Show Biz: Tuesday 05/12/09

*** Steve Winwood turned 61 on Tuesday. Always liked his stuff, whether it was with Traffic, Blind Faith, the Yardbirds, or his solo work.

I mentioned that he recently toured with Eric Clapton -- the two played together in the group Blind Faith -- and the 80's Escape song from Tuesday was Winwood's "Split Decision" from 1986.

The version below is with Clapton on guitar during their tour together from last year.

The studio version of the song features Joe Walsh on guitar, who also co-wrote the song.
