"Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" is the next logical choice -- an incredible eery, jazzy, melodic sound unlike anything. 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.

@@Grovesgeo In the studio, Mason only played bass on "Dear Mr. Fantasy", "Dealer", and "Cryin' to be Heard", although he played more bass live (Mason, Winwood, and Wood split the bass duties live). Winwood played most bass on the records. There's live footage of the original lineup playing "Giving To You" showing Mason on lead guitar (Winwood organ, Wood flute, Capaldi drums of course). @Andy & Alex if you haven't heard the "Dear Mr. Fantasy" from 'Welcome to the Canteen' it's well worth it!

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.

@JohnAlbertRigali 4 года назад

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.

They are all addictive in their own respect in this song. Keep On Cats, Make It Snappy...!!! Thanks Again 🎸

@Russ-gy7tx 4 года назад

“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🤘

One of my favorite songs! I saw them sing it live in concert and yes, they made it snappy! Jim Capaldi, the drummer, was an amazing musician, writer, and singer (although Steve Winwood sang for Traffic). Capaldi had solo albums and was incredible with his cover of " Oh Lord, Why Lord" with Eric Clapton ripping the guitar. Winwood is also known for his involvement in The Spencer Davis Group ("Gimme Some Lovin") and Blind Faith. Also in Traffic are Dave Mason and Chris Woods. Tight band and all incredible musicians in their own right. Thank you. I loved this reaction!

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.)

Beginning in the 1980s, his solo career flourished and he had a number of hit singles, including "While You See a Chance" (1980) from the album Arc of a Diver and "Valerie" (1982) from Talking Back to the Night ("Valerie" became a hit when it was re-released with a remix from Winwood's 1987 compilation album Chronicles). His 1986 album Back in the High Life marked his career zenith, with hit singles including "Back in the High Life Again", "The Finer Things", and the US Billboard Hot 100 number one hit "Higher Love". He found the top of the Hot 100 again with "Roll With It" (1988) from the album of the same name, with "Holding On" also charting highly the same year. While his hit singles ceased at the end of the 1980s, he continued to release new albums up to 2008, when Nine Lives, his latest album, was released.Winwood was an integral member of three seminal musical ensembles of the 1960s and 1970s: the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith.

Everyone forgets how good of a guitarist Steve Winwood is. I saw him in concert opening for Tom Petty and he joined them on stage during Petty's set for a few songs and he tore it up.

@loosilu 4 года назад

He's one of those super annoying people who can walk into a room and there's an oboe in the corner. He picks it up and fiddles around, and ten minutes later he can play a tune on it.

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.

Steve Winwood, who went on to become a star in his own right, is the one who is doing the singing on this song I was lucky enough to have been able to see him and Eric Clapton in concert together (in a reunion tour) AND I had an amazing seat. He sounded just as good live as he did in the recorded version.

@BlitherVids 2 года назад

Dave Mason was still in the band at this point, but left shortly after the album was released. He would go on later to join Fleetwood Mac for a while and had several successful singles on his own. I strongly suggest the deep cut "Look at You Look at Me" from his first album.

Make it snappy, boys! Lead singer Stevie Winwood was 19 when Traffic did this song and he was already a superstar from his time with the Spencer Davis Group. I'd recommend giving "I'm a Man" a listen from those earlier years, then "Can't Find My Way Home" with him singing for Blind Faith, with Clapton playing guitar and Ginger Baker on drums. And then, jump to the 80s and listen to Winwood singing "Higher Love," which is a completely different, pop-driven song with energy and positivity all over it. Keep up the great work!

That's some production for a track released in December of 1967 (January 1968 here in the U.S.). Producer Jimmy Miller (known for his work with The Stones in the late '60's) ran out onto the studio floor from the control booth and picked up the maracas and started shaking them at the end!

What goes around, comes around! You covered the Chicago version of "I'm a Man" and loved it. Well, the lead singer/keyboardist for "The Spencer Davis Group" that wrote and originally recorded "I'm a Man" is none other than Steve Winwood, the lead singer/keyboardist for "Traffic"!

@Frank-pe9pk 4 года назад

Growing up in the late 60’s and early 70’s in South Tampa we all loved Traffic. Other bands at the time like Blind Faith, Cream, CCR, Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention. Seeing Jimi Hendrix at Curtis Hixson Hall at 14 with best friends older brother I will never forget. Those were the days and I really miss those times. Only 3 main channels on tv, no computers, no cell phones but that would’ve been nice to have. Times were much simpler. Playing all day, fishing, baseball and listening to latest albums or 45’s of some of the greatest bands still popular today but knowing soon we were going to give in to the establishment and get a job, college or fight a unpopular war. Music was always there. Another real popular song was The Hollies song He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother.

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 guys, I think you find this to be a real banger in a jazzy sort of way. Steve Winwood {lead singer/writer} is a name you'll find in a lot of 10 lists from the early rock days, he started his own band at the age of 14 called the 'The Spencer Davis Group', an incredible musician with the ability to play multiple instruments and influenced some of the bigger names in rock history. Stay safe in the groove, cheers!
