Absolutely. When he does talk he asked insightful questions. He is in the moment. He plays great tracks on the radio in between interviews also.

You really can't find a more talented pop/rock artist then Steve Winwood. Vocals, keys/organ, guitar, composing..This was time well spent!

Thankful am I for an interviewer who LISTENS,...who doesn't talk all over all the comments of the guest. I so appreciate this!! Winwood is one fabulous artist, and thanks to this show I know more than I ever have. Great stuff! Again, thank you.

Maybe the greatest musician of the 20th Century. And such a beautiful human being!

I don't understand how some people become famous and household names & outhers who are just as good or better never find fame & fortune he's just a good as anyone I've seen or heard but a lot of people have never heard of him .

Steve Winwoods music is the best memory I have from my childhood. It’s embedded into my soul, especially higher love, I still get goosebumps and that song creates positivity in my blood. 🍻

In my humble opinion, Traffic is the best psychedelic rock band. I love them.

Arc of a Diver. What a masterpiece. Genious.

Clapton once said Steve was famous in London before anyone ever heard him. Word of mouth spread that there was a kid in Birmingham who sang just like Ray Charles.

I remember I was in the Beatles with James Lemon and Sean McCarthy. We did a few gigs with the Spender Davies Band, with Ray Davies and Steve Windon.

Apart from being an absolute legendary singer/songwriter/musician, he's incredibly humble and down to earth too x

Winwood is rightly a legend. But I want to say, this is how to do an interview. The connection, the laughter, the trust is beautiful to watch.

Wow! Steve rarely talks that much. My compliments on making him feel at ease.

Wow, it's well over 50 years since I first heard "I'm a Man" and now I get to hear an interview with Steve Winwood. He comes across as a straight-ahead no-nonsense musician, convincing in his observations, yet when I hear his music there's a whole other dimension. Feeling and artistry with total conviction.

That live record is boss. I bought it.

Mr.Winwood is the essence of Soul Music.. You can feel the Emotions of the lyrics with every note.May he be always blessed with happiness,health,success,and love.

You can see Steve Winwood gradually relaxes as he realises Steve Jones is a really good guy.

Traffic; Blind Faith....Steve Winwood underrated rock icon !

Steve Winwood in my opinion is the most talented musician I've ever seen. He's been cranking out top hits since 1967, and his latest album at 69 years old is absolutely epic.

i was in Manny's Music Store in Manhattan,New York... looking at Guitar EFX and i looked to my Left and Steve Winwood was standing next to me....checking out Distortion Boxes for his Show that night ....Low Spark Traffic Show.....Yeah He Looked Great....

Boy, I sure blew it when I could have so easily gone to see Steve Winwood at a downtown Minneapolis bar about 12 years ago. I had just arrived and wasn't adjusted. I just love ❤️ Steve Winwood. Rock on, Steve. Rock on....

The straightest songwriter, band keeper, and universalist in the development of the Rock scene around 1970 and his band Trafikk imported Jazz, Folk music, not only Rock and Roll and Blues. A true master and better now than then

One of my main influences as a musician.

Bless him Steve Winwood, glad to see he's still on and about

Well done Jonesy. You allowed a very talented guest to talk about an incredibly interesting life.

What a great interveiw. I didn't know anything about Steve Windwood until now. I love how Steve Jones shows respect to all artists no matter what type of music they play.

Steve Winwood. I find you to be the most amazing musician. Almost got to see you this summer in Atlanta, even had tickets. Alas, Corona had something to say about that opportunity. You are wonderful! I love you!!!

Thanks Steve for great music loved Low Spark of High Heel Boys Great Memories

I regard Steve as one who never `SOLD OUT'. The time period of the 80's was as if an old hero who was tried and true returned from the battlefield bearing gifts from abroad!

Steve is so unassuming quite and polite not what a lot of rock legends look or act like, top bloke in my opinion.

You have that nailed.

Love "Big girls walk away", classic track from his Talking back to the night classic album! And you can hear every bit of Ray charles's style of singing in Steve's voice in Steve's early years and ive never heard anybody that could immuliate Ray's voice as good as Steve, incredible! Perfect example is the track "Pearly queen" from the 1st album of Traffic ive ever heard which the self titled one. Powerful and classic performance of Ray's own vocal style by Steve on "Pearly queen"!!! And always interesting to hear how he was influenced by Ray as he mentioned in this interview. Steve's contribution to the music world has been nothing short of being simply amazing!!!!

They used to drop 'I'm A Man' on the dance floor in Manchester club South in the 90's, the place would explode! great great menacing dance floor grooving song, Traffic were also brill. Good interview.

"Skiffle is bluegrass played badly by English youth". Spot on observation. Great interview. SW one of the great musicians and singers (imho, of course).

And furthermore, his humbleness and politeness precedes him.

Nice interview from another of the myriad men of that name. :-) I've been a Winwood fan since I was 14 or 15. First time I remember hearing him was the song "Strong Love" on the radio - unforgettable voice. Keep on Running was the first single I bought. I soon became a wee bit jealous though because my first two girlfriends were both besotted with him. That soon gave way not so much to envy as to amazement at his multiple gifts. Thank you for all the great music, Steve W.

Great singer and songwriter. Check out the live versions of Higher Love from the last couple of years. He nails the high notes and the song is in the original key. Winwood is a legend.

I like learning more about Steve. Big fan from the very beginning, covering his songs in my teen band years starting with Spencer Davis group. Really fun songs to pay and crowd pleasers.

Never really known much about steve winwood. been mostly into metal and heavy shit since i was a teenager in the 80s and i still think hes the most talented and well rounded rock musician ive ever heard.

22:00 Pause in the conversation...Jones says "Tell us something else then." LOL!! That's what makes Jonesy's Jukebox, Jonesy's Jukebox!

I love Steve Winwood! Didn't know about Jones's Jukebox, so I had to look him up.I like him too!

Man I love this! To hear him talk about Traffic being a "niche" band vs his popularity rising in the 80's and people accusing him of selling out, well all I can say is give another listen to Higher Love and you'll hear that it's just pure soul. He said that he's essentially living off of Traffic and boy did he earn it. He has given us so much amazing music, his vocals and piano are among the best of progressive rock, and John Barleycorn Must Die never fails to give me chills with its gorgeous harmonies. Musical genius and down to earth man, that is a true legend.

Can't believe he asked Steve who did the majority of the singing in the Spencer Davies group,if he did any research or even listened to a few of their songs,he would have known who did their singing.

Winwood is one of the few rock dudes left who was never a huge douchebag. Actually, I can't name another one.

Magical voice

I'm not too surprised to hear about the "30s and 40s dance tunes" background when I listen to his music. I can hear hints of it's influence in there.

This is so great!

Good questions, Jonesy!

I saw with Traffic in 70' Wood, Capaldi, Winwood. It was a great concert, of thousands during that era, one of the top five. Winwood, the lone survivor. Along with Levon Helm, the great white singers of that era. Capaldi was under rated. That I know more about Winwood's vocal work than a professional radio man must mean he made a name somewhere else. Never heard of him.

Maybe, but Steve Winwood isn't generally this talkative in interviews, he tends to have difficulty/may be reluctant about expressing himself in the compressed amount of time usually allowed. If you've watched other interviews or clips with Winwood you may notice how much more of his thoughts and reflections about his own life that he reveals here in a comparatively shorter time. I'll definitely be looking for more interviews by Steve Jones.

in Blind Faith.....giant

The two Steves...top blokes.

Musical College hasn't changed.

I remember listening to Traffic in the late 70s alongside the Sex Pistols and the Clash. It was a strange time. I was watching footage of an early Pistols gig recently and noticed that most of the audience had shoulder length hair. Interesting times.

His 80's music is his best music
