One Artist for you to React to: TOMMY BOLIN. (Tommy, sadly passed away in 1976, at the Very Early Age of 25. Just as he was on the verge of becoming Big. Stupidly, He OD'ed!! :( :( I was 17, he was My 1st Guitar Hero, and My Entire World was Rocked Hard for A Long While. Check Out: My Favorite: "Wild Dogs" and "Dreamer" both off of his 1st solo CD "Teaser". Also, "Post Toastee" from his 2nd/last solo album: "Private Eyes". IF you are Into/Like Great Dynamics, then "Dreamer" is a song for you. From sparse, mellow and pretty to Rocking Out in a beat. Then-Boom- Right back to sweet and mellow. On "Post Toastee" Everyone in the band gets to Show Off A Little! :) I would suggest the studio versions/audio of all 3.

Thanks for doing this Jamel. I know I was at least one of the people who sent this to you. I thought you would enjoy this live, more recent, stripped down version. Great talent never dies

[@topixfromthetropix1674]

I spent 23 years in the music business, Steve is one of the nicest musicians I ever worked for. His wife, Eugenie is from Nashville and when she and Steve get in an animated conversation, the opposing accents are hilarious. Steve is the only musician who ever hand delivered my end of tour bonus in person. (Usually it's the tour accountant) I worked Steve's HI LIFE tour in the US and Canada. He was and is a class act.

@@RADThird1 I've owned 3 Martins in my life. I'd have bet that was a D series. Granted drop E tuning can made a canoe paddle sound better, and I'd guess he's using serious heavy guage strings. I'm no Stevie Winwood, but I've been playing since 1961, bought my first 00-21 in 1969. This track isn't that difficult, I learned it without too many swear words, lollllll 😂🤣. I hope you don't mind a little feedback, I was intrigued that not one else I've ever seen on KZbin (aside from guitar teachers) knows much about acoustic guitars. I enjoyed your comment, so ✌️✌️🕊️🎸

For more than 6 DECADES now, Steve Winwood has captivated minds and emotions with his music! It will live on for many DECADES more!

[@uncabuzz118]

Winwood in his early 20's bought a 300 acre historic manor in the English country side. He has a recording studio there too. I would imagine that this song was filmed at that very place.

[@tomknoll796]

Wow - usually there is a noticeable change to singers voices as they age - typically losing the full range they had when younger, and often getting deeper - but Steve really sounds almost exactly the same as when he sang this about 50 years ago. Amazing.

[@Mr218362]

His voice is like a old brass instrument or violin that just sharpens over the years..

[@julieraymond482]

You can tell he knows what he is doing.No come-on's, theatrics,circus act,etc ,etc,you see tried on stages/ televisions now.

[@jondeur2686]

You’re so right about his voice. It was a freak of nature when he was 16, but now it fits. So many rock singers ruined their voices Steve is like so many of the earlier masters, Tony Bennett, Sinatra, Nat King Cole who kept singing beautifully into old age. Thanks for this, brother.

You will find that the true musicians and Rockers keep singing until they die. It's in their soul, their being and they want to keep sharing it to the world. They love what they are doing with every fiber in their being, straight from the heart. That's what makes a great singer! Steve Winwood is one of those singers.

[@shawnpost6669]

Notice that only one mic picking up both guitar and voice and his voice projected over the guitar even when he hummed. True balance of the two but, that voice is just so powerful.

You should check Traffic Live At Santa Monica 1972. A lot of people are used to seeing Steve Winwood behind a keyboard, and don't realize that he is a great guitar player. That concert is a testament to that.

My cousin loved Steve Winwood since Traffic. He was on the east coast and I'm on the west. He texted me KZbin links every day of great songs (many Winwood), and I would send some back. Six months ago, his texts stopped. I will never hear another Winwood song without thinking of my cousin, Steve Hall 1957-2010.

This man is an amazing musician and vocalist. I believe there are videos on KZbin like this of him doing other songs. Thanks Jamel, love you brother.

[@SMccrate01]

He hits those highs so beautifully and so full! I love a lot of older guys that their voice changes quality, maybe more gravel, more likely to go to a falsetto instead of the high they once hit, but it still is wonderful and elegant. Winwood sounds almost the same! Definitely a little fuller and richer with age, but totally as smooth as always. Amazing!

[@-R.Gray-]

I wish you' cover more of the Blind Faith album with Clapton this originally came out on. You still haven't heard the rockier songs on that album with Clapton on electric guitar - "Had To Cry Today" - just when you think the song is over, they go into this double lead guitar played through Leslie speaker ending, "Presence of The Lord" has a surprising switch to a wah wah riff half way through, "Sea Of Joy" starts out similarly to this song, but is electric, and "Do What You Like" is Ginger Baker's chance to play a drum solo in 5/4 time. They only made the one album, so if you like Winwood, it's worth checking out even if you don't react to it.

[@lisarainbow9703]

[@startledmoose]

That's Steve on his farm in Oxfordshire, where he says he's semi-retired from music. Although originally from Birmingham in the English Midlands, Winwood went south to the area known as the Thames Valley. He originally had a cottage where Traffic went to rehearse for their first album, which set a trend for bands "getting it together in the country". It wasn't as idyllic and isolated as they had pictured because the music press found out and descended on the rural village, much to the annoyance of the residents. The idea of a country retreat is the basis of the Traffic song Berkshire Poppies, although the village they went to is no longer in the county of Berkshire but, due to boundary changes, has been in Oxfordshire since 1974.

[@dougww1ectebow]

Thank you! This has become my favorite version of this song, ever.

Hey Jamel, I gotta say how much I enjoy watching you enjoy great music. It really adds a higher vibration of appreciation when you can see and feel the music with others, doesn't it?! Especially you, my friend. Your a cool one bruthha.! Seeing you authentically appreciate a piece of music with "fresh ears" takes me back to that same feeling when I heard it the first tme. Back home in Hawaii we call that feeling "chicken skin" ..LOL!! Now, I realize that this is your second reaction to this timeless classic. Like a fine aged whisky it carries all of the spark of the younger years only with complex subtleties that only the added years of such a masterful artist. But wait. There's more ! Yes, in the way of a fantastic cover by Brenna Fitzgerald. The back story is Blind Faith held a contest in 2010 to commemorate the inauguration of their Blind Faith Fan site. Who could come up with the best cover of"CAN'T FIND MY WAY HOME". She won the grand prize with a Fender Stratocaster Guitar Autographed by Steve Winwood . Call it a.. TRIFECTA or the cherry on top.

Steve came to Australia a few years back as support for Steely Dan. Man, what a double bill.

Great to be like a fly on the wall for the experience.

He of course was in the Spencer Davies trio then and at the young age of 16 was voted the best RB singer in the UK by the "New musical express" a very popular music magazine at the time. In fact the "NME" honoured greats such as the Beatles, the Stones and many more, with their annual awards.
