keep on running

Seventeen year old little Stevie Winwood had his first number one song with his brother Muff in the Spencer Davis Group. Island impresario Chris Blackwell asked Jamaican singer-songwriter Jackie Edwards if he had anything that the band could record. Steve Winwood reworked the ska tune into a rock sound using a fuzzbox effect on the guitar. Blackwell produced the single with a loan from Scala Brown Associates obtained by offering a large share of the Island label as security. With the success of the song, he was able to pay off the loan without losing the shares.
