Songwriter: Pete York Steve Winwood Muff Winwood Spencer Davis

Producer: Chris Blackwell Jimmy Miller

I'm sittin' and thinkin'
Got nothing on my mind
I'm sittin' and thinkin'
Got nothing on my mind

Just want to know yeah the reason
You treated me so unkind

Oh baby yeah baby
Don't do that thing to me
Oh baby yeah baby
Don't do that thing to me

Well you know I like it baby
But don't you do that thing to me

The Spencer Davis Group

The Spencer Davis Group was a British rock band and part of the “British Invasion.” The are best known for their songs “Gimme Some Lovin'” and “I’m a Man,” and as the starting place for Stevie Winwood.

They were formed in 1963 in Birmingham, Wales by guitarist and singer Spencer Davis (b. Spencer Davies), with brothers Stevie (vocals, organ, piano) and Muff (bass) Winwood, and drummer Pete York. They began playing covers of American Blues and R&B, and quickly gained a following in the local music scene. They released their first single, a cover of the John Lee Hooker song “Dimples,” in 1965.

Later that year, they released their breakout single, “Gimme Some Lovin',” which reached #1 on the British charts. The song was notable for Winwood’s (who was only 19 at the time) soulful singing, which was so convincing the single was banned by several segregated radio stations in the US, who thought Linwood was black.
