2. young Stevie Windwood was a gifted singer … joined the group at 15 (I think) & wrote this tune at 16

   … late bloomer, I guess 😉

   R.I.P. Mr. Davis … brought us some great blue-eyed soul music

6. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ: This “I’m a Man” is different than Bo Diddley’s “I’m a Man.” The Yardbirds did the Bo Diddley song: https://youtu.be/JAdCePtwoW4

7. OK.

   That’s enough for 2020. 2020 sucks. Period. Full stop.
   RIP 2020.

   Anybody else who dies this year, can we simply now take a moment to shrug and do a head shake?

   This year has worn me out.

    Year ain’t over.

    Yup. I am well aware and two Wednesday’s from now, when the left realize they have been rejected by America, 2020 is going to get even uglier for a spell until their tantrums subside.

    I would urge every IOTW reader to have a full tank of gas, have plenty of food for a few weeks, perhaps beer and liquor, and maybe ammo.

    These idiots are about to lose their minds.
    If that happens on my property their minds will be scattered across an open field.

11. The greatest compliment fellow musicians can pay to you is to do a cover, a superb rendition;

    It is my personal opinion that 1970 was the greatest year ever for pop music.

13. For years, I thought “Gimme Some a-lovin” was a MoTown hit. Spencer Davis could have easily be a black name

    Years later I discover the singer was not only white, he was a 15 year old kid!!

14. @PHenry – yep, we are a ‘preppin’.

    When you go shopping? Make sure you get ‘two cans of this, two cans of that’, etc. NON perishable, and not that moon food shit.

    Water
    Fuel
    Etc, etc,

    Twinkies?

15. I always enjoyed whatever Winwood did… wherever he did it,

    but this was good, too.
