- Great Collection
To get an overview of the music Steve Winwood's been involved with, you have to look at the bands he's been in and the influence they've had.

That's all captured here in an outstanding collection of songs. I think you could debate what to add and what to leave out, but you can't argue that Winwood is an outstanding musician who has been quenching our musical thirsts for years.

- The most original Winwood collection on the market
Steve Winwood. He has a legendary rock and roll voice, and there's nobody quite like him. And, in 2000, he was awarded a collection in UMG's '20th Century Masters' series.

- A MUST HAVE LIST TOP 10
I got this today and I disagree with the other reviewers this right here is a good compilation it consists of 11 songs written and sung by Steve Winwood from the '60s to the early '70s you must have this there is not a bad song on here . Steve Winwood performed each song at least once during his tours from 2003-2006

- Good selection, title misleading
When you first see this cover in the record shop bins, you are fully expecting a collection of Winwood's solo work from 1977-87, prior to being wooed away to Virgin. You turn it over and discover the tracks are his best-known works with the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic and Blind Faith, and limited to the period 1966-72. It's not really surprising that Universal would do this; the compilers at Universal are not the music lovers who used to run the labels over which the company now has jurisdiction, ... Read More
