The song was written by Jim Capaldi and Steve Winwood.

He played Hammond B-3 organ and guitar, for touring blues artists like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley.
Winwood was an important member of The Spencer Davis Group (Age 15), Traffic, and Blind Faith (with Eric Clapton). He later had an extremely successful solo career.
Traffic was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
