- Steve Winwood has had quite the musical history. He started with a group called
- _The Spencer Davis Group_ in the 60's. They made some really good songs,
- including "I'm a Man" and "Give me Some Lovin". All of their best songs can
- be found on _Best of The Spencer Davis Group_. (In total he did 3 albums
- with this group). Then in '69 he was in a group called _Blind Faith_, and
- they weren't that good. From '67-'74 he was in Traffic. They made a total
- of 11 albums, which were pretty good. The music was a little psychodelic,
- but all in all was good listening. Then from there he went solo... you know
- the story from there.
