and he was easily the standout...vocals, keyboards, guitar...he had it all...
Love Steve Winwood and The Spencer Davis Group but have never heard this! Thanks for sharing!❤
That, dear sirs, is the one and only Steve Winwood. He is worth a deep dive. Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith were bands he was in. He also played with many other high profile musicians. John Barleycorn Must Die, Can't Find My Way Home, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys are older songs that I like best, but he does have newer albums from the 1980s and forward that are good too.
Steve Winwood is too talented for words when you look at his body of work. Decades of quality. “Dear Mr. Fantasy” Traffic, “Gimme some Lovin’” Spencer Davis, “Can’t Find My Way Home” Blind Faith “Higher Love” Steve Winwood solo. You cannot go wrong.
Derek and the dominos did this too. It was an incredibly good but the lineup on that album was flawless
Steve is a fabulous guitar player also!!
Winwood was only 15 here. Amazing. 😊 Try out Gimme Some Loving by them. I know you'll love it. ✌️
58 and my first time hearing .. 🔥
I highly recommend hearing Steve Winwood in the super group, STOMU YAMASTA'S GO. The band had 5 members ... GO means Five in Japanese. All of the 5 were between bands. There's Steve Winwood on vocals and keys, Al DiMeola on guitar, Michael Shrieve on drums (he was the drummer for Santana at Wookstock and Santana's first seven albums). Klaus Schulze was from the Kraut Rock scene, experimental electronics. The fifth member was the guy who organized this band ... Stomu Yamashta. He was a highly regarded percussionist and composer ... including Japanese theater.
They put out 2 albums, and Steve sang on the first as he ventured off on his solo career. I highly recommend the song ... CROSSING THE LINE ... the 7:08 version Live from Paris.
Steve had a lot of hits in the 90's going solo. Check out Dear Mr. Fantasy when he was with Traffic.
Not sure what year this was but Winwood was basically a kid here…as he was when they recorded ‘I’m a man’ and ‘give me some lovin’. Incredible musician. Good call on the Ray Charles influence…that is undeniable. There was a rumor that Jimi Hendrix wanted to ask Stevie to join his band but was afraid to ask. There is a clip of a Mitch Mitchel interview where. He says ‘any time, any place we would have jumped at the chance to have steve in the band!’. Paraphrasing …but what a compliment. Check out steve’s work with traffic, blind faith, solo….oh and the live-in-the-studio hendrix jam ‘voodoo chile ‘ (steve on hammond, jack casady on basss)
"Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" was a hit for Bessie Smith in 1929. She dropped it two weeks before the Wall Street Crash signaled the start of the Great Depression, giving the song greater cachet than it might otherwise have enjoyed. PS. For another Steve Winwood jam, check out Traffic "Freedom Rider".
So, you know, Steve Winwood is a big part of traffic. You guys remember your review of low spark of high-heeled boys? Also, he's the voice of blind faith when you're listening to the song Can't find my way home. You need to do a review of Give me good loving by Spencer Davis group
