About The Spencer Davis Group in brief
The Spencer Davis Group were a British rock band formed in Birmingham in 1963. Their best known songs include the UK number ones “Somebody Help Me” and “Keep on Running” Steve Winwood left in 1967 to form Traffic. The band ceased to be active in 1968. Davis refounded the group on two more occasions, without the involvement of the Winwood brothers, first in 1973–1974 for two more albums, and again from 2006, since when they have primarily been a touring act. Davis died on 19 October 2020, effectively ending the band. The group starred in The Ghost Goes Gear, a British musical comedy film, directed by Hugh Gladwish, and also featuring Sheila White and Nicholas Parsons.
The song was originally recorded by the Dutch group Tea Tea, which included John Hynes, Nigel Olsson, John Funky, Dave Murray, and Nigel alumnus. After the group’s last minor hit was released at the same time by Ratt, the German band The Tea Tea led to a stop to all activities of the band, and it was effectively a temporary stop to the band’s activities. After this, the group splintered into a number of smaller groups, including the Funky Funky Band, which produced the solo album FunkyFunky, which was recorded by Ray Fenwick.
