Spencer Davis Group are a mid-1960s British beat group from Birmingham, England, formed by Spencer Davis with Steve Winwood
and his brother Muff Winwood. Their best known songs include "Somebody Help Me", the UK number one "Keep on Running" (both
of which were written by reggae musician Jackie Edwards), "I'm a Man" and "Gimme Some Lovin'", which peaked at #2 in the UK
and #7 in the United States.
Steve Winwood left in 1967 to form Traffic before joining Blind Faith and then forging a career as a solo artist. After releasing a
few more singles, the band ceased activity in 1968. They briefly reunited from 1973 to 1974 and Davis has since restarted a new
group in 2006.
