I have one of those Dads that suburban legends are made of. Handsome, athletic, successful, witty, charming, intelligent and above all, affectionate with his seven children. He formed unique relationships with each of us, and he and I bonded through our love of music. I was shy and sensitive, unlike my rough-and-tumble older brothers, and probably got a little more affection. Dad often stayed up late reading and listening to his favorite music after everyone had gone to sleep. When I was little, I'd sometimes sneak out of bed and poke my face into the living room, waiting for him to notice me. He'd give me a big grin and I'd scurry to the couch and cuddle next to him, drifting off to sleep listening to great bands like this. He's 85 years young and is still my rock, my idol, my hero.
Traffic was one of my Dad's favorite bands. I can remember being a little girl listening to the radio outside with Dad while he worked on a car, or fixed something in the garage. He just passed on April 3rd. Listening to classics like this brings me to tears but it's also helping me heal and remember the good times. Love you Dad.
I was born in 1956, so "Thankful" for having grown up in the best generation of music ever. We had so many great bands, musicians, & songs in the 60's and 70's. And I am not talking a few good bands, I am talking hundreds !!! If you grew up in the 60's & 70's then ya know what I am talking about đđ»
This is one Traffic jam I don't mind being stuck in....
Saw a guy today at Church whoâs T-shirt said âI may be old, but I saw all the cool bandsâ. Amen to that.
Doesnât matter what brought you here. Maybe you grew up with it; maybe you saw Endgame; maybe you had a cool uncle. Iâm just glad youâre here. Keep looking. Thereâs lots of bad ass songs out there.
I was 18 when this came out in the summer of 1972. We thought this kind of music would last forever. We were so lucky to grow up at that time.
For the love of god, can the 70âs please come back.
Thank you MCU for introducing me to this masterpiece. Even after 4 years has already passed, this song never vanished on my to go playlist of 60s-70s classic rock.
Can you believe Winwood wrote this when he was 20 years old? I remember being 20 and hadnât done sh** in my life. Truly an immeasurable talent by any standards
From 72 my wife's 72 we still enjoy this song you never too old
I just turned 39 last month. Please bring back this kind of music. Most music today is not music at all. It's crap. I want more of this, something I can get lost in and feel like my worries are gone just for a few minutes.
I'm 67 going on 68 in January and man have I had a great live experience. Should of been rich but I had that ole philosophy of helping others so I always worried about others and didn't do it so much for me. I feel good. I feel Great! I am happy for my life experience and appreciate all the great music that made me make it to where I am today. Still broke but happy!
My dad passed last night and i woke up this morning and the radio randomly turned on and this was the song that played⊠I love you dad..
I am oldâŠand right now I am drunkâŠbut, as a child of the 60âs, this is one of the greatest songs ever written. Gives me goosebumps and good memories.
steve winwood at his best
Can't imagine how many joints have been smoked and rolled to this tune over the years! đ

Steve Winwood was only 17 when he sang this, the year was 1967.
