The shock of hearing "Gimme Some Lovin' " -- its raging organ, tribal rhythm and impossibly raw vocal -- was equaled only by the discovery that teenage singer Steve Winwood was from Birmingham -- the English one. "Steve had been singing, 'Gimme some lovin',' just yelling anything," said bassist-brother Muff. "It took about an hour to write, then down the pub for lunch."
