The great British bands of the 1960s generally began their careers by doing faithful cover versions of Black American singers. Every Little Bit Hurts was recorded by both the Spencer Davis Group and the Small Faces - from which we can conclude that Steve Winwood was a more convincing soul singer than Steve Marriott. And if you listen to this version of the song by The Jam you will conclude that both...

Here's a little respite from all the chaos unfolding in D.C. Step away from the TV and enjoy something the government hasn't screwed up (although not from a lack of trying): music. How about a little Traffic with an extended jam and some great riffs from Steve Winwood?

Vocals - Stevie Wonder and Steve Winwood Can I have two? Stevie Wonder is just the most amazing singer of all time so he has to be there.

Dan Levy / The700Level.com : Morning Extras: I'm Tired of the Chase — I'm tired of this. I'm tired of having to come up with some silver lining for the next two and a half weeks.
