Steve Winwood first captured the public's imagination as a teenage prodigy with the Spencer Davis Group in the mid-1960s, churning out hits like "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm a Man."

Alongside fellow luminaries like Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood, and Dave Mason, Traffic melded rock, jazz, and folk elements into a fluid and compelling sound, yielding classics such as "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys."
