He took several years off from the music business, after being disillusioned in the 70s, then came back with the incredible Arc of a Diver album, on which he played every single note, on every single instrument. A B3 virtuoso, without a doubt. And he's written so many wonderful songs. Such a talent!

@@p.a.ivenslife - it is just another tool. Though I am not sure many use it. Melodyne is the industry standard. But we have been using all kinds of methods for correcting or improving tonal quality etc since the fifties. Even back in the days when this was recorded we had ways of correcting out of tune notes, though it was way more complicated and not as good. Most of the time, we did as we do now, - just get the singer to do the line again. It’s quicker. We tend to be much fussier now. That started in the late sixties with multi track recording which allowed more surgical retakes. But a lot of tracks from that time have dodgy notes that now we would probably correct. Mostly it doesn’t matter, but occasionally it makes me wince.

This song came at the end of the 60's, when pretty much everybody was lost and disillusioned. It suits the times perfectly. I think there will be the same kind of reaction after 2020 is over as we had when 1968 finally ended (that was an equally F'd-up year). That whole era was like coming-to with a god-awful hangover and realizing that last night you'd destroyed your entire life and everything you loved and believed was gone. Steve Winwood captured these feelings and expressed them in a way we really needed. Steve Winwood is definitely someone whose work you know - he's been making great music since 1965.

Winwood is great without a doubt. Ginger Baker ya gotta give a little more props to. He was with Clapton in Cream as well. He's the father of "Metal" drummers with his style. But this is one of my favorite all time songs!! You should check out the live version at Hyde park they did of this tune.

Seen the cream live 68 wheels fire tour. Baker may be the father of metal because of his power. But technically hes purely from jazz/off jazz, and strongly influenced by African rhythms/beat. Give Airforce by Baker a listen. ☮✌

@One Voice Yeah I know he is from the jazz community..... but his drumming style was and is still an influence in the metal music industry. I ain't lying look it up. Ginger even talked about it in interviews. This is from Forbes in an interview with Baker. These people that dress up in spandex trousers with all the extraordinary makeup - I find it incredibly repulsive, always have. I’ve seen where Cream is sort of held responsible for the birth of heavy metal. Well, I would definitely go for aborting [laughs]. I loathe and detest heavy metal. I think it is an abortion. A lot of these guys come up and say, “Man, you were my influence, the way you thrashed the drums.” They don’t seem to understand I was thrashing in order to hear what I was playing. It was anger, not enjoyment - and painful. .....and plenty of other sites as well, where he repeated the same thing. www.forbes.com/sites/jimclash/2015/06/12/creams-ginger-baker-opines-on-heavy-metal-led-zeppelin-beatles/#551e03f05244

This song played at the end of the movie Fandango, which starred Kevin Costner and Judd Nelson, from 1985. It’s about 4 Univ. Texas grads set in the early 70’s, getting away from it all across the ‘wilds of Texas’, each dealing with the coming reality of life. Last scene is one of Costner ( who is the lost soul of the group, trying to evade Vietnam), standing by himself on a bluff, as his character slowly fades away. This song begins playing when you don’t see him anymore. It still gives me goosebumps, even just writing about it. That song is perfectly placed. Amazing. I’m with you Jamal!!

Every time this 70 year old reads a comment about legendary Stevie Winwood, tbe experts here drag his debut to some earlier age. So, here goes my take. At birth, upon the smacking of Stevie's butt, he burst into a Ray Charles, Georgia On My Mind tribute with a cracking voice rendered that way in a marathon smoky venue performance the night prior. Now. Who is the next tall tale teller?

I agree. Never thought of it but it’s true. I saw Winwood at the Laid Back Festival about a month after Gregg Allman died. Allman was the creator and was planning on playing but he died. Everyone who played was terrible but Winwood came on last and played for almost 3 hours, about 2 am in the rain. He was fantastic

This is the only acoustic song on the album. For songs with Clapton's electric guitar, see "Had To Cry Today", "Presence Of The Lord", or "Sea Of Joy". To see a song featuring a drum solo by Ginger Baker (also formerly in the Cream), see the song "Do What You Like". This group split up after 1 album, but Clapton and Winwood got together at M.S.Gardens in 2008 to play many songs from their past. It's a good DVD, which also features Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile", because Winwood played organ on the original on Hendrix's Electric Ladyland album.
