Today 57 years ago, British beat band Spencer Davis Group, named after
its Welsh founder and guitarist Spencer Davis (who passed away 2 years ago,
aged 81) topped the UK Singles Chart with Somebody Help Me. A song written
by Jamaican musician Jackie Edwards.

The SDG was also the first band of superb teenage
soul vox Steve Winwood – only 16 at the time.

Trust me it feels so good to scream Somebody Help Me the day after a hangover.
