Aguilera is the star of the song, obviously, but Winwood is no slouch himself. He began his musical career in the early 1960s at age 15 when he joined the Spencer Davis Group. The band had a couple of hits "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm a Man." throughout at the 60s and 70s, Winwood played with some of the biggest musicians of the time, including Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker and Eric Clapton. He was also a regular on the blues scene, playing with such legends as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King and T-Bone Walker.

In the 1986, Winwood released a solo album, "Back in the High Life," that went triple platinum. Two years later his album "Roll With It" topped the Billboard charts in the U.S.
