Damn. This guy has been a rock star for 56 years and he's 72 years old, and he still gets down cooler than 99% of 20 year olds.

@Adrian Peters dental work is really important at all ages, especially those who ended up in a accident ( for example) and lost theirs , i cant deny that my generation missed quite abit of great music which grooves like hell even in 2022 however there is no excuse to not do ones homework and listen to oldies but goldies.

Got a chance to meet this guy through work recently, and guess what? Not only is he a super talented musician. He is also a really nice down to earth human being.
I've met a few famous musicians before. Steve was hands down the most gentile and coolest of them all.
Mr. Winwood, I salute you!
