Steve Winwood
Stephen Lawrence "Steve" Winwood (born 12 May
1948) is an English musician whose genres include rock,
blue-eyed soul, rhythm and blues, blues rock, pop rock,
and jazz. Though primarily a vocalist and keyboardist,
Winwood also plays bass guitar, drums, guitar, mandolin,
violin, and other strings.
Winwood was a key member of The Spencer Davis
Group, Traffic, Blind Faith and Go. He also had a successful solo career with hits including "Valerie", "Back
in the High Life Again" and two US Billboard Hot 100
number ones; "Higher Love" and "Roll with It". He was
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Traffic in 2004.[2]
In 2005 Winwood was honoured as a BMI Icon at the
annual BMI London Awards for his “enduring influence
on generations of music makers.”[3] In 2008, Rolling Stone
ranked Winwood #33 in its 100 Greatest Singers of All
Time.[4] Winwood has won two Grammy Awards. He
was nominated twice for the Brit Award for Best British
Male Artist: 1988 and 1989.[5][6]

Early life
Stephen Lawrence Winwood was born in Handsworth,
Birmingham. His father, Lawrence, a foundryman by
trade, was a semi-professional musician, playing mainly
the saxophone and clarinet. Young Winwood became interested in swing and Dixieland jazz as a boy and started
playing drums, guitar and piano. He first performed with
his father and older brother, Muff, in the Ron Atkinson
Band at the age of eight. Winwood was a choirboy at St
John’s Church of England, Perry Barr. He later admitted
to having “sneaked a few plays” of the organ there. While
he was still young the family moved from Handsworth
to the semi-rural suburb of Kingstanding at the northern
edge of the city.[7]

Sonny Boy Williamson II, Eddie Boyd, Otis Spann,
Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley on their United Kingdom
tours, the custom at that time being for US singers to
travel solo and be backed by pickup bands. At this time,
Winwood was living on Atlantic Road in Great Barr, close
to the Birmingham music halls where he played. Winwood modelled his singing after Ray Charles.[7]
Winwood joined the Spencer Davis Group at age 14,[9]
along with his older brother, Muff, who later had success as a record producer. Steve’s distinctive high tenor
singing voice and vocal style drew comparisons to Ray
Charles.[10] At the end of 1965 the group had their first
number one single with "Keep On Running"[11] and the
money from this success allowed Winwood to buy his
own Hammond B-3 organ.[7]
Career
Early years
While he was still a pupil at the Great Barr School,[8]
Winwood was a part of the Birmingham rhythm and
blues scene, playing the Hammond B-3 organ and guitar,
backing blues singers such as Muddy Waters, John Lee
Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King,
During this time Winwood joined forces with guitarist
Eric Clapton as part of the one-off group Eric Clapton
and the Powerhouse. Songs were recorded for the Elektra
label, but only three tracks made the compilation album,

What’s Shakin'. Winwood co-wrote and recorded the hits
"Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm a Man" before leaving
the Spencer Davis Group. Winwood met drummer Jim
Capaldi, guitarist Dave Mason, and multi-instrumentalist
Chris Wood when they jammed together at The Elbow
Room, a club in Aston, Birmingham.[12] After Winwood
left the Spencer Davis Group in April 1967, the quartet formed Traffic.[13] Soon thereafter, they rented a cottage near the rural village of Aston Tirrold, Berkshire
(now Oxfordshire) to write and rehearse new music.[12]
The period at the cottage proved important in the band’s
development.[14]
Early in Traffic’s formation, Winwood and Capaldi
formed a songwriting partnership, with Winwood writing music to match Capaldi’s lyrics. This partnership was
the source of most of Traffic’s material, including popular
songs such as "Paper Sun" and "The Low Spark of HighHeeled Boys", and outlived the band, producing several
songs for Winwood and Capaldi’s solo albums. Over the
band’s history, Winwood performed the majority of their
lead vocals, keyboard instruments, and guitars. He also
frequently played bass and percussion up to and including
the recording sessions for their fourth album.

Blind Faith and Traffic
CAREER
Blind Faith’s opening act Delaney & Bonnie & Friends—
Clapton left the band at tour’s end. However, Baker, Winwood and Grech stayed together to form Ginger Baker’s
Air Force. The lineup consisted of 3/4 of Blind Faith
(without Clapton, who was replaced by Denny Laine), 2/3
of Traffic (Winwood and Chris Wood, minus Capaldi)
plus musicians who interacted with Baker in his early
days, including Phil Seamen, Harold McNair, John Blood
and Graham Bond. However, the project turned out to be
just another short-lived one. Winwood soon went into
the studio to begin work on a new solo album, tentatively titled Mad Shadows. However, Winwood ended up
calling in Wood and Capaldi to help with session work,
which prompted Traffic’s comeback album John Barleycorn Must Die in 1970. In 1972, Winwood recorded the
part of Captain Walker in the highly successful orchestral
version of The Who's Tommy. He recorded a 1973 album
with Remi Kabaka, Aiye-Keta, for Antilles Records, and
in 1976 provided vocals and keyboards on Go, a concept
album by Japanese composer Stomu Yamashta. In 1976,
Winwood also played guitar on the Fania All Stars’ Delicate and Jumpy record and performed as a guest with the
band in their only UK appearance, a sold-out concert at
the Lyceum Theatre, London.
2.3 Solo career
Weariness with the grind of touring and recording
prompted Winwood to leave Traffic and retire to sessioning for some years.[16] Under pressure from Island
Records, he resurfaced with his self-titled first solo album in 1977. This was followed by his 1980 hit Arc of a
Diver (which included his first solo hit, "While You See a
Chance") and Talking Back to the Night in 1982. Both albums were recorded at his home in Gloucestershire with
Winwood playing all instruments. He continued to do
sessions during this period, and in 1983 he co-produced
and played on Jim Capaldi's top 40 hit "That’s Love" and
co-wrote the Will Powers top 20 hit "Kissing with Confidence".
In 1986 he moved to New York. There he enlisted the
help of a coterie of stars to record Back in the High Life in
the US, and the album was a hit. He topped the Billboard
Hot 100 with "Higher Love", and earned two Grammy
Awards: for Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal
Performance. Winwood embarked on an extensive tour
of North America in support of the album.[17]
All these albums were released on Island Records. However, at the peak of his commercial success, Winwood
moved to Virgin Records and released Roll with It and
Refugees of the Heart. The album Roll with It and the title track hit #1 on the USA album and singles charts in the

he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Berklee
College of Music to add to his honorary degree from
Aston University, Birmingham. On 28 March 2012 Winwood was one of Roger Daltrey's special guest stars for
“An Evening with Roger Daltrey and Friends” gig, in aid
of the Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall. In
2013 Winwood toured North America with Rod Stewart
as part of the “Live the Life” tour. In 2014, Winwood
toured North America with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

Group work
In 2003, Winwood released a new studio album, About
Time on his new record label, Wincraft Music. 2004 saw
his 1982 song "Valerie" used by Eric Prydz in a song
called "Call on Me". It spent five weeks at #1 on the UK
singles chart. Winwood heard an early version of Prydz’s
remix and liked it so much, he not only gave permission
to use the song, he re-recorded the samples for Prydz to
use.[25]
In 2005, his Soundstage Performances DVD was released, featuring recent work from the About Time album along with prior hits including “Back in the High
Life”. Winwood also performed hits from his days with
Traffic as well as current recordings. In 2005, he accepted an invitation from 2008 Grammy Award winner
Ashley Cleveland to appear on her album Men and Angels Say. This album of rock, blues and country arrangements of well known hymns includes “I Need Thee Every Hour”—which features a vocal duet and organ performance. Christina Aguilera features Winwood (using the
piano and organ instrumentation from the “John Barleycorn” track, “Glad”) on one of her songs from her 2006
record Back to Basics, called “Makes Me Wanna Pray”.

In 1994, Capaldi and Winwood reunited Traffic for a new
album, Far From Home, and a tour, including a performance at Woodstock '94 Festival. That same year, Winwood appeared on the A Tribute To Curtis Mayfield CD,
recording Mayfield’s "It’s All Right". In 1995 and 1996,
Winwood released Reach for the Light for the animated
film Balto. In 1997, Winwood released a new album,
Junction Seven, toured the US and sang with Chaka Khan
at the VH-1 Honors.[24] In 1998, Winwood joined Tito
Puente, Arturo Sandoval, Ed Calle and other musicians to
In July 2007, Winwood performed with Eric Clapton in
the latter’s Crossroads Guitar Festival. Among the songs
they played together were “Presence of the Lord” and
"Can't Find My Way Home" from their Blind Faith days.
Winwood played several guitar leads in a six song set.
The two continued their collaboration with three sold-out
nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City in
February 2008.[26] On 19 February 2008 Winwood and
Clapton released a collaborative EP through iTunes titled Dirty City. Clapton and Winwood released a CD and
DVD of their Madison Square Garden shows and then
toured together in the summer of 2009.[27]

Early life
Stephen Lawrence Winwood was born in Handsworth,
Birmingham. His father, Lawrence, a foundryman by
trade, was a semi-professional musician, playing mainly
the saxophone and clarinet. Young Winwood became interested in swing and Dixieland jazz as a boy and started
playing drums, guitar and piano. He first performed with
his father and older brother, Muff, in the Ron Atkinson
Band at the age of eight. Winwood was a choirboy at St
John’s Church of England, Perry Barr. He later admitted

he was still young the family moved from Handsworth
to the semi-rural suburb of Kingstanding at the northern
edge of the city.[7]

Stevie Winwood (1970)
Sonny Boy Williamson II, Eddie Boyd, Otis Spann,
Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley on their United Kingdom
tours, the custom at that time being for US singers to
travel solo and be backed by pickup bands. At this time,
Winwood was living on Atlantic Road in Great Barr, close
to the Birmingham music halls where he played. Winwood modelled his singing after Ray Charles.[7]
Winwood joined the Spencer Davis Group at age 14,[9]
along with his older brother, Muff, who later had success as a record producer. Steve’s distinctive high tenor
singing voice and vocal style drew comparisons to Ray
Charles.[10] At the end of 1965 the group had their first
number one single with "Keep On Running"[11] and the
money from this success allowed Winwood to buy his
own Hammond B-3 organ.[7]
Career
Early years
While he was still a pupil at the Great Barr School,[8]
Winwood was a part of the Birmingham rhythm and
blues scene, playing the Hammond B-3 organ and guitar,
backing blues singers such as Muddy Waters, John Lee
Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King,
During this time Winwood joined forces with guitarist
Eric Clapton as part of the one-off group Eric Clapton
and the Powerhouse. Songs were recorded for the Elektra
label, but only three tracks made the compilation album,

What’s Shakin'. Winwood co-wrote and recorded the hits
"Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm a Man" before leaving
the Spencer Davis Group. Winwood met drummer Jim
Capaldi, guitarist Dave Mason, and multi-instrumentalist
Chris Wood when they jammed together at The Elbow
Room, a club in Aston, Birmingham.[12] After Winwood
left the Spencer Davis Group in April 1967, the quartet formed Traffic.[13] Soon thereafter, they rented a cottage near the rural village of Aston Tirrold, Berkshire
(now Oxfordshire) to write and rehearse new music.[12]
The period at the cottage proved important in the band’s
development.[14]
Early in Traffic’s formation, Winwood and Capaldi
formed a songwriting partnership, with Winwood writing music to match Capaldi’s lyrics. This partnership was
the source of most of Traffic’s material, including popular
songs such as "Paper Sun" and "The Low Spark of HighHeeled Boys", and outlived the band, producing several
songs for Winwood and Capaldi’s solo albums. Over the
band’s history, Winwood performed the majority of their
lead vocals, keyboard instruments, and guitars. He also
frequently played bass and percussion up to and including
the recording sessions for their fourth album.
2.2
Blind Faith and Traffic
CAREER
Blind Faith’s opening act Delaney & Bonnie & Friends—
Clapton left the band at tour’s end. However, Baker, Winwood and Grech stayed together to form Ginger Baker’s
Air Force. The lineup consisted of 3/4 of Blind Faith
(without Clapton, who was replaced by Denny Laine), 2/3
of Traffic (Winwood and Chris Wood, minus Capaldi)
plus musicians who interacted with Baker in his early
days, including Phil Seamen, Harold McNair, John Blood
and Graham Bond. However, the project turned out to be
just another short-lived one. Winwood soon went into
the studio to begin work on a new solo album, tentatively titled Mad Shadows. However, Winwood ended up
calling in Wood and Capaldi to help with session work,
which prompted Traffic’s comeback album John Barleycorn Must Die in 1970. In 1972, Winwood recorded the
part of Captain Walker in the highly successful orchestral
version of The Who's Tommy. He recorded a 1973 album
with Remi Kabaka, Aiye-Keta, for Antilles Records, and
in 1976 provided vocals and keyboards on Go, a concept
album by Japanese composer Stomu Yamashta. In 1976,
Winwood also played guitar on the Fania All Stars’ Delicate and Jumpy record and performed as a guest with the
band in their only UK appearance, a sold-out concert at
the Lyceum Theatre, London.
2.3 Solo career
Weariness with the grind of touring and recording
prompted Winwood to leave Traffic and retire to sessioning for some years.[16] Under pressure from Island
Records, he resurfaced with his self-titled first solo album in 1977. This was followed by his 1980 hit Arc of a
Diver (which included his first solo hit, "While You See a
Chance") and Talking Back to the Night in 1982. Both albums were recorded at his home in Gloucestershire with
Winwood playing all instruments. He continued to do
sessions during this period, and in 1983 he co-produced
and played on Jim Capaldi's top 40 hit "That’s Love" and
co-wrote the Will Powers top 20 hit "Kissing with Confidence".
In 1986 he moved to New York. There he enlisted the
help of a coterie of stars to record Back in the High Life in
the US, and the album was a hit. He topped the Billboard
Hot 100 with "Higher Love", and earned two Grammy
Awards: for Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal
Performance. Winwood embarked on an extensive tour
of North America in support of the album.[17]
All these albums were released on Island Records. However, at the peak of his commercial success, Winwood
moved to Virgin Records and released Roll with It and
Refugees of the Heart. The album Roll with It and the title track hit #1 on the USA album and singles charts in the

he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Berklee
College of Music to add to his honorary degree from
Aston University, Birmingham. On 28 March 2012 Winwood was one of Roger Daltrey's special guest stars for
“An Evening with Roger Daltrey and Friends” gig, in aid
of the Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall. In
2013 Winwood toured North America with Rod Stewart
as part of the “Live the Life” tour. In 2014, Winwood
toured North America with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

Group work
In 2003, Winwood released a new studio album, About
Time on his new record label, Wincraft Music. 2004 saw
his 1982 song "Valerie" used by Eric Prydz in a song
called "Call on Me". It spent five weeks at #1 on the UK
singles chart. Winwood heard an early version of Prydz’s
remix and liked it so much, he not only gave permission
to use the song, he re-recorded the samples for Prydz to
use.[25]
In 2005, his Soundstage Performances DVD was released, featuring recent work from the About Time album along with prior hits including “Back in the High
Life”. Winwood also performed hits from his days with
Traffic as well as current recordings. In 2005, he accepted an invitation from 2008 Grammy Award winner
Ashley Cleveland to appear on her album Men and Angels Say. This album of rock, blues and country arrangements of well known hymns includes “I Need Thee Every Hour”—which features a vocal duet and organ performance. Christina Aguilera features Winwood (using the
piano and organ instrumentation from the “John Barleycorn” track, “Glad”) on one of her songs from her 2006
record Back to Basics, called “Makes Me Wanna Pray”.

In 1994, Capaldi and Winwood reunited Traffic for a new
album, Far From Home, and a tour, including a performance at Woodstock '94 Festival. That same year, Winwood appeared on the A Tribute To Curtis Mayfield CD,
recording Mayfield’s "It’s All Right". In 1995 and 1996,
Winwood released Reach for the Light for the animated
film Balto. In 1997, Winwood released a new album,
Junction Seven, toured the US and sang with Chaka Khan
at the VH-1 Honors.[24] In 1998, Winwood joined Tito
Puente, Arturo Sandoval, Ed Calle and other musicians to
In July 2007, Winwood performed with Eric Clapton in
the latter’s Crossroads Guitar Festival. Among the songs
they played together were “Presence of the Lord” and
"Can't Find My Way Home" from their Blind Faith days.
Winwood played several guitar leads in a six song set.
The two continued their collaboration with three sold-out
nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City in
February 2008.[26] On 19 February 2008 Winwood and
Clapton released a collaborative EP through iTunes titled Dirty City. Clapton and Winwood released a CD and
DVD of their Madison Square Garden shows and then
toured together in the summer of 2009.[27]
