Keep on Running seems to have influenced the Allman Brothers.

Young Steve Winwood was a prodigy, reminds me of Young Stevie Wonder with such obvious talent at a tender age.

I really like their live-in-the-studio performance of "Pretty Woman", contained in the "Eight Gigs A Week" anthology. Exciting stuff - and great guitar playing!
That said, I don't like Stevie Winwoods vocal approach that much. Although clearly a great, great talent, I think his vocals often sound a little bit forced and over the top, as if he's acting or singing at the top of his range. Concerning his time with the Spencer Davis Group, it might have something to do with him being so young at the time, getting a little bit hysterical or putting on a performance,acting "like a real man".

On another relevant point , did anyone catch Clapton and Winwood on BBC4 last week, an hour long MSG concert edit .
