Steve Winwood, the lead singer on this song came to fame at 16 years old with a song called Give Me Some Lovin. He was a prodigy. He helped create Traffic which was a very popular band in its day. Went on to join Blind Faith with Eric Clapton then had a spectacular solo career. I mean one of the greats although a bit underrated for some reason. Again, a musical prodigy and genius with a stunning and very distinct voice❤️❤️❤️❤️

@proudliberal605 11 месяцев назад

Winwood was the greatest child prodigy of all time. The lead guitarist for REO Speedwagon was a seasoned pro by age 19 as well. There were literally dozens of them in the early Seventies. Why? Because every suburban block had a local garage band of thirteen-year-olds that aspired to be rock stars. We are talking about a time that even within the POP genre, the Osmonds, The Cowsills, and The Jackson Five were not out of the ordinary. A numbers game really. The larger the talent pool, the more chance for a prodigy to be found. Like I said, Winwood was the greatest child prodigy of all time.

Steve Windwood....what a voice! Great musician too. He and Eric Clapton do this live in stage many years after this and it’s fantastic as well!!! 😉

@robertelee63 Год назад

Traffic was so good in the early years when Dave Mason was playing guitar with the band. This is from that time, as was their (original) version of "Feeling Alright". However, my favorite piece of Traffic this the first three songs (Side One from album days) : "Glad", "Freedom Rider", and "Empty Pages". The last song truly songs exactly like Steve's solo work 7 years later. If you have to pick only one song to represent Trafic, it would be their maxum opus "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, as everyone else has already pointed out.

Y’all have an “Old Soul.” This is what I grew up on. Peace, love, drugs and rock and roll were the “in” thing. Nobody gave a hoot about how many gold, platinum, or units sold. They made music, and recorded it and toured with it to please the fans. That was it. It was common that one band or member would just show up back stage at another’s show, and walk on stage and just jam. Ppl say I wish I was 18 again. Not me. I wouldn’t trade growing up in the late 60’s, and 70’s for anything! ✌️

Hi Amber and Jay, the album Mr. Fantasy, came out in December 1967, when I was 15, I'm now 71 and it still sounds great. I have found your musical journey of discovery absolutely fascinating, it's great to see how much enjoyment you get listening to music that I listened to maybe before your parents were born. As you go on your trip through time, try and work out the instruments you are listening to, I think it will increase your pleasure immeasurably. We used to do it by reading the sleeve notes, but nowadays, I guess Wikipedia, will tell you all you need to know. Keep on discovering and re-lighting the fire in old people's bellies.

Drummer Jim Capaldi wrote the lyrics. He was coming down off LSD, sketching in front of a log fire and drew an image of a man hanging on puppet strings and wearing a spiked hat with the words, "Dear Mr. Fantasy, play us a tune, something to make us all happy" scrawled under him. Bandmate Chris Wood found his sketch and set a keyboard bass line to it while Steve Winwood worked on the guitar parts and Jim fleshed out the lyrics. That evening they drove to Olympic Studios in London and recorded it.

Traffic was an amazing band. Another couple of amazing songs by Traffic are (my favorite,) "John Barleycorn Must Die" and "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys." Dave Mason had a number of great solo songs, but the keyboardist of this band, Stevie Winwood has had an amazing career, with bands like "The Spencer Davis Group," "Blind Faith," "Traffic" and "Ginger Baker's Air Force." And his solo career was very successful as well. Steve Capaldi on drums has performed with Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Alvin Lee and Cat Stevens, and Traffic was inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

When you said they sounded like a southern band I take it you mean Berkshire in Southern England, where they got it together in the countryside rehearsing material in a rented house before recording their debut album in 1967. Don't worry Amber they recorded a further 2 albums before breaking up in 1969. Steve Winwood then started recording a solo album in 1970, roped in ex members of Traffic to help, then ended up getting the band together and released John Barleycorn Must Die. Traffic then released a further 3 albums before breaking up in 1974.

Jay & Amber, you'd like their "Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys"!! You'll love Steve Winwood's "The Finer Things", "While You See A Chance" and "Back in the High Life Again"!!!!

One of the best Traffic songs. "You Can All Join In" is even better!

"Piano man Jay" would especially like the song "Glad" by Traffic.

Traffic were such a cool band. Stevie Winwood is amazing - multi talented musician, great songwriter and superb vocalist

This is one of those bands from the 60s that was so loaded with talent that it really couldn't contain it all, which led to a lot of solo careers coming out of it, although there were still some Traffic projects that came up intermittently, usually involving Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi. I don't know much about Chris Wood, who was the reed man; he died in 1983, way before his time. Jim Capaldi was the drummer, and an occasional vocalist. He put out some solo records. One that I really like and highly recommend was "That's Love" in 1983. Guitarist Dave Mason still tours with a band and was an on again/off again member of Traffic. He wrote and sang a lot of his own compositions. I don't know if he or Winwood were playing those guitar leads on "Mr. Fantasy." Both were capable of it. Mason's best known Traffic tune is probably "Feelin' Alright?" which has been covered a thousand times, and his best known solo cut might be "We Just Disagree." And then Steve Winwood, who I also believe still performs. As amazing as his ability as an instrumentalist is - he can play keyboards, bass, guitar, percussion, etc. - his voice really set him apart. Just an amazingly powerful tenor and he was only around 19 when he recorded Mr. Fantasy. For his Traffic material try "Empty Pages." But overall I'd recommend "Gimme Some Lovin'" which he did with the Spencer Davis Group, the band he left to form Traffic.

Traffic was amazing! As others have mentioned, you should next do The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys...the long version.

Winwood's extended guitar solo is a thing of beauty.

Old enough to say I got to see Traffic live. And since then have gone to Stevie Winwood solo concerts. Great vibe.

@SnoBear626 Год назад

Rock and Roll Stew (parts 1&2) is another groovin' track from Traffic.

@waltw4537 Год назад

Now you are getting to the heart of the matter. Traffic is a deep and rewarding rabbit hole. Enjoy! Another group that got friends thru tough times. Thank you, Amber. Glad you dug it! Great reaction. Thanks.

It’s amazing to think that I used to listen to this music, this song, on the radio! When you heard one song you couldn’t wait to hear the next song because it would be the same band but with a NEW sound. Bands of this era had such talent to write songs and play! Once you thought you “pin-holed” a group’s sound, they would do something distinctively different. Dear Mr. Fantasy was one of my favorites…and this “album” was particularly psychedelic ☺️

In case you aren't aware Winwood was primarily the keyboardist, playing bass pedals in a live setting, while Dave Mason was the guitarist and Chris Wood played sax and Capaldi drums. For this track, they played live in the studio, with Winwood switching to guitar, Mason to bass and Wood to keyboards.

@markc5771 11 месяцев назад

"Empty Pages" is another one where Winwoods voice just shines... The song is phenomenal.

You guys have touched on a few stops on Steve Winwood's storied career, from solo and Blind Faith (I think you covered Spencer Davis Group with "Gimme Some Lovin'") but Traffic is unique. They were such an eclectic mix of rock, jazz, folk and other styles that they almost became a genre unto themselves. This song shows the musicianship of the band, including Steve tearing it up on guitar as well as vocals. This era of the band featured Steve Winwood on guitar, vocals, organ and piano, Jim Capaldi on drums, percussion and vocals, Chris Wood on sax and flute as well as keys and vocals and Dave Mason on vocals and guitar - truly a killer lineup of musicians. If you ever get the chance, check out Steve doing this live with Eric Clapton back around 2009. I've seen Steve live many times and this always brings down the house. And, Amber, don't worry - plenty of Traffic music to be found. 😀

I’ve seen him play this live with members from the Grateful Dead post Jerry…He is phenomenal

Yes Traffic are amazin'! My introduction to them was the first track off their 2nd album (simply titled Traffic): You Can All Join In. The groove is so incredibly infectious I was hooked! The next day I went out 'n bought their first 3 albums. Saw them live in 1970 when they toured their new album John Barleycorn Must Die. A 3 piece band that covered all the bases. Steve Winwood played bass with the organ pedals as well as lead guitar and main vocals. A most memorable concert experience.
