“I’m a Man” is a song written by Steve Winwood and record producer Jimmy Miller. It was first recorded in 1967 by the Spencer Davis Group; Winwood sang lead vocals and played keyboards.
It has been recorded by many other performers over the years, most successfully by Chicago, whose version charted at No. 8 in the UK in 1970 and No. 49 in the US in 1971.
Chicago (then known as Chicago Transit Authority) recorded a cover version of “I’m a Man” for their 1969 debut album, The Chicago Transit Authority. When the band’s popularity surged after their second album, “I’m a Man” was released as the B-side to a re-release of “Questions 67 and 68”.
FYI: Jimi Hendrix thought Terry Kath of the band Chicago was a better guitarist than he was after seeing them perform at Whisky A Go Go in 1968.
