Steve Winwood being a serious vocal talent in this band, as well as previous band Spencer Davis Group "I'm a Man" and "Gimme Some Lovin" when he was SIXTEEN years old... ! Then he was in Blind Faith with Eric Clapton, and later had a brilliant solo career starting in 1980 with "Arc of the Diver". Steve Winwood is such a class act.

He started playing in pubs with his dad and brother when he was eight. In middle school he was backing blues legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf. At fourteen he joined a group and by 16 he was in a group with a record deal. He bought his estate when he was a teenager and has lived in it ever since.

My wife and I attended a small and intimate triple-bill concert more than two decades ago, and Traffic guitarist Dave Mason (whose fretwork we heard on this song) and his band were the third act on the bill. It was an on-the-lawn concert, and we sat about three feet from the stage. At the end of his excellently performed set, he asked the audience for a song to perform as his encore. We requested this song, and he PLAYED THE HECK OUT OF IT. His guitar defied physical laws by not instantaneously combusting in his hands during that song. If you get the chance to see Dave Mason perform with his own backing band, I recommend that you take the necessary steps to attend that performance...and make it snappy.

This song was always in the top 5 of every top 500 countdown all time, along with Stairway, Freebird…. Also Steve Windwood is one of the most underrated guitarists ever, since it’s not even his main instrument.

If there's a reason to not give this song an 'S', it's because you have yet to hear their masterpiece, 'Low Spark of High Heeled Boys'. This song really doesn't introduce you to Chris Wood, who is a phenomenal woodwind player. Oddly enough, the guy playing the big guitar chops in this song was the keyboardist in a little ole band called Blind Faith, whose lead guitar player was Eric Clapton. Happy 4th guys!

“Make it Snappy” you have to realize there is a genealogy in Rock, Steve Winwood was in the Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, and Traffic! If you think of it this way, every band and or group has the “DNA” of other bands that you can follow and hear how an artist matured in their performance, style, creativity. To really appreciate Rock, and other genres, study the artists, like Jimmy Hendrix for example, he was with the acts like the Isley Brothers, Little Richard and then discovered by Keith Richard’s girlfriend and Chas Chandler of The Animals. Go back and listen from the 50’s thru the 60’s and 70’s to hear how the sound evolved. I’m just an old Boomer Music Nerd who was lucky to have grown up in those times. Rock🤘

Traffic - Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Stevie Winwood was 14 years old when he joined the Spencer Davis Group, and 19 when he joined Traffic, and sang and co-wrote this song. I would recommend listening to some Spencer Davis Group. Especially Give Me Some Lovin' and I'm A Man. Steve Winwood was a legend still in his mid teens.

Stevie Winwood is one of those unsung rock heroes. He is a superb singer guitar player and keyboard player as well as a songwriter and a bit of a child prodigy. He was only 17 when with the Spencer Davis Group had massive hit with ‘Gimme some lovin’ His voice and his keyboard skills amazed everyone then. A. Few years later he formed Traffic and brought out the LP Mr Fantasy which blew us away again. I have seen this man live and he stands up with best of them .

Noticed y’all had your eyes closed at times. The best way to listen to this song is with lights off, maybe a few candles or a lava lamp!!

Be great to see a reaction to the video of Steve Winwood doing Can't Find My Way Home on acoustic in his kitchen. Totally stripped back to voice and guitar. And totally sublime. What a voice

That song was co-written and sung by the amazing Steve Winwood - who was (wait for it) 19 when that was recorded. He really made it snappy. Other songs? "Low Spark..." and "No Face No Name No Number" are a must, as is "Paper Sun". "Can't find my way home" (which I cover in my own gigs!) and "Sea of Joy" - both by Winwood's later band Blind Faith. And also some of the blue-eyed soul he did with Spencer Davis Group - "Keep on Running" (those vocals - from a teenager. Astounding.)

I appreciate channels like this where I see others learning of and experiencing what humanity in all of its color has to offer. Keep on keepin on!

The live version of this song is trippy!

Steve Winwood is amazing. One of my girlfriends is friends with him and talks to him quite often. She knows Peter Frampton, too. She met him through her now deceased husband who was the manager for Lynryd Skynyrd. He survived the plane crash that killed many of the band's members.

Hey, make it snappy haha! This was my favorite song by Traffic for quite a while but then I bought John Barleycorn Must Die, it's an outstanding album, "Glad" "Freedom Rider" Empty Pages" "John Barleycorn", all great songs. The singer is Steve Winwood, he later joined the drummer and guitar player from Cream and 1 other guy to create a band called Blind Faith, only 1 album, I've got it on vinyl of course.

Thank you for playing that great song and for your thoughtful comments.

Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs...make it snappy!

Enjoyed: How about another Traffic “Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.” Make it snappy!

Dear Mr. Fantasy took me on a trip - we're longing for something more - it's an escapist song going out there man.

I know this was months ago. This is one you don't forget. Love you guys. No videos to distract, great picks and knowledgeable critiques.

Little grasshoppers...... there is so much more for you to hear and experience. Happy for you. My generation was over saturated and spoiled by an abundance of super significant sauce.

Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Also Blind Faith - Can't Find My Way Home Steve Winwood was also part of Blind Faith, as well as Clapton and Ginger Baker.

I would love to see your reaction to the Eric Burdon And The Animals ‘Sky Pilot’ and ‘San Franciscan Nights’ and Procol Harum ‘White Shade Of Pale’. Make It Snappy!

“I Like to Rock” April Wine.

On his album " Arc of a Diver" he produced and played all the instruments.

Definitely need Montrose

Steve Winwood--vocal, guitar, keyboards--top ten voice in rock history. NO AUTOTUNE back then.

“Jet Airliner” by Steve Miller Band

And when you listen to this song in 50 years it will still be just as good. I know it is for me. Stay Safe!!

"Children of the Sun" by Billy Thorpe

Love you guys for listening to some of the great old tunes I like, and that you appreciate it ....THANKS!!

MAKE IT SNAPPY!! Keep up the good work fellas. These songs are from my youth (47yo) and it’s great to revisit them with you guys who appreciate it. Great breakdowns as usual. This was always one of my favs.
