另外，steve winwood离开后，取代他位置的是Phil Sawyer（Fleur de Lys、Shotgun Express）
His ferocious soul-drenched vocals belying his tender teenage years, Stevie Winwood powered the Spencer Davis Groups three biggest U.S. hits during their brief life span as one of the British Invasions most convincing R&B-based combos.
Guitarist Davis formed the band with Winwood on organ, his brother Muff Winwood on bass, and drummer Peter York. Signing on with producer Chris Blackwell, the quartet got their first hit (the blistering Keep on Running) from another of Blackwells acts, West Indian performer Jackie Edwards. After topping the British charts in 1965, the song struggled on the lower reaches of the US Hot 100.
The groups two hottest sellers were self-penned projects. Gimme Some Lovin and Im a Man were searing showcases for the adolescent Winwoods gritty vocals and blazing keyboards and the bands pounding rhythms. Although they burned up the charts even on the other side of the ocean in 1967, the quartet never capitalized on their fame with an American tour. At the height of their power, Winwood left to form Traffic, leaving Davis without his dynamic frontman. The bandleader focused on producing other acts, including a Canadian ensemble called the Downchild Blues Band during the early 80s.
