U No Wat Eye'm Sayin?

Richard Carr 03.01.2021

Statement on the passing of Spencer Davis: I’ve known Spencer since I was about 13he would have been about 22. I was playing a show at Birmingham University w...ith my brother and his band. Spencer, who was a student at Birmingham, was playing with a small group of musicians. We met and the the seeds of The Spencer Davis Group were sown. Spencer was an early pioneer of the British folk scene, which, in his case embraced folk blues, and eventually what was then called Rhythm and Blues. He influenced my tastes in music, he owned the first 12-string guitar I ever saw, and he was taken with the music of Huddie Lead belly Ledbetter, and Big Bill Broonzy. I’d already got a big brother who influenced me greatly, and Spencer became like a big brother to me at the time. He was definitely a man with a vision, and one of the pioneers of the British invasion of America in the sixties. I never went to the U.S. with Spencer, but he later embraced America, and America embraced him. I feel that he was influential in setting me on the road to becoming a professional musician, and I thank him for that. Thank you, Spencer. - Steve Winwood
