They called him "Little" Stevie Winwood at that time. He was, and is, one of the greatest Rock musicians and vocalists of all time. It's unusual to see him playing piano. He is best known for wailing on the Hammond B-3 Organ. He was also no slouch on the guitar which I saw him play at a Traffic concert in Central Park in the early 70s (It was the 1st time I had seen a green guitar!). If you want to really get the full effect, listen to him with The Spenser Davis Group doing "I'm A Man", and "Give Me Some Loving". These are all time classics. He entered the Beatles inspired psychedelic age with the group Traffic, then Blind Faith with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker of Cream. He struck out on his own, and has been a solo artist for the past 40 plus years. He has put out music every decade since the 1960's. He made a big comeback in the 1980's and delivered some of his best work ever. He stands in the highest Pantheon of Rock Stars, and by the way, that's him playing that Hammond B-3 on Voodoo Child, the live version on Electric LadyLand with his buddy, Jimi Hendrix! Enough info?

That's because American blues records from folks like Etta Baker, James Stephens, Pink Anderson, Floyd Council and etcetera were banned from being played on the radio in America.

Jamel, Listen to Steve Winwood "Arc of a Diver" he plays all the instruments and sings all vocals (on the entire album). Dude can do anything!

Steve Winwood and Edgar Winter were the two great prodigies of rock. Frightening in their talent, both vocal and instrumental. Winwood's rendition of "Georgia On My Mind" is well nigh unbelievable, even without considering his age. "Gimme Some Lovin'" is one of the most ferocious rock songs ever recorded, with "I'm a Man" coming in a close second. It has been a privilege to be in the same generation with such talent.

The list of people that played with the Blues Breakers reads like a who's who of musicians of that era, but Winwood was not among them.

Steve Winwood and Alex Chilton were two of the best 15-16 year old singers I've ever heard. It's like they just came out of the womb with their voices fully developed. Plus Steve is one hell of a song writer, and can play pretty much any instrument you put in front of him like it was created for him.

I personally witnessed him performing "Georgia On My Mind" at Madison Square Garden, when he & Clapton did their first reunion tour together in '08. There was a full band the entire evening, except for that one song, when Steve sat down at the Hammond and played it solo. Major goosebumps...

Probably the only person who can say that before he turned 16 he had already played professionally with Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, and Bo Diddley.

This is a clip of Steve Winwood when he was with the Spencer Davis Group and yes he was 16 when they did this (Winwood joined the SDG when he was 13). To answer your next question, this was dubbed with their studio recording of this song off of their first or second album ("Gimme Some Lovin'" as it was titled here in America). Here's the reason why this clip is dubbed: this clip was taken from a scene in a movie the Spencer Davis Group appeared in called, "The Ghost Goes Gear." But Winwood and the SDG were able to perform this song that well, I have a live recording of this song on CD called The Spencer Davis Group Live Anthology. Love this reaction!

A great, great voice. Consider this: Alex Chilton of the Box Tops, sang their first hit, The Letter, in 1967 when he was 16. At 17, he recorded Cry Like A Baby and followed that up at age 18 or so with Soul Deep. Chilton and Winwood were from opposite sides of the pond, but were grand masters of Blue Eyed Soul.

Steve Winwood is one of the greatest rock and roll performers ever, I never heard this song before it is absolutely or has blown my mind. Keep up the good work brother, I love listening to you!

1988 and 89 was pretty pathetic for rock and roll. There wasn't anyone who matched Steve's talent or professionalism. He knew how to write hits and he ran with it. His "cassettes" (still a few years away from widespread CDs) were in heavy rotation on my car stereo. If you'll remember MTV was shifting away from full VJ and shifting the playlist to VH1. Then MTV went total rap and lost me as a customer. Robert Cray broke through to get good airplay... the next new thing I latched onto was Clapton's Journeyman in 1989. SRV's last album sold double platinum and received a Grammy. But not a lot was shaking at my end of the bar around then.

I was so fortunate to photograph him about 7 years ago when he played my town. That boy is STILL filled to the brim with soul. Such a great performer!

I think he was fifteen or sixteen when he wrote and performed ‘Gimme Some Lovin’ for the first time. He was just one of these remarkable talents that we get every now and then. when you think back to the fifties and sixties, this was really common in the music business.

Can not wait for him to react to Traffic.

This was so amazing, Jamal. You know he could play 20 instruments (maybe more, I'm not positive.) Always love your reactions! Thanks so much for doing this one...

In the over 55 years I have been a Steve Winwood fan, have never been les than amazed both by his talent AND his being a true Gentleman.

...Ohhhh, yeahhhh....you heard right...’little’Stevie Winwood, back in the day....(know that I, and likely quite a few people here, when you go ‘hold up’and give us ‘the look’, are going ‘yeah,that’s right’and giving you the same look back;)...he DOES sound like he could give Uncle Ray a run for his money..:)❤️ just glad you found him:)!

Me too? Wow. I knew Steve Winwood was good. But at that age I didn't know.

sounds like his voice got higher as he aged....that's crazy!

First time I have heard this one. Amazing. Love him. Hear his songs at work every day last few weeks. Been immersing myself in his other songs and he's amazing 😍🤩.

Even today is voice is incredible. A True Rock Giant.

Spencer Davis Group, "Gimme Some Lovin" is another early Steve Winwood great. Here's him with Clapton in 2010 doing Traffic's "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and Steve is playing guitar, does a great solo. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p5uIw7KNppPLgbw.html

You need to find “Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” from Traffic. It was one of the many bands Steve Winwood put together.

Wow, this is why I love this channel. Still discovering in my 50s.

I've listened to alot of Steve Winwood over the yrs but haven't heard that one. Great music!

HOLEY MOLEY. I've never seen this footage.

Me neither! Wow! Gotta give thanks for all the videos saved and all the intelligent musicologists out there, sharing their wisdom and knowledge. Also thanks to the vehicle of Jamel who makes us feel like it was back in the 60's and 70's...bean bag chair on the floor, headphones (sometimes) with the TIME to listen and enjoy the gift of music together. Bless ya'll!

S W., a force of nature. The song, an old blues written about 100 years ago. Saw Steve with Traffic & as front man, mesmerizing & mind blowing.

The post-World War II generation in Britain, which included the Beatles and Rolling Stones, grew up in a very different place from post-war USA. The country had been destroyed by bombing, especially London and the industrial cities of the north. There was rationing of food and fuel until long after the end of the war. The teenagers of the USA sang about driving their daddy's Thunderbird to the beach, while the British bands sang about catching the bus. Maybe that's why they could relate to the blues. US servicemen stationed in Britain during and after the war introduced it to Britain and US sailors sailing to industrial towns like Liverpool would bring in blues records. Blues greats like Muddy Waters toured England and British clubs frequently booked blues acts.

Multi instrumentalist, excellent guitarist, he's got the chops

Steve Winwood is still going strong . “ The Low Spark of High Healed Boys “ when Steve was with Traffic ~ Excellent song

Man I always loved his voice in the song I'm a man and the way improvised. When I found out he only 15 when he sang it blew me away. I just now heard him sing this song no body loves you. I literally have tears my eyes and got chills. How talented and feel music can you be! One of the greatest singers of all time!!!

I'm learning this song on bass. The Derek and The Dominos version.

"I think a lot of people came into rock n' roll to try to change the world. I came into rock n' roll to make music." (Steve Winwood)

Hi from Spain. I first saw Stevie Winwood when he was on tour with the Spencer Davis Group just after they had a number one hit with "keep on running" so this was from memory in late 1965 so I think he was 17, I was 15. I will always remember him using a Fender Stratocaster guitar with what I think at the time was called a "Fuzz Box", a foot pedal that produced a really heavy distorted sound, which he used to create the guitar lick in this song. I then saw him again after the success of "Gimmie Some Lovin". I was a very keen but not very good guitarist at the time but started playing guitar and singing in my first band mainly because of Stevie Winwoods influence. He soon was in the band Traffic and his songwriting with Dave Mason, Chris Wood and Jim Capaldi went to another level, I traveled all over the UK to see Traffic on numerous occasions and then I saw him at Hyde Park in London for a live performance with Blind Faith. For me he is one of the greatest singers / songwriter's / musicians of all time...and still is. I have never seen this video before and thank you for posting it, it brought back great memories for me. From memory Stevie joined Spencer Davis when he was 14 !!! so maybe you are out by a year !!! Kind regards, John.

He was in "The Spencer Davis Group" when he was 14. Give them a listen.

Steve Winwood was one of the greatest musicians to come out of the 1960s. He unfortunately hit a brick wall in the late 70s and 80s when drugs got a hold of him. But thankfully he survived and his good friends such as Clapton have helped him get back on top. English rock owes a debt to the Delta Blues. I highly recommend the film The Commitments for an insight into the 1960s American blues and soul's influence on what has become modern rock and roll. No blues, no Winwood, Clapton, Yardbirds, Zeppelin, and a thousand more great bands.

Sounds somewhat like otis redding. What a voice.

This is something else. I heard he started young, but his voice is astonishing. Piano-playjng and the feel is great.

Man band Legend Try gimme some loving and keep on running classics these song never get old

When you see stuff like this, as the saying goes, ITs All Been Done Before. Everything new! Is just the old again. Including a teenage performance of amazing. 🙃

I think that Steve winwood was a child of The Master, Mr, Ray Charles Jamel, you just entered the best British Soul Singer, rock on, cousin figel

Once live concerts open up again, you MUST go see Steve. He is wonderful and still sounds like a million bucks! On top of that, the last few times he's been in town (I live in Detroit) the other group on the bill has been STEELY DAN!!! What a show!
