I've read that when Winwood's genius first debuted via the Spencer Davis Group people thought "Gimme Some Lovin" was a new song from Ray Charles. There was just no way to believe this voice was belting out of an 18 year-old white kid from the UK. Makes sense!!
What a tune. If this song was a movie it would open with a chase scene. From the moment the first bass riff hits you're immediately hooked, and when Steve falls on the Hammond and hits that first vocal the spell has been fully cast.
And talk about timeless: this sounds just as incredible today as it did when it hit the airwaves 42 years ago.
