Oh my what a talent, and from such a young age he was just killing it. Yes, a white kid that had incredible soul and groove oozing from his heart. I saw Traffic many times. Winwood was a fantastic keyboard and very underrated guitar player. Never mind some fine lyrics over the years too. Solo career has sadly flown under the radar lately, but he still sings his ass off and remains a solid player. Saw Stevie and his band open for Petty a few years ago in Chicago and Winwood really got the crowd going, or at least those of us that were there that knew and respected his massive catalogue. If Winwood is playing in your area do yourself a favor and go check it out.
One of the all time greats imo.

Was this from Crossroads II? I kinda recognise Derek's shirt. Great day - wicked sunburn!

In my opinion, the idea that Winwood opens for Tom Petty is ludicrous.

But IIRC Jimi Hendrix once opened for the Monkees.
It's all for the money.
