    It's an amazing version; he transcribed the guitar solo break for a horn section. He also covered Purple Haze, Sunshine of Your Love, and Ring of Fire on that album.

    Not a cover (cover this, sucka! ;) ), but another in the same vein of middle school memories

    Great song, this is definitely not a cover...but



    Little Stevie Winwood sang and played on: Spencer Davis Group, then Traffic, Clapton, Blind Faith, Jimi Hendrix Experience (he was also 'Captain Walker' on the Who's Tommy), Ginger Baker's Air Force, and others

    He was the epitome of whiteboy blue-eyed blues back then

    Then in the late 80's he busts out the album "Back in the High Life Again", which is post yacht rock, yacht rock to the max

    70's Chicago was the best Chicago, and Terry Kath was so, so great.

    "Should I try to do some more?
    25or6 to Four"

    His death is one of saddest and stupidest Rock&Roll endings I've ever heard of.

    Raylan Givens: Yeah I gave you the Linda Ronstadt back then [in high school baseball].

    Dickie Bennett: Huh?

    Raylan: Blew By You
