He was with Spencer Davis Group as a young teen. His career has been incredibly prolific and has lasted an extremely long time. I am enjoying listening to him once again. Great musician!

He played in backing bands for a lot of travelling US blues musicians who travelled solo and picked up back up bands in the towns where they played before joining up with Spencer Davis.

Spencer Davis was putting the group together with Muff Winwood. Muff told him about his younger brother, brought him around and Spencer was smart enough to say "yes" and get out of the way.

I'd say the SDG tunes are still my favorite Winwood but man, could that kid sing! and play guitar! and organ! and piano! And he was like 15 or so when the SDG started up.
