Steve Winwood : The best jazz R'n'B album of them all. I was at secondary school in Birmingham when I first came across it. We didn't have a record player back then, but we did have an eccentric uncle who built a refrigerator, knitted a stair carpet, and made a tape recorder, which he gave to us. We would record music played on Jazz Hour on the American Forces Network, and Ray Charles came on. I had never heard anything like it.
