Steve Winwood (vocals, organ, guitar, Spencer Davis Group) : The first person who ever played me any Junior Walker was Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones. When the Spencer Davis Group toured with the Stones in the beginning, I stayed 'round Brian's place in London and we got on great, playing records and talking music for hours. We'd also listen to Otis Redding, The Mar-Keys, all that great Memphis Stax-Volt stuff.
