If Steve ever released a live album, I think this performance would have to be on it. An almost 50 year old song at the time, and he delivers the vocals like he's trying to get it out as a single tomorrow. I always thought of Steve Winwood as a keyboard specialist and songwriter, but I have to throw guitar in to that list. And I don't know what the magic is that his voice hasn't changed after all this time, and I hope it doesn't.

There have been many artists that are classed as blue-eyed soul, but I want to include Steve Winwood in that list even though he's never cut an R&B single. Pretty much every song he's ever written has a spiritual or emotionally uplifting thread to it. His version of Why Can't We Live Together and other covers that he's done just accentuate the point.

This was loaned to me from a boy named Sam in return for me to get a girl to go out with him. Well the girl said "no" but I never returned the LP. I'm sorry about that Sam but I can reach for it in times like this to calm me. Cheers Mr. Winwood. You're the best medicine I can take as I face abnormal brain CTs due to having barely survived covid.

In my Graduating year of high school the last major assignment was a multi-media presentation for each student. The only media was a record player, the John Barleycorn Must Die album and notes on an overhead about the British historical information that was used to write the album. My English teacher loved it which I could tell by the smile on his face long before the presentation was over. I received an A Plus for the presentation which was the only time I ever got an A+ in high school. I did not find the assignment difficult - it was fun to do. I saw Winwood a few years earlier, in 1969, at a Blind Faith concert in Toronto. I paid $3.50 for my ticket because I couldn't afford $5.00 for the expensive seats. (lol)

I immediately had my own “meltdown” of sorts, so Mom realizing it was a complete accident… went back into the local record store an purchased me another one and lit up my world again for the third time that particular day .
