Ageless Steve Winwood changed with each genre yet remained himself all along. Steve and Dave Mason performed and wrote “Feelin Alright” and my favorite song of all time “Can’t Find My Way Back Home”

Winwood wrote "I'm a Man" in 1967. It became a hit for Chicago Transit Authority in 1969.

I have been a fan from the beginning. Both Traffic and Blood Sweat and Tears. There are some good things about being older.. Not many, but some.

Steve Winwood started very young and has sustained multiple decades. Great talent.

On the suggestion of the record store owner i bought my first Traffic album low spark, the album was so good i then bought all their albums and liied them all, but low spark was my favorite until shoot out came out which i liked better, then when the eagle flies came out and became to this day my favorite album by them! A masterpiece! Winwood solo albums are all great also, with his first solo album being my favorite. What a band! Traffic was

I’ve always loved Winwood and the Berkshires. I never knew the connection. Thanks.

The low spark of high healed boys, will always be my favorite. It is so blues and rock. Tells the account of how music producers rip off not only money but the dignity of the musicians as well. Steve Winwood has had my heart since the first time I heard his music.

I saw Traffic at Woodstock ‘94. It might have been the best performance all Weekend.

Rock would not have been as interesting without Steve Winwood.

I am thrilled and proud that I never heard or knew of what Christina did to "Glad." I apologize, I couldn't stay to the end of the video.

"Grateful Dead audiences who had never heard of Traffic". And what Grateful Dead audience would that be. I've been a few shows (only 50 or so -- so barely a novice), but I was never a show with an audience who "had never heard of Traffic". It's an absurd notion.
