"Gimme Some Lovin' " #7 2/25/1967

These guys already had two #1 hits in the UK, but this was the breakthrough single in the US for the Spencer Davis Group. It featured 17-year-old Steve Winwood on that screaming Hammond B-3 organ plus lead vocals. The band was named after their guitarist because he was the only member who liked doing press interviews. Winwood went on to join Traffic and Blind Faith and had considerable solo success in the 80's. This version is an alternate mix, with a slightly different lead vocal and omitting the female background singers.
