"Gimme Some Lovin'" is a song first recorded by the Spencer Davis Group.
Released as a single in 1966, it reached the Top 10 of the record charts
in several countries. Written by Steve Winwood, Spencer Davis, and Muff
Winwood, "Gimme Some Lovin'" has been recorded by several rock and other
artists including Olivia Newton-John and a performance for the musical
comedy film The Blues Brothers (1980). Winwood later recorded a live
version of the song with Traffic for Welcome to the Canteen (1971).
Welcome to the Canteen is the first live album by English rock band
Traffic. It was recorded live at Fairfield Halls, Croydon and the Oz
Benefit Concert in the canteen of the Polytechnic of Central London,
on 3 July 1971 and released in September of that year. It was recorded
during Dave Mason's third stint with the band, which lasted only six
performances. In the band's native United Kingdom, the album was a
surprise flop, the first in a series of albums by the group that would
fail to make an appearance in the charts. In the USA, however, it was
a solid success, hitting #26 in the charts and yielding the edited single
"Gimme Some Lovin' (live)", which reached #68 in the Billboard Hot 100.
