1. My Favorite Winwood Song

And, there are many, many to like.
It's so well crafted. Doesn't hurt to have Chaka in there.

2. Almost posted this version

Although his backup singer was fine she's not Chaka Khan

3. Nice Version

Bur, I really missed the punch of the brass section.
Paul was doing it, but he could only use one hand so the low sax & trombone is missing. Trust me, I know the compromises of doing brass with one hand!
We did the Spencer Davis tune in a battle of the bands. We rotated the lead vocal line by line. And we broke down to a jazzy "Spooky" like thing after the second verse & I played a jazz piano thing.
We won everything that year, with this as our big production number. Made $1,800 for 3 songs!
If we got paid at that rate every gig, I'd have retired at 50!

5. I'm watching the French Open

The loser in the first round made $100,000, so we could have all made more lucrative choices, you were a musician because you loved it, not for the money, sure for the paycheck. At least that's my assumption and I just got up

6. You're Correct

But, I guess my point was that Battles Of The Bands are extremely lucrative.
We were a pretty well paid act, but none of us could have lived off of the 7 or 8 grand a year we made playing music. Strictly a hobby that had a net financial positive.

4. A brilliant song...Stevie really hit on this.

Always brought a smile to my face when this played on FM radio.
