I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
But for Spencer, would we have heard of Steve Winwood? Sad loss.

I never knew that his real name was Davies, like Ray and Dave pronounced Davis. R.I.P.!

Oh, man. I met him once, at a nightclub where he was performing with his band. Rest in peace, Spencer Davis.
Fun fact:
But it was with his eponymous rock group that he struck gold. Formed in 1963, The Spencer Davis Group featured Davis on guitar, a teenage Stevie Winwood on organ and vocals, his brother Muff on bass and Peter York on drums.
Originally called The Rhythm & Blues Quartette, they changed their name in 1964 when Muff pointed out that Davis was the only one who enjoyed doing interviews - the logic being that the rest of the band could slope off to the pub while he handled the press.

Welsh musician, who formed the band with Steve Winwood, scored hits like “Gimme Some Lovin'” and “Keep on Running”.
Spencer Davis, Welsh musician and founder of the Spencer Davis Group, died Monday while being treated for pneumonia in the hospital. He was 81.
Bob Birk, his booking agent for more than 30 years, confirmed Davis’ death to Rolling Stone. “He was a very good friend,” Birk says. “He was a highly ethical, very talented, good-hearted, extremely intelligent, generous man. He leaves behind his long-time domestic partner, June, and three adult children.

I'm not lazy. I just work so fast I'm always done.
Damn. Another sad day.
RIP Spencer Davis
