That's a 16 year-old Stevie Winwood cranking out that vocal.  Eat your hearts out you aspiring RnR teenagers!

Love it!  I didn't know either.  Just goes to show you, some stereotypes and prejudices really are bull shit.

I think of one thing when this song comes on, Iron Eagle.

Doug Masters: This is Iron Eagle, he's not being moved, what's the hold-up? 
Control tower operator: We are having trouble finding a jeep suitable for your, um, purposes. 
Doug Masters: Bullshit, you've got a whole country full of them! 
<pauses> 
Doug Masters: You just lost a refinery!

Steve  played the organ on this and my recollection is that he asked, quite seriously, that the fans treat him as a keyboard player, rather than the vocalist.

And Stingray, Spenser Davis was promoted as a rock musician who had a (gasp) B.A.
Imagine.

I have had a very stressful day - not bad, but full of serious decisions and outside influences.  I need me some down-time, and wow - here it is!  Gotta dance while I can.  Thanks, SDG - if I never walk again, I won't regret a single second of the music that rendered me crippled. {#Dancingbanana}

He was 15 when they formed the band, and 18 when this song was charting. Likely he was 17 when they cut the song 

And what's amazing is that, even at that tender age, he gets it. I'm still in awe—even 45 years later—at the vocal's ferocious passion.

Stevie was really young when he sang with Spencer Davis and this song is still a great one.  A great dance tune that also had bite.
