King's Coronation Concert: Who is Steve Winwood and what songs is he famous for?

Musical icon Steve Winwood took to the stage on Sunday, May 7, to serenade the newly crowned King Charles III during his much-anticipated Coronation Concert - and fans everywhere were delighted. While some viewers may not know who he is or his place in music's history, a plethora of viewers were ecstatic to learn that the Higher Love singer would be performing a few numbers, claiming it would be one of the night's highlights.

The 74-year-old had hits across the 60s, 80s and 00s and was member of many rock bands over his more than 50-year career. Some of his well known hits include Keep On Runnin’ and Gimme Some Lovin’. During tonight's concert, the rock star performed Higher Love with the virtual Commonwealth Choir - and it seems the royals were enjoying it with members nodding along and Charles looking as if to say 'Wonderful man'.
