Winwood went from Spencer Davis Group and formed Traffic (did some with Clapton before then as well). Break up of Cream led to formation of Blind Faith. He then went back to Traffic after the only Blind Faith album.

Traffic is an extraordinary band. I am currently listening to the 4 CD Winwood compilation The Finer Things. One of my favorite collections.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(band)

Go was a rock supergroup formed in 1976 by Stomu Yamashta (percussion and keyboards), which also included Steve Winwood (vocals and keyboards), Al Di Meola (lead guitar), Klaus Schulze (synthesizers) and Michael Shrieve (drums). Go is the Japanese word for "five".

I saw him at the Fairgrounds in Dallas in 1989 ... he was amazing. .... and still is
