Legacy
The John Barleycorn Must Die album (which was originally going to be a Winwood solo release) hit No. 5 on the United States charts, but otherwise Traffic wasn't quite as successful in sheer numbers as Winwood's previous tenure in the Spencer Davis Group. But classic tunes like "Dear Mr. Fantasy," "Paper Sun" and "Empty Pages" still made the band a lock for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which inducted the band in 2004. -
