The rest of the Spencer Davis Group fizzled out and then broke up without those two. They created the duo Hardin and York and had some success. In late 1968, he left the band and took the drummer Pete York with him. But also, it turned out he was a decent songwriter. He sang lead vocals, and his voice had more than a passing resemblance to Steve Winwood's. Sawyer didn't stay long, but Hardin was the key recruit. Most importantly, when he left in early 1967, along with his brother Muff Winwood, they were replaced by Phil Sawyer on guitar and Eddie Hardin on keyboards. But in putting together lots more BBC albums for this blog, I found out that the band still had merit without him. ![]() I figured that was it, because Winwood is a musical giant and was the chief attraction for me. Those dealt with the time Steve Winwood was a member, and lead singer, of the group. I already post4ed two albums of the Spencer Davis Group performing for the BBC.
