"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.

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.

“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🤘

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!

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!
