I was first exposed to the smooth voice and stellar piano playing of Steve Winwood through my father. Winwood was part of a number of great groups in the 60's and 70's like Traffic, Blind Faith, and the Spencer Davis Group. He (in fact) even played organ on the Hendrix classic "Voodoo Chile."
That's fine and well, but the music my dad exposed me to was (mainly) Steve Winwood's solo stuff. The songs are flowing with melody and despite sounding somewhat dated because of the synths and drum sounds, all the songs below are (IMHO) classics. If you are looking for a place to start your Winwood collection, check out his greatest hits collection called Chronicles

What? You weren't around when he was playing with Traffic? Dude, you're a poseur. I'm telling everyone that you're one. The gig is up! Confess to Maximumrocknroll!

Seriously, Steve's one of those aritsts where I know his solo material way more than his group efforts.
