steve windwood is a multi talented artist who has played in bands such as
the spencer davis group ,blind faith,traffic and go
While he was still a pupil at the Great Barr School,[6] Winwood was a part of the Birmingham rhythm and blues scene, playing the Hammond B-3 organ and guitar, backing blues singers such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Howlin' Wolf, B. B. King, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Eddie Boyd, Otis Spann, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley on their United Kingdom tours, the custom at that time being for US singers to travel solo and be backed by pickup bands.
At this time, Winwood was living on Atlantic Road in Great Barr, close
to the Birmingham music halls where he played. Winwood had modelled
himself on Ray Charles.At the age of 14 Winwood joined the Spencer Davis Group,[7] along with his older brother Muff,
who later had success as a record producer. Steve's distinctive high
tenor singing voice and vocal style drew comparisons to Ray Charles.[8] At the end of 1965 the group had their first number one single with "Keep On Running"[9] and the money from this success allowed Winwood to buy his own Hammond B-3 organ.[5]
