My introduction to him while in HS in Philly was this song.  Even put this in one of my mixtapes.  Still have the vinyl and thank you WMMR.  One of the best ever terradio stations.

The meaning and message in this song had an immediate and lasting effect on my thinking that for a song, may have had the greatest impact on how I have viewed life going forward from that point in time.  More than even anything Dylan ever wrote about.

This could be in the “what makes me feel old” category. 

Welsh musician, who formed the band with Steve Winwood, scored hits like “Gimme Some Lovin” and “Keep on Running”

Spencer Davis, Whose Band Was a Hitmaker in the ’60s, Dies at 81

“Gimme Some Lovin’,” “I’m a Man” and “Keep On Running” made the rock group, from Britain, famous and launched the career of its lead singer, Steve Winwood.

At KCPR where Justine and I were, albums would have stickers on them from the Music Director telling something about the band or what songs to play, etc. (when they were new)... the sticker on the first VH album the handwritten sticker just said "The Pride of Pasadena!"

The pride of my hometown, Pasadena! Crossed paths with Eddie many times on their way up. Cool guy and humble considering his stature around town. R.I.P. Eddie you touched the world.

These things usually come in 3's. 2020 seems to be delivering in 6's and 9's.

Good times...

Then The Who and the dopes in Cincinnati screwed everything up and eliminated general admission for the most part.

When that band played Billings frickin' Montana and I was 17, oh, man. I don't think I've ever participated in a frenzy like that. I'm a big guy, and about 5 or 10 feet from the front rail, and from the crush from behind, there were several minutes where my feet were off the ground. I can't imagine what the people up against the rail were experiencing but people die in situations like that. 

It was awesome.
