    Stevie Winwood is a stone cold music genius. He plays organ and piano and sings on this, and he was only 18 at the time. He's been in so many great groups over the years and has a great solo career.

    Plus he is an amazing guitarist and highly competent drummer. There isn’t anything he can’t do. I bought Keep On Running in Jan 66 and was hooked. I’ve seen him in Traffic and as a solo artist, plus playing keyboards in Eric Clapton’s comeback concert in Jan 1973.

    Stevie got his start playing in clubs with his father and brother when he was too young to legally perform in bars, so they turned the piano so he could hide behind it and the crowd couldn't see how young he was. He was eight.

Even in his 70's as a solo keyboard and guitar giant he is still jaw droppingly awesome vocally and instrumentally. Such a treasure. Thank God, he's captured for history.

    67 here, stands the test of time. Stevie was only 17 and I thought he was a chitlin circuit veteran like Otis Redding or a Bo Diddley R&B rave-up rocker. This sounded to my ears like a live club recording done by the boys from Muscle Shoals

    After Winwood left the Spencer Davis band, for their final album and tour they hired a new rhythm section: Dee Murray on bass guitar and Nigel Olsson on drums. Nigel and Dee soon afterward joined Elton John and became the core of Elton's band, including their heart-stopping vocal harmonies. On Elton's first live album, "11-17-70", it was just Elton and his piano, Dee and Nigel and their instruments and voices. No guitars, no electronic keyboards, no string sections. Three young men who electrified their audiences and became instant legends, on their very first tour of the U.S. You ought to react to "Bad Side of the Moon", or "Burn Down the Mission" from this raw, live album.

    Essential Steve W: The entire "Low Spark of HIgh Heeled Boys" album by Traffic; other than the first two tracks (which are still awesome), the album rocks with incredible guitar work. The album that preceded, John Barleycorn Must Die, is equally classic, but a bit more acoustic-oriented. Also check out "40,000 Headmen" from 2nd Traffic album, so atmospheric it almost plays like a movie.

    My band reformed when I was 22 fresh back from Vietnam a few months. We played all of the regional clubs and this was our opening song 1st set and we modeled it exactly like the record. Best opening song ever with The Beatles version of Kansas City a close second.

    Absolutely agree! I saw him live outside on a pier in San Francisco & the sound of him and that organ really stick with you. It was a free fireworks show put on by a local radio station KFOG. They always had a absolutely killer lineup for the pre-show and then synced the fireworks to a soundtrack that they played on their station... Everybody was encouraged to bring some sort ofsound system out and tune in ..... Ended up providing a perfect background... *Edited for spelling error

    Too true. I saw him open for Steely Dan in 2016. He did every song you’d want him to, from every era, and he sounded as great as ever. I love Steely Dan, but Donald Fagen definitely can’t sing like he used to. He let back-up singers take several of the choruses.

    Stevie Windwood was/is a musical genius. He was 17 when he recorded this song with the Spencer Davis Group, and 18 about the time it was released. That's his singing and playing keyboards for this monster hit song. I was a sophomore in high school when it came out, and me an my friends loved it.

    Grateful Dead covered this song eighty-seven times between 1984 and 1990. Eighty-six of them with Brent Mydland on keys. They played it one more time after Brent passed with new keyboardist Vince Welnick and shelved it. Just not the same without Mydland on the Hammond B3 and backing vocals. The even played it a couple times with Spencer Davis sitting in.

The following year, The Box Tops released the song "The Letter" with 16yo Alex Chilton (later of Big Star) belting out the vocals with the weathered soul of a 40yo. It's time for y'all to check out The Box Tops and come back around to Big Star!

    A 17 year old Steve Winwood. The guys in the Band, had to persuade his parents to let him play and sing with a bunch of older 20 something men. Eventually, his parents gave their blessing, and the rest is history. Steve Winwood is a legend on par with his friends Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck, Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. What a talent. He mostly sings and plays keyboards, but plays about 25 different instruments, and plays them at a high quality. He's damn near as good a guitarist as Clapton. "Can't Find My Way Home." Acoustic from maybe 5 yrs ago, outside by a crackling fire in the snow at 70 years old. It's unbelievable. Thanks guys
