Amber is quickly becoming one of the top chair dancers on KZbin 😆

[@6916dog]

She is the reigning title-holder.❤🎉

[@MisterWondrous]

Totally.

[@j6282]

She was totally born in the wrong era.

[@alexanderwalter4595]

You should see her reaction to the song "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls.

[@brianmoss4832]

I think she is the best chair dancer❤❤😊

[@tobysmith3351]

Steve Winwood was a child prodigy. Look for his video as a 15 year old singing like Ray Charles.

[@seanswinton6242]

True. Check out his version of "Georgia On My Mind" on an early Spencer Davis Goup album.

[@JonHammerHeart]

The song is called "Nobody Loves You When You're Down" and it is remarkable. I believe he was 16 yrs old when he did it and you'll swear it's a young Ray Charles!

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

Great video Toby! He still sounds great even in 2023

[@robrobertson4619]

His voice is that of a 16 year old kid, which he was was when he sang this! Still an unmistakable voice even back then! 😊

[@richdiddens4059]

He was almost 19 when they did this song. Born 1948, This song 1967. Joined the band at 14 and signed their first contract at 16. First hits at 17.

[@ladyamythyst69]

Crazy what a young talent he was. Very mature musically so young.

[@martynadams2011]

And not just the lead vocalist but the organ player too

[@rogerbrown-ci3ou]

The guy that sang The Letter which joe cocker copied was also sixteen years old.

[@robrobertson4619]

18 year old teen... still a young teenager, still the voice of a young kid. 😉👍@@richdiddens4059

[@gkiferonhs]

Fantastic foundational band. "Gimme Some Lovin'" is a burner!!

[@mikepaulus4766]

I'm really surprised that they didn't get the message to start with Gimme Some Lovin'

[@nancy9891]

Gimme Some Lovin is one of the best rock songs from the late sixties! Stevie Winwood was a teenager and is still rocking them today! He plays piano and organ and is so gifted.

[@you2449]

GSL is iconic. it's probly good that they start smaller, then work their way up.

[@spacecardinal]

Don't miss this one!

[@georgewallerlll496]

One of my favorites from Steve Winwood!

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

Fun fact, the group took the name of their member Spencer Davis simply because he was the only one willing to get up early in the morning for radio interviews.

[@shirleybuffington6420]

Wow interesting thanks for sharing that

[@michaelburggraf2822]

😂😂😂

[@salliemoore5472]

😅😅😅😅

[@Wordsmyth8]

‘60s music, baby! Winwood’s voice and wild organ can’t be replicated. Another big hit by them is Gimme Some Lovin.

[@andymageen5308]

Although he co wrote this amazing track, and performed it on the record, Steve Winwood was just 15 years old at the time. A true prodigy. The Spencer Davies Group were a long ways ahead of their times and an inspiration to many that came after. ✌️

[@eventwice1981]

He was older than 15 when this came out. He was born in 1948 and this came out early 1967.

[@mkenific]

He was 18. This was recorded in late '66, he was born in May '48.

[@jamesmaxwell9600]

Chicago covered this song and it's definitely worth a listen.

[@vicprovost2561]

That entire Chicago debut album is worth a listen!

[@mikerichards67]

If they do the Chicago version then listen to the live version from Tanglewood.

[@jeanettegirosky7735]

I like the Chicago cover better.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

​@jeanettegirosky7735 same here, Chicago nailed this one.

[@psongman9536]

@@jeanettegirosky7735 Ridiculous, this is a way better version!

[@robrobertson4619]

Oldie but, still a goodie! Written by Steve Winwood and sung by him as a member of The Spencer Davis Group. Me, being a huge fan of The group Chicago, love Chicago’s version of this as well 👍

[@Kevin-zo4jt]

He was a teenager when him and his brother joined the Spencer Davis group and wrote this

[@user-bz7fg1pk4lbo7]

Steve Winwood has literally been doing this his entire life. He was only 14 years old when he joins Spencer Davis Group, and was only a few years older when this song hit the charts. He's been playing in clubs and touring and recording since he was a teenager.

[@ItsTerryTime]

He was singing songs when he came out of the womb?

[@MrNoneofthisisreal]

What does literally mean? Hah. R @@ItsTerryTime

[@vicprovost2561]

Stevie Winwood as a teenager, tearing it up! They also do Gimme Some Loving, that you need to hit as well. Amber, the way you groove, you are not only in the wrong decade but the wrong century! My dear, you would have just loved the late 60s and seventies for music and the vibe of the hippie community. Steve Winwood is a freaking treasure, try him when you can with the Blind Faith classic, Had to Cry Today, Eric Clapton has one of his very best solos in that tune, they were on a mission from God! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@muddlepond]

I loved the Spencer Davis group, so much so that my son's middle name is Spencer. LOve watching you enjoying all the British 60's groups.

[@mt0115]

Back in the old ages this song came on and everyone is grooving’, never get tired of listening to this and a few others they did during their short tenure.😎🍺 Spencer Davis Group rocks.

[@danielsmith5088]

Steve Winwood's teen voice is amazing, soulful beyond his years. Love this song, Chicago's version is good but doesn't outshine the original.

[@dogstar7]

Christine McVie was Spencer's girlfriend and was the original lead singer of the Group before 15-year-old Stevie Winwood joined on Vox organ and slowly took upon singing duties. Another Spencer Davis song that was covered by The Blues Brothers was Gimme Some Lovin'.

[@EC-dz3fb]

😮 Had no idea!

[@gotham61]

Not really. McVie was Spencer Davis' girlfriend for a while and she sang with him a few times when he was a solo artist, but that was not the Spencer Davis Group. The group formed in 1963 with 14 year old Steve Winwood and his brother Muff Winwood along with Pete York as founding members.

[@johnbyrnes7912]

​@@gotham61you don't mean Pete York of the Monkees do you ? 🤡

[@SnowmanN49]

Bet that really pissed off her husband John.

[@gotham61]

@@SnowmanN49 This was when she was known as Christine Perfect, years before she married John McVie

[@thomashorton5715]

You should also listen to Chicago’s version of this song

[@waltw4537]

OMG! Enjoy. Stevie Winwood on organ and vocal, yep. This is the first big group. Lol! That's right, Jay. Vive La Difference. Stevie's a real young man here. Yep, the talent was just oozing right on out. Chicago does "I'm A Man" too, live version. Thanks!

[@ronnix23]

When you do their version of Gimme Some Lovin' please do a video version of it. You'll be amazed by how young Steve Winwood looks, but at the same time how much mature his voice is. I believe he was 17 when they did that song.

[@carolmartin4413]

Loved this song from the 60's...love that Steve Winwood.

[@pauljohnstone180]

Just watch Amber react to see how good a song is!! You can see the groove taking her over. Love your reactions. ☺💛, PJ

[@rwschumm]

When Spencer Davis Group comes to mind, I always think of 2 things: Steve Winwood, and THIS Song! Always so great to hear it every so often, and it Never Gets Old! Great Reaction, You Guys! :)

[@chrissiegle1065]

Definitely do gimme some lovin... studio version for sure... epic song... Great reaction. Thank you.

[@McZorr0101]

This is one of Steve Winwood’s early successes as a songwriter. He joined The Spencer Davis Group in 1963 when he was still just 14. At the time of recording this song he was still just 18 and his lead vocal and Hammond playing are mature way beyond his years.

[@alancherrier7776]

He was a teenager in the Spence Davis group🗣🎹😎

[@timothygarrett2785]

Fantastic song from a great group

[@michaeldowson6988]

After the two Winwood Bros left the group, it reformed and had a hit with 'Don't Want You No More'. The Allman Bros covered it and had a hit with it also.

[@eddie623]

you two always.bring your best it ever occur to you two that maybe you were born for this keep up the outstanding work 👍

[@busher69]

Steve Winwood's vocals have killed it for 50+ years.

[@lgwappo]

Chicago does a great cover of this. Studio version is better than the live version.

[@kevinsacks3185]

I respectfully disagree. The live version on KZbin from Tanglewood in 1970 is straight fire. Terry Kath burns it up on guitar.

[@candacemay7187]

@@kevinsacks3185Agree! Live version is so much fun!!

[@markkenific6587]

@@kevinsacks3185absolutely!!! That live version is freaking amazing. The vocals and Kath’s lead are both top notch. Jay and Amber you really need to do the Chicago version live from Tanglewood.

[@rodjohnson2632]

I generally prefer studio versions of most songs to live performances, as the live versions often don't capture all the subtleties of a studio mix, and most live versions have a lot of improvisation that for me, is too different from the original. However, Chicago's Tanglewood performance is excellent, and very faithful to the studio version.

[@AnthonyWilliams-ot1yk]

My favorite SDG song of all. So soulful. Steve Winwoods coming out party.

[@bannedagain.8334]

At 17 he had his first big hit with this band...great British band.

[@ellenjones7819]

Steve Winwood was a teenager when this song came out in the mid-60s, so his voice changed somewhat as he aged.

[@taragreenetarotastro]

Still a fantastic groove after 60 years. Stevie Winwood a child prodigy a soulful genius. From Spence Davis, to Traffic, Blind Faith, and his solo career, he is 75 years young and still singing

[@keithcarper8809]

Winwood was so young at that time, his voice may not have changed yet. 😉 This is a rock standard. Great reaction, again. ☮❤🎶

[@Zopf-international]

When that groove takes ya... I don't know anyone who can resist.

[@billhoppe2991]

That song rocked when I was pizza cook in a place with a band eery weekend in 1966-1967. They all covered this song back then and has always remained a favorite.

[@maryannturton9830]

Great memory...🍕🎶

[@maryvallas772]

Love this song! You can't NOT move your body to it!

[@cabrodeur555]

Fabulous! We knew how to get down in the 60’s.

[@deniseg812]

This was a great song to dance to. One day, we had all been dancing at my friend's house, one of the girls was doing the shake so hard to this song, in front of the refrigerator, she threw it so far off. She killed the compressor, absolute truth.

[@user-fu4xm4hs3j]

I’ve always liked this tune!

I luckily got to see him live in Dallas once. He is amazing. He played every instrument on stage that night... even blew a sax solo. One of the founding fathers for what rock was to become...❤

Jordan, your man Barry Gibb is getting a Kennedy Center Honor. That's the same honor Led Zeppelin was getting when you reacted to Ann Wilson singing (killing) Stairway to Heaven. It will be broadcast on Dec 27th at 9 PM on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. {Sorry for usurping the I'm A Man comments, but I don't know how to get a reaction independent comment to you.)

Chicago's version is definitely about 190 Proof, but this is the version that I know the best and love.

[@albertalberico467]

The genius Stevie Winwood he's 15 or 16 when he wrote the songs that were big hits with the Spencer Davis Group before he went to star in the band Traffic

[@danielmarshall3102]

In fact Chicago took it to a whole new level with the advance in production in just a few years between them. Their cover is KILLER !!! If you are going to sample it, make sure you do the Live at Tanglewood version.

[@uppyraptor49]

Keep on running, somebody help me & gimme gimme some loving all brilliant songs

[@RobChilds-gl2wp]

You and so many people below are absolutely right about GIMME SOME LOVIN'! Fun fact, Steve Winwood wrote that song, the band's biggest hit, when he was 14 years old and joined the band when he was 15.

[@rbb9753]

“I’m a man! I’m 40!” was used by Dan Dakich when he had a local radio show. Never would have connected the two.

Steve Winwood was lead vocalist and played keyboards. What a talent at sixteen years old!!

[@cliffwheeler7357]

He is a phenomenal guitarist as well.

Amber is my favorite 60s person in 2023! And I'm old enough to remember when this came out! Rob and Amber, y'all are welcome at our place in Singapore if you ever find yourself in town. We'd love to meet you and your adorable babies! ♥

[@douglasskinner6348]

You need to hear the Chicago version from their first album. It has Terry Kath, Peter Cetera and Robert Lamm on lead vocals. They didn't have the lyrics, so they guessed what the lyrics were and turned out pretty good. It has everything you love about Chicago, so make sure you listen to the Chicago Transit Authority version which is over 6 minutes long.

[@PhillyGirl64]

There's so much energy in this song!

[@lena-mariaglouis-charles7036]

Check out Steve Winwood singing "NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT" at age 15 - his voice was full of soul from day one...!

[@davidzweiban7957]

Yes! A must hear. Talk about soul.

[@williamarmstrong7721]

"I'm A Man" was also the title of a song by Bo Diddley and covered by The Yardbirds!

[@riccottrell7179]

Steve Winwood was 16 when he joined Spencer Davis Group at 66 & a performing musician I remember that much but how old he was on this record went when my memory of an Elephant vanished after my Elephant sadly passed away ~

[@lynnejamieson2063]

As a nineteen year old girl in the mid nineties, this was my favourite getting ready to go out on a Saturday night song. I honestly think it might be impossible to hear this song and not want to at least bop along, if not full on dancing.

[@daveyhouston]

I had no idea Steve win wood was in so many groups!! He was seventeen years old when he was in this group!!

[@JimScholfield]

Now go watch the video of this with them in pajamas. Steve Winwood is 15 in it I think. He started out wanting to sound like Ray Charles and you can tell he came closer than you'd think any 15 year old could. Also, Chicago did a fantastic job with this and I think it was out only 1 year after t;his cut.

[@redstate502]

This song got a lot of radio time when I was little. Great Song!

[@lenaberber9545]

This Song....Oh My, LOVE IT SO MUCH!! Great choice❤❤❤❤

Steve Winwood was 15 when he sang this.

[@onsesejoo2605]

Fusion band Blood, Sweat & Tears made a cover on this. This turned out to be Spencer Davis Group's last hit with Steve Winwood in it as he moved on to Traffic. You should check out Blind Faith song "In The Presence Of The Lord", composed by Eric Clapton and sung by Winwood.

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Great song...I do believe Steve Winwood was a vocalist and organist and only 14 yrs old at the time he started with this band. Thanx so much, stay groovy, Peace

[@freedda1]

I'm a Man is from 1966-67! After this Steve Winwood left in 1967 to form Traffic, then Blind Faith and then went on to his solo career, and Higher Love!

[@jrwilsonsr]

Winwood was young on this...17 I think and he wrote it with Wayne Miller...the SOUL of Rock n' Roll

[@billiam8554]

You saw the Blues Brothers try to sign their song "Gimme Some Loving" at the country & western bar with the chicken wire, but the customers threw their beer bottles at them before they could play it. 😂

Steve, aka Stevie Winwood co-wrote this song as well as “Gimme Some Lovin”, in 1966; when he wasn’t quite eighteen years old.

[@paulwalker9421]

[@stevegordon824]

Badass track 👏👏👏👏

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Everybody covered this, including Chicago. When the movers and shakers in the London music scene were told about this 15 year old kid in Birmingham who sounded just like Ray Charles, they said, sure, next time we're in Alabama we'll check it out - then got corrected, "No, he's in Birmingham, ENGLAND!" - Steve Winwood wrote and sang this and that's Steve also playing the Hammond Organ. GIMME SOME LOVIN' is also a 'must'. Also, hit GLAD and MEDICATED GOO by Traffic and CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME by Blind Faith (Steve Winwood songs).

[@SuperJaybird9]

Grew up with this music. Good stuff

[@757optim]

When you knew this version and Chicago covered it - well it was one of those covers that definitely works.
