Happy Birthday, Steve Winwood!!

Happy Birthday to Steve Winwood who celebrates his today, May 12th!! Winwood has been a working musician nearly all of his life having joined the Spencer Davis Group band at the age of 15. Two years later, the band released their debut album, titled Their First LP. Though Spencer Davis led the band, Winwood was the group’s unmistakable star, and hits like “Gimme Some Lovin'” and “I’m A Man” established Winwood, then called “Little Stevie Winwood.”

Winwood eventually kicked off a more pop-oriented solo career, racking up numerous hits, with such songs as “While You See A Chance,” “Talking Back To The Night,” “Back In The High Life,” “Higher Love,” “The Finer Things,” “Valerie,” “Freedom Overspill” and “Roll With It,” among others.
