The Spencer Davis Group

The Spencer Davis Group

One of the more organically "R&B;" of the British Invasion bands from the Sixties, the Spencer Davis Group did indeed feature Spencer Davis on guitar but also included the group's secret weapon in 15-year-old Stevie Winwood's scorching vocals. After a string of UK hits, the band hit big in America as well with top ten smashes "I'm a Man" and the bona fide rock classic "Gimme Some Lovin'" before Winwood left to form Traffic in 1967.

Bound to Happen Sooner or Later

Spencer Davis continued on after Steve Winwood left the Spencer Davis Group, but without the singing and keys-playing wunderkind the group wasn't able to reclaim its previous chart success. No shame in that, though—Winwood was no ordinary frontman, having later fronted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Traffic and the supergroup Blind Faith with Eric Clapton in addition to selling millions and millions of records as a solo artist.
