[Encyclopedia Brown]

Steve sounds Like Ray Charles.

Steve sounds Like Ray Charles.

I don't think Winwood sounds like Ray Charles. They both have distinct voices though.If we can include his Traffic and Blind Faith days my favorite would be Dear Mr. Fantasy.

The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys

Correct

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

I don't think Winwood sounds like Ray Charles.

Really?Winwood's career was built on his uncanny ability to mimic Ray Charles.

 

[pyite76]

The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys

this is the right answer.

 

[popeye]

other - Can't find my way home (Blind Faith)

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

John Barleycorn Must Die

Then Low Spark of High Heeled Boys

 

[otello]

It's "While You See a Chance"

The correct answer is "Night Train."

 

[Hov34]

Voted "Arc of a Diver" but "Spanish Dancer" should have at least been on the list.

 

[zamboni]

John Barleycorn Must Die

Then Low Spark of High Heeled Boys

Agreed, but doesn't seem right to mix in Traffic (or Blind Faith or Spencer Davis) with the solo stuff.If we're only talking solo, I'd go with "Arc Of A Diver".

 

[ffldrew]

Love his version of Timmy Thomas' "Why Can't we Live Together"

Off his penned solo work - I like Night Train a lot.

Agreed, but doesn't seem right to mix in Traffic (or Blind Faith or Spencer Davis) with the solo stuff.If we're only talking solo, I'd go with "Arc Of A Diver".

JBMD is one of the top 10 albums of all time. I think I would have to go with something he penned himself, tho. I love every cut on that album. For a single song, I'd have to go with Low Spark, but the rest of that album pales to Barleycorn.

High-Heeled Boys has anthemic status with me cuz it was played over & over at the parties surrounding our HS graduation. Love it, but always preferred "Can't Find My Way Home", from Blind Faith.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys

Correct

I vote this one.

 

[Mystery Achiever]

I've been listening to Winwood songs today and figured I'd check and see if you did one of these, EB, which I apparently missed. I can't decide, so, for now, am adding some good ones not in the poll or mentioned.

Groups- Paper Sun; Glad (I guess this is a cheat, but my favorite Traffic song, and he does play on it)

Solo- Talking Back to the Night, Spy in the House of Love

When it was new, I had a bit of the instrumental from The Finer Things on my answering machine greeting.

 

[eoMMan]

Crazy to think this guy went on to own all those Vegas casinos. He's so loaded.
