The depth and maturity of his voice was way beyond his tender years. So bluesy and soulful

It may be Spencer Davis' group but Stevie Winwood drives everything here.

This is real live playing and singing, no playback ! First class.

Love how winwood just straight up goes for it no matter what he has always pushed himself to the limit vocally and that is electrifying

Steve Winwood transported in from another dimension on one of Albert Einstein's beams of light, just to show the Human Race how vocals can be delivered ... and we shall be Eternally Grateful!

Wow, a young Stevie doing "Georgia On My Mind."

RIP Spencer. Your music will last forever.

Spencer Davis, the leader of a rock group that had some of the most propulsive and enduring hits of the 1960s, including “Gimme Some Lovin’,” “I’m a Man” and “Keep On Running” - all sung not by him but by a teenage Steve Winwood - died Monday October 19, 2020, in Los Angeles. He was 81. The cause was pneumonia, Bob Birk, his booking agent and friend, said, adding that Davis had been hospitalized for the last week. Davis co-wrote “Gimme Some Lovin’,” his group’s biggest hit. He played rhythm guitar in the band and occasionally sang lead vocals, lending his baritone voice mostly to blues-oriented material and never to the band’s hit singles.

Rest in peace and love Spencer Davis. Thanks for all the beautiful music. Steve Winwood sure sounded great here. Never knew he did Georgia On My Mind. Wonder if Ray Charles heard this. Cam

This is the first time I’ve seen this. This is a gem. Fantastic.

All I can say is WOW!

One of the first rock shows l went to in the mid 60's was at the Finsbury Park Estoria. The Spencer Davis Band weren't the headline act, but were brilliant, especially their great and soulful vocalist - Steve Winwood, who I believe was only 17 at the time. I'm 75 now but it still remains clear in my memory!

I was 15 when I saw the Spencer Davis Group in late 1967 in White Pigeon, Michigan (sans Stevie). There were about a half a dozen people in the audience with a blizzard outside. Stevie's replacement was a guitarist named Ray. I was like 3 feet in front of Ray when they lit into there first number, "Dust My Broom." Talk about blown away! Winwood's leaving was tragic but the band's recovery was miraculous. Unfortunately, they never got the recognition they deserved. Thank you Spencer for all the hard work. RIP

Am 77 years old and I was in Vietnam when this song came out. Didn't hear it until 1970 when I got home in Michigan. Never gets old.

I was lucky enough to be there in those days. Saw them at "The Chinese Rythm & Blues Club" at The Bristol Corn Exchange. A lot longer set of course.

I had the great pleasure of seeing Spencer & the group perform regularly at the 'Morgue' Bearwood & many other venues they appeared at locally (B'Ham Town Hall. Droitwich Baths, Digbeth Civic etc) before they inevitably hit the 'Big Time' in the early 60s. Stevie Winwood was electrifying at just 15 years of age; Amazing voice; Multi talented musician....Genius.... & the rest of the band were no slouches either, they were ALL masters of their instrument. Great Group: Great Times: Gratefull I'm still around to enjoy the video thank you so much for the memory.

Stevie can sing anything, any age

Spencer had a fantastic voice as well. What a priceless live video.

By this time in 1967 we knew that Steve was leaving and you can see it in all of our faces. But somehow we all survived through the next decades.

It only took me 6 years to stumble on this video. I'm only half way through watching it and it looks and sounds like you put some real time and effort into this. Thank you for doing that. Just found out about Spencer Davis' passing today so couldn't have found this at a better or worse time. Videos like yours make sure their talents will be known to future generations. Greatly appreciated.

Winwood singing and playing keys, or guitar...is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏

Stevie was a teen when I was in my college years. I’ll never forget the impact his voice had on me. He always had that white soul vocal and high range. He was obviously inspired by Ray Charles. Great that Spencer Davis realized his young keyboardist and guitarist with the magical voice should sing lead. But, then, here’s Spencer Davis singing Dust my Blues in the same key and register as Stevie! I had no idea! Awesome old priceless video! Stevie’s lead was ahead of its time in this song.

Winwood is always Great! Love his rendition of Georgia!!!

LOVE this song, Stevie IS a genius! Also, I generally hate covers but CHICAGO'S rendition of this song might just be the GOAT of cover songs!

Just Frickin' AWESOME!!!

Thank you Mr Van Hulst you made a great job of this. Great music.

Wow, great: a real treat!!

Good vibes from an era when people loved, learned and owned the message of music.

The 'interview' at the end is a joy. Favourite 'Negro' singer, Steve? Appalachian music, Spence? Such a time capsule. As for the actual performance of the group ('60's for band), weeeeelll just fantastic. Anyone care to say if they preferred Little Stevie in the SDG, rather than Traffic? Be brave now, 'cos it's an awfully long time ago and Coronavirus is gonna hit all of us old enough to remember this stuff! Big thanks to Mr. John for posting this. It helps to make up for all the quality film that the British TV channels wiped with such glee at the start of the '70's.

Thank you for this, you were lucky to find these tapes because Finnish TV used to re record lots of tapes and usually pop band performances were not considered valuable enough to save. As a Finn I find those occasional lyric translations a bit annoying but that was the way back then.

What an amazing version of Georgia on My Mind - the live version is so much better than the album version! Stevie Winwood - such an amazing singer, guitar player and keyboardist! We used to play many of their numbers in the mid to late 1960s, looking back however they were even better than we thought then!

Thanks a million!!

Did anybody go to the Red Lion pub in central Birmingham in 1966 to listen to SPG and Stevie? I think it was every Thursday night for about a year. They played the blues, and we (girls and boys) use to dance a slow kind of rhythm and blues waltz to their superb blues renderings. We knew Stevie would become a legend - a quiet one at that.

Steve Winwood was 19 here- 19!! He was like a Mozart of rock- writing, singing, playing beautiful guitar, terrific organ- a quadruple threat. And the Band sounds fantastic live- what an outfit. The bass guitar on "I'm a Man" sounds menacing, and Pete York was a really good drummer. This performance is of a much higher live musical quality compared to other bands at the time, even the Beatles. I kind of wish the Spencer Davis group could have been expanded into something like Traffic, instead of being replaced by Traffic. Also, love the jazz break in "Georgia". Thanks for this video, with it's unbelievably great sound.

Thank you for this phantastic Video: Spencer Davis Group at his best!!!!!

All these years and I find myself cycling through youtube and discovering names to the voices I've heard for decades, and then discovering so much more listening to all their music like it just came out yesterday. Loving it!!

Searched high and low for any album by the Spencer Davis Group in the mid 1970's. Could only find "The Best of the Spencer Davis Group". Some re-issue, cutout......but I bought it and wasn't disappointed. I'll have to dig it up and give it a listen.

Thank You! Great post and work done on the sound! R.I.P. Spencer Davis

It all started right here for me all those years ago. Listened to so much music since, not sure any of it is as simply compelling as this.

Love the way the band seamlessly breaks into a shuffle for the organ solo on "Georgia."

This group was really fantastic, I can remember this years very well, I grow older at this time. Thanks for this video! It's so sad that such great musicians have to leave us. RIP Spencer

….Yeah…. GIMME SOME LOVING. I’ve always felt this song moved people, cheered people on. It’s meant to inspire everyone to love life. Stuff like that ⭐️🚁

Thanks for the introduction, and for the editing of the four videos. I first met The Spencer Davis Group and then Traffic, which is one of my favorites from that time, and now. I also really like Blind Faith. (Jorge Villa).

I've loved this band since I 1st heard them in the 60s. I still have quite a few of their records to this day 😎👍
