The Spencer Davis Group - Im A Man
Review by AGS, Ltd.
The Spencer Davis Group's album "I'm a Man" is a classic example of 60s British rock. Released in 1967, the album features the band's signature blend of blues, R&B, and rock and roll, with a heavy emphasis on Hammond organ and Steve Winwood's powerful vocals.
The album's title track, "I'm a Man," is a high-energy cover of the classic Muddy Waters song, and it sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "Gimme Some Lovin'," which features a driving beat and catchy chorus, and "Strong Love," a soulful ballad that showcases Winwood's impressive range.

R I P Spencer Davis... remember hearing it at the Twisted wheel before it was demolished in 2013.. top hammond organ ???
When this song came out, my young self responded immediately. I heard an undertone of sexuality to it and I fell hard. I still feel it.
HE AND DAVID CLAYTON THOMAS FROM "BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS" BOTH HAD THE SAME GREAT GRITTY LEAD VOICE. WHAT A TALENT !
One hell of a song
I've Always Loved This Song & Have It On a Compilation CD & Often Dance Along My Kitchen Floor To It ??? I Have VERY Fond Memories Of Dancing To Their 2 Number 1's In Mr M's https://youtu.be/pK0DbgovWZo
https://youtu.be/7O-Y8zQ1RAQ
Even Now @ The Ripe Old Age Of 64 I Would Dance To This Song If It Was Ever Played In a Club (Post COVID Of Course) ? KTF ❤

Remember reading a Beach Boys interview where Carl Wilson was raving about this record, but upon putting on the 45, edited US pressing, was so disappointed and annoyed at how bad it sounded by comparison, that he snapped it in half!
The United Artists US release was cut drastically short!
And there's whiskers on my chin
And I'm all hung up on music
And I always play to win
I ain't got no time for lovin'
'Cause my time is all used up
Just to sit around creatin'
All that groovy kind of stuff
But I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
But I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
Well, if I had my choice of matter
I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter
Movin' where our minds are at
And relatin' to each other
Just how strong our wills can be
I'm resisting all involvement
With each groovy chick we see
Well, I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
But I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
I got to keep my image
While suspended from a throne
That looks out upon a kingdom
Full of people all unknown
Who imagine I'm not human
And my heart is made of stone
I never had no problems
And my toilet's trimmed with chrome
I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so, no no
I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
