Spencer Davis

Sad to hear that Spencer Davis, lead singer of the 60s Spencer Davis Group has died of a heart attack at the age of 81.

He did some excellent songs... for those who aren't familiar with his work, this should jog your memory

Re: Spencer Davis

Sorry to hear that Judd, one of my favourites.
He wrote my theme song 'Keep on Running' and the keyboard in 'Gimme Some Lovin' (By Stevie Winwood) was outstanding.....Prompted me to build a synth.....It's still 'Work in Progress'.....
A sad Loss.....RIP.

Re: Spencer Davis

Slightly before my time but I am certainly aware of some great songs he left with us.

RIP

Re: Spencer Davis

Another part of the soundtrack of my youth. "Blues in F" by Spencer Davis was one of the numbers that first sold me on the blues. Sad day

Re: Spencer Davis

One of the very first records I bought, when you could get three 45s for a £1, was Keep on Running.

Sad news.
