More About Winwood
Winwood was just 14 years old when he co-founded The Spencer Davis Group in 1963. Winwood co-wrote, sang lead, and played organ on the band’s classic hits “Gimme Some Lovin’” and “I’m a Man.”
Steve left The Spencer Davis Group in 1967 to form Traffic, and he became one of the main creative forces in that band.
In 1969, Traffic was temporarily put on hold when Winwood teamed up with Eric Clapton in the short-lived supergroup Blind Faith.
Traffic was relaunched in 1970, and Winwood played with the band until its 1974 breakup. Steve then began what became a very successful solo career.
Among Winwood’s best-known solo hits are “While You See a Chance,” “Valerie,” “Back in the High Life Again,” “The Finer Things,” and the Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers “Higher Love” and “Roll with It.”
Winwood was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Traffic in 2004. His most recent solo studio album, Nine Lives, was released in 2008.
