  • i found this song more real man tough music than all heavy metal shit like metalica and manson from todays ...hello from europe

  • Un giovanissimo Steve Winwood

    con la sua band del rock: chi l'avrebbe

    immaginato che sarebbe diventata una star del blues

    insieme a Eric Clapton.

    Aurora

  • A young Steve Winwood, but since a teenager, with a beautiful voice.

  • anyone else come here, cause its played at crewe alex at half time?? LOL....no just me awkward

  • Damn, i forgot how hot I was for this man.

  • very cool

  • SOOOO GOOD!

  • @bryanroc specially since he was 17 here. I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous

  • @revkenordquist Yes, he was...isn't that amazing?

  • Just another awesome song by another awesome singer of another awesome 60's band

  • How can 27 people dislike this???? What the hell is the matter with you?

  • @GetOnTheFloor82 they were just sad that the song ends ;)

  • Sounds quite like George Harrison - What is Life

  • @rmleider you are right, I thought about this similarity the moment I came to know Harrison's song.

  • @oferkeshet10 I saw a Chase ad--thought the background music was "What is Life"..I listened closely to the lyrics, googled it and found this song. And then I read about the similarity of "My Sweet Lord" with "He's So Fine". I still love George.

  • @rmleider True, I knew also about "My Sweet Lord" similarity to "He's So Fine", where I believe there was even a law suit that George eventually had to settle monetarily. The Beatles are my favorites anyways, so I love George of course ! Artists many times are influenced by one another, it is natural. Nice of you to share your thoughts, music is in my blood.

  • otis winwood????

  • Takes me back to Long Johns Disco in Sydney's Kings Cross when I was DJ there in '67. They were the days...

  • he has howard moon eyes...

  • no matter how many times you listen to this song its still awesome

  • Winwood it's such a legend!

  • in Italy is sung by Pooh as "Vieni fuori", engraved on 45 in 1966

  • nieźli są!

    

  • Im still running..

  • The Spencer Davis Group played at a little club called Burtons in Uxbridge in the 60's, one evening they announced 'we are going to play a new song, never played in the UK before', then then played this.... my Dad was there :)

  • @elwood180 why?

  • Comment removed

  • This song was written by a Jamaican Name Jackie Edwards for Producer Chis Blackwell that gave the world Bob Marley .... chk out

  • Stevie looks like he should be heading out to 3rd period Algebra.

  • I now know I am a reincarnate from the 60's......so familiar, yet I eas born in 67. This is like the damn bagpipes, no matter who you are or where you are from....it gives ya goosebumps

  • It took me years to realise that this WASN'T a Motown track

    *shakes head*

  • *****

  • A teenage, whiter than white Brit, with a voice like a southern blues belter......what a gift!

  • Its amazing that how they use older music for the new commercials. This is in a Chase commercial now. This is real music. I don't believe today's music will be in commercials in 40 years. Steve Winwood was 18 yrs. old when he sang this.

  • @sportsandfamilies

    yes! i have mixed feelings about using the good music for commercials. I actually wrote to swiffer and

    complained about the song they used a thousand times a day..."love stinks". they changed it!!

    but on the other hand, these commercials are the only way our kids ever hear any decent old music!

  • This is so good I thought that the commercial for Chase was actually Elvis.

  • those songs that Steve Winwood sang make me happy!

  • That's what a number one song sounds like.

  • He's still wearing that shirt.

  • I'd forgotten about this song until I heard it on a tv commercial.

  • @pagescoslet OMG! Same here, love Stevie, Great voice.

  • siempre es placer escuchar a uno de los mejores grupo de los 60 y que tantos recuerdos traen, aun conservo algún disco de ellos es un placer veros en este vídeo chao

  • When I lived in Germany as a kid, this song (and other SDG hits) were playing everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Jukeboxes in the pubs, bands in the clubs, on the radio... and Stevie Winwood's voice was exceptional then as it still is today. This tune was also one of the first times we heard a fuzz tone on a guitar (Jeff Beck with the Yardbirds was another user.) Great stuff!

  • if i had his voice, id be typing this from a bel air mansion actually my maid would be typingthis.

  • Search for Errol Norstedt / Pack of Losers - Keep on Runnin'

    Its a cover from a dead swedish legend :)

  • Stevie's voice....it is so different.... love it

  • for some crazy reason this guys voice reminds me of jimmy cliff

  • steve's brother Muff on that big ole Kay bass really drove all these spencer Davis songs

  • yey, this is in tracy beaker returns:)x

  • Play this LOUD!.. and stick the middle finger through the eye hole if somebody knocks on your door and complains! :P

  • Happy Birthday Steve....63 today.

  • He sounds black

  • And that was 1966, folks.

  • Back when singers had to have talent...

  • No one sounds like him. Born with a soulful voice.

  • très belle chanson que je recommande à tous mes amis. c'est gai et entrainant. ce rythme endiablé invite à la danse. comme disent les jeunes, c'est "rock'n'roll".

  • @chrislebogosse a bout de souffle

  • WHY CANT I FIND THE ONE SONG IM LOOKING FOR! i could sworn it said" i keep on runnin a right round... or something like that, omg im getting really annoyed... anyhelp? :D

  • @xiKoNz

    Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round

  • 24 people love crappy singers!!

  • Man ,that 45' had a wicked groove.Forty three years a fan, and I now know where CCRs John Fogerty copped his stage-look fromI Some of those studio shots had Steve looking more Fogerty than Fogerty.

  • In the 60's this song was used in a commercial for gasoline (or petrol) in Britain. It featured an E-type Jag driving along a beach...very groovy.

  • They've put him In the corner as punishment

  • Powerful voice...love the guitar sound.

  • best voice ever

  • 1965 and Stevie was just 17 years old and awesome.

  • Ah, back in the good old days, when a man could still stalk a woman...memories....I love you Spencer Davis...keep on running...

  • @Tarclasp shut yow mouth

  • @wintersproductions11 keep on running wintersproductions.

  • @Tarclasp lol

  • @Tarclasp lol howd you even find my comment

  • @wintersproductions11 You can run, but you can't hide...muah hah hah hah

  • keepo on bummin

  • i got here cause of run fat boy run;)

    but also, i LOVE THIS SONG!?

  • as a 14 year old growing up around the bullshit they call 'music' these days, im proud to say that this is one of the greatest songs of all time

  • @RapMusiK101 Welcome to my teenage years

  • @RapMusiK101  Welcome to my teenage music years

  • @johnebigguns And mine!

  • @RapMusiK101 as a 19 year old I agree. Lets see one of those crap popstars like ladyboy gaga attempt to sing something as good as this

  • @Mryorkshirepudngravy I do get your point and partly agree.. but the example was bad as gaga can actually sing /watch?v=_7HvURBhMGE

  • Good, old rock!

  • Winwood was so cute!! Really like this song... :)

  • Run fatboy run!

  • steve winwood was/is hot.

  • watch?v=46CNp89_52Y

  • I went to the 'Bike and Music Weekend' last year in Gieselwind, Germany to hear the Spencer Davis Group, and they were bettter last year than they were in the 1960's. Utterly brilliant. I'll go again if they are on this year. Look up 'bike and music weekend' in google and you can get all the details. Lots of beer, 60,000 motorbikes, beer, 15 groups, beer, 4 nights camping, beer, jet cars, beer, drag cars, beer. All for £27.50. Well, excluding the cost of the beer. And did I mention beer?

  • Steve Winwood was ahead of his years regarding the development of his talent.

  • I'm 21 and I prefer this type of music to muck that is out today! I wish i could have been 21 in the 60s

  • @missvivers400m You & me both mate. Most of today's music is total sh!te!

  • GREAT SONG/BAND/VOICE/MEMORY

  • It amazes me this powerful voice comes from one who seems so young. Excellent song and video. Thanks for sharing!!

  • when i am working out i just have this on repeat lol

  • Whenever I hear this voice, I always imagine some giant black lad, and it never ceases to amaze me to realise it's this skinny, Welsh white boy

  • @DominoGray I thought the Spencer Davis Group had a black lead singer too.... ;-)

  • @DominoGray - yep, Stevie was 16 years old at the time... and I had just joined the scouts.

  • @DominoGray Stevie Winwood wasn't Welsh, he was from Birmingham. Maybe you are thinking of Andy Fairweather-Lowe singer in Amen Corner?

    I saw Spencer Davis Group live the night England won the World Cup in 1966. Things don't get much better than that.

  • we made proper music in the 60s - not like this poofter shit of justin biber nowadays!

  • one of the best white "soul" singers there was go stevie!!

  • @tony671

    I know that's right.!! Is that powerful voice coming from him?! lol.

  • looks like miming to me poor effort

  • @johnny1985torrio Miming in the 60's!? Well I never

  • @giddeo It was called "lip-synching" Many TV shows would NOT let a band like this do their song "live" because of the many things that could go wrong.

  • Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my  program  " great sound of  60' s "  on the  site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in  rock and roll.

    Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll.

  • i was lucky enough to see windwood twice. once in dayton, ohio in an arena, and they did an entire acoustic set, and once in schenectady, ny in a college church. both times it was with the traffic. never dissapoints.

  • @mtnthai It's Winwood ;)

  • Too beastly for microphones.

  • great voice !! steve winwood !!!

  • @tartinovich9 of course!!

  • I'm a man of the keys. And I have to perform this song with my school band. But there is no keyboard in it. So I gotta figure out how to make it sound cool with a piano.

  • @dsmaster92

    Sorry that this came so late, but. how about harmonica with a wireless mic? Or a great big honking monster of a concert harp, for volume! It's scale as keys,and the chord progressions are simple enuff to be played by a beginner.

  • Great Bass work, makes this song

  • I wish Steve Winwood was my dad.

  • 1 of my top vinyl 45s

  • love that he doesnt even have a mic lol

  • Steve Winwood was cute as a young kid...great voice too.

  • OMG..go to my channel and find the ORIGINAL VERSION,,by jackie edwards. if u love this song,,as i have since 1966,,,do yourself a favor and listen to it,,it is purer..and the way it was ment to be heard,,with not so much emphasis on the band,,,i actually think it's better. do urself a favor and listen to it.

  • keeeeeeeeeeeeep

  • un grand groupe de nos jeunes années que je n'ai jamais oublié, un grand merci

    y pas à dire on savait s'amuser sur des rythmes endiablés

  • un grand groupe de nos jeunes années que je n'ai jamais oublié, un grand merci

  • steve winwood - definition of a prodigy

  • Wow - great footage of an impossibly young Steve Winwood - as Eric Clapton described him at the time - "here's this spotty little white kid singing like Ray Charles!"

  • Imagine if Steve Winwood joined Yes. Not a match for Steve Howe but could easily whip Rick Wakeman for the job.. Actually he should have been the pick to take Jon's place in the 80's on the Drama tour.

  • @zappatx yeah

  • @zappatx siiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  • my god he can't be over 16?t

  • high time baby. just as good as this and a b side????

  • try listening to... high time baby.... just as good as this,if not better

  • En meget ung, men sikker Steve Winwood!

  • En meget ung men sikker Steve Winwood!

  • the way they move- the blocking vid of the bass player... defensive moves to block the unlimited sex orgies this tune created. taking over for blocking elvis.

  • In the 60's eric clapton was in london when someone told him that there was this kid in another pub that sounded like ray charles. Eric went over to see him and was floored. He had never heard a voice like that before Steve Winwood, he was just 16 yrs old. What a big voice coming out of that little frame.

  • Great song, fine group.

  • I was actually searching for an other song, but he has an amazing voice!!

  • im fucking ubsessed with this its fan fucking tastic

  • by the way they move they look more like thunderbirds puppets in this than genuine people

  • Steve Winwood is a musical prodigy, a true virtuoso and a genuis.....through 5 decades....and a man who has given me countless hours of joy with his music.....despite the fact that I was still in liquid form when he played with Blind Faith and later reformed Traffic. Thanks Mr. Winwood!

  • Used to watch Spencer Davis Goup at Twisted Wheel in Manchester. Another great song was Georgia On My Mind. When Stevie sang that you could hear a pin drop. Truly amazing

  • Steve Winwood is actuallly 17 years old here, but only about 14 when this Spencer Davis Group formed in about 1963. BTW they call this blue-eyed soul, but Steve actually has brown eyes. He is an amazing and gifted man and actually better all around than his long-time friend and bandmate Eric Clapton.

  • greatt songg!! :D

  • No way ws Steve 18 in 1966 -Try 15/16

  • @Catwoman371 Yeah you rite, it was remarked upon that when he sang "When I was just a little boy of seventeen" he was only 15/16 and I think "Somebody Help Me" came out around the same time as this -prob'ly same year or so.

  • Who's the guy at 1:17... he reminds me of someone, but I can't think who...

  • @CrazyIsCool1 looks like he could be related to Clay Aikens

  • @CrazyIsCool1

    That's Spencer Davis, bears a stirking resemblance to a young Eric Clapton

  • With that kind of soul they should have been on the Stax label.

  • Hot Damn! STEVE WINWOOD?! I had nooo idea, THANK GOD for the internet, :) !! LOVE THIS SONG!

  • BIG UP TO LEGENDARY JACKIE EDWARDS jamaican reggae artist who wrote this song. still sounds good till this day.........................

  • Great, great song. Used in Mr Holland's Opus when he is driving to the hopital.

  • what memories this song brings to my mind...great guys

  • awesome !

  • the 1966's best song

  • Spencer Davis (real name Otto Von Zerrz) was on trial for crimes agsanist the People of the DDR when he wroted this loverly song. This song was singed by the immortal Little Richie, famous soul singer of the Japanesser Reich

  • @BrokenneckYgor:

    I take that conspiracy theory of yours and I raise you, Scientology!

    Try believing in that!

  • KEEP ON RUNNING RAOUL MOAT!!

  • @BravoStuZero freak

  • Good thought! Would've been pretty darn close to a Sam & Dave!

  • Steve Winwood is so very much under appreciated

  • @666Eva maybe by the masses(asses) not by Musicians, or by the people in the know!

  • the singer you call Steve is actualle Sergio Mikhailovitch, Grand Duke and Heir to the throne of Monteblanco, one time a highly civilised country in se Europa. First the nazis, then the reds ruined this most magni9ficent land! High Highness Sergio became a musician

  • thanks for that fuzzygreen duck! Stevie Winwood has a brilliant voice

  • The intro of this reminds me of Stevie Wonder's 'Everything is Alright' (might not be the correct title, sorry). I don't say that in a derogatory way either; they are both cool songs and to think that both singers were just teenagers when they recorded them! Amazing.

  • Song was inspired by Negro youth being chased by aggressive polizei in Los Angeles.----Cyclopedia of Rock and Roll (Beirut, 1980)

  • i love this song!!!

  • beautiful sound, im in love with this song!

  • Fucking love this song !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • he was 16 when he wrote amazing

  • All my mates raved over this fantastic bass line in the sixties and it still sounds as good especially loud.

  • never knew this was Steve Winwood till I heard his new CD with this on... had some brilliant songs over the years

    Why was it called Spencer davis any one know??

  • @lollysoul Spencer Davis was the man who founded this Group. He heard Steve and his brother Muff-----real name Mervin. Then he asked them to join him. Spencer Davis was arround Birmingham Blues etc for a while before this.

  • i just so love this riff
