gimmie some lovin'

When the Spencer Davis Group finally broke through in the US with this soulful raveup, they were so glad they made it. Steve Winwood, Spencer Davis, and Muff Winwood wrote the song very quickly. Muff recalls, "Steve had been singing, 'Gimme some lovin',' just yelling anything. It took about an hour to write, then down the pub for lunch." The song borrows from the riff from '(Ain't That) A Lot of Love' by Homer Banks. The versions released in the US and the UK were slightly different; but were both hits making it to number seven and number two respectively.

Hey!
Well my temperature's rising
And my feet left the floor
Crazy people knocking,
'cause they want some more.
Let me in baby,

So glad you made it

Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' everyday.

Hey!
My head's a-spinning
And I'm floating to sound
Too much is happening
'cause you're not around
It's been a hard day
And nothing went too good
I'm gonna relax
Like everybody should

'cause the place is on fire.
Better stop baby
I have so much to do.
