Gimme Some lovin
"Gimme Some Lovin'" is a song first recorded by the Spencer Davis Group. Released as a single in 1966, it reached the Top 10 of the record charts in several countries. Later, Rolling Stone included the song on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs.
Bass player Muff Winwood about how the song was recorded:
We started to mess about with riffs, and it must have been eleven o'clock in the morning. We hadn't been there half an hour, and this idea just came. We thought, bloody hell, this sounds really good. We fitted it all together and by about twelve o'clock, we had the whole song. Steve had been singing 'Gimme, gimme some loving' – you know, just yelling anything, so we decided to call it that. We worked out the middle eight and then went to a cafe that's still on the corner down the road. Blackwell came to see how we were going on, to find our equipment set up and us not there, and he storms into the cafe, absolutely screaming, 'How can you do this?' he screams. Don't worry, we said. We were all really confident. We took him back, and said, how's this for half an hour's work, and we knocked off 'Gimme Some Lovin' and he couldn't believe it. We cut it the following day and everything about it worked. That very night we played a North London club and tried it out on the public. It went down a storm. We knew we had another No. 1."

ABOUT
Multiple Grammy Award winner Steve Winwood is a versatile musician. Whatever he does, it's never predictable. His restless, creative spirit explores American blues, English folk and West-African calypso and also flirts with rock and jazz along the way. He takes something from everything and moulds it into his own sound. As a teenager, he backed American blues artists who were touring in England. Later he achieved success with Traffic and the Spencer Davis Group. At the end of the sixties he formed the supergroup Blind Faith with Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Ric Grech. Afterwards, Winwood embarked on a successful solo career with hits like Higher Love. Eric Clapton has always remained a close friend and Winwood played on Clapton's new album Old Sock that was released last year. This fall Winwood will be touring with Rod Stewart. For his show in Rotterdam, Winwood is bringing with him Brazilian guitarist José Neto, among others.
