The history of Steve Winwood reads like the history of English rock and roll: teenage years spent in an R&B band in the 60s (the Spencer Davis Group), fronting a psychedelic rock band in the late 60s and a progressive rock band in the early 70s (Traffic both times), playing alongside titans (Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix) and finally fixed in the firmament as an established star with platinum-selling pop albums in the 1980s.
Winwood was seventeen when he had his first #1 single with the Spencer Davis Group, “Keep On Running” and just eighteen when he belted out the immortal R&B classic “Gimme Some Lovin’.” The next year, he moved to Chris Blackwell’s fledgling Island label and formed the psychedelic rock group Traffic with Jim Capaldi, Dave Mason and Chris Wood. After two groundbreaking albums, Winwood joined Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Rick Grech in the one-off supergroup Blind Faith before eventually reconvening Traffic with Capaldi and Wood. Traffic in its second phase featured extended and complex songs, notably on the classic albums John Barleycorn Must Die! (1970) and The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys (1971), which endeared them to progressive rock fans like the guy who is writing this introduction right now.
Traffic came to a stop in the mid 70s, and Winwood released his first solo album in 1977, which picked up largely where Traffic left off. Not so the platinum-selling Arc of a Diver (1980), which introduced a streamlined R&B/pop sound and earned him his first hit single as a solo artist, “While You See A Chance.” “Valerie” from his next album repeated the feat, but it was Back In The High Life (1986) that became his biggest seller, taking the radio hostage with hits like “Higher Love,” “The Finer Things,” “Back In The High Life Again” and “Freedom Overspill.” Roll With It (1988) continued his commercially winning ways, but interest in his music quickly cooled; Refugees of the Heart (1990) merely went gold, Junction Seven (1997) didn’t even get that far. In the 21st century, the man who bought his first Hammond B-3 organ with the money from his first hit single returned to the instrument on About Time (2003) and Nine Lives (2008), to the delight of cantankerous graybeards like the guy who is finishing up this introduction right now.
