Released: August 26, 1966

Songwriter: Steve Winwood Jackie Edwards

Producer: Chris Blackwell

I gave you my heart
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Now you're tearing it apart

You wrote me a letter
You found someone better
Better than me
This I can't believe

When I come home
Tell me all about it
When I come home
Tell me all about it

I work all day
Earnin' my pay
Work all night
To make you feel all right

When I come home
Tell me all about it
When I come home
Tell me all about it

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.
