Moving along in this afternoon's Music Interlude, I perused a number of Steve Winwood songs and came up with one I haven't heard before... It starts out a little slow, but boy does it take off!!! I believe you will really dig this one folks!!! So here is Steve Winwood performing "Dear Mr. Fantasy"!!!
Steve Winwood at the Crossroads Guitar Festival 2007
LYRICS:
"Dear Mr. Fantasy"
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad.
If it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad.
If it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years
Writer(s): Steve Winwood, Chris Wood, Jim Capaldi
I hope you enjoyed it!!!

Traffic, Live Santa Monica, Ca., 1972
Thank you my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Steve Winwood performing Dear Mister Fantasy. I have the original Traffic album it was released on Traffic's debut album 'Mr. Fantasy' - released in December 1967. The recording included group members Jim Capaldi, Steve Winwood, Chris Wood, and Dave Mason; however, Mason left the band shortly after the album was released.
