Spencer Davis has died in hospital in California aged 81.
Spencer Davis, the multi-instrumentalist and leader of the band that bore his name, has died at the age of 81. The Spencer Davis Group recorded such hits as “Gimme Some Lovin’ ” and “I’m a Man.” Davis wasn’t the lead singer on either song though, giving that job to a teenage Steve Winwood.

RIP Spencer Davis. When I was in LA interviewing expat Brits for @VanityFair’s oral history of the British Invasion, he suggested that I catch a helicopter from Long Beach to his place on Catalina. He greeted me in a vintage MiniCooper, wearing flip flops. Sunniest Welshman ever. https://t.co/Resvoq7JAy

Oh no! I know it’s not much admired generally, but I love their duet. The orchestration is very sensuous.
