Young Steve Winwood

I thought I heard Steve Winwood singing in a Kaiser Permanente commercial last night. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t him, but whoever the singer was they sounded just like him. But it got me thinking about when Winwood was young, spaced out, and kind of badass. Here he is — with Chris Wood and Jim Capaldi — in 1968 at 20 years old.  Notice he’s playing the bass parts with his left hand.
