Title: RIP Spencer Davis
Post by: mopper_smurf on October 21, 2020, 10:17:14 AM
QuoteSpencer Davis, who as bandleader with the Spencer Davis Group topped the UK charts twice in the mid-60s, has died aged 81 while being treated for pneumonia in hospital.

The group, who formed in Birmingham in 1963 and also featured Steve Winwood, had hits including Gimme Some Lovin', Keep On Running, Somebody Help Me and I'm a Man. Along with a number of other early British pop groups, they helped popularise the sound of US blues and R&B in the UK.

 :cry: RIP


Loved the Spencer Davis Group. Without him we wouldn't have Steve Winwood, or Traffic, or Blind Faith.
