Former Traffic guitarist Steve Winwood hit #1 on the Billboard 200 Album chart with his fifth studio album, Roll With It. It would be his only #1 album as a solo artist.
The album’s title track hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it spent four weeks. It was Winwood’s second and final solo chart-topper. He previously hit #1 with 1986’s “Higher Love.”
Several other singles were released from Roll With It, including “Don’t You Know What the Night Can Do?,” which was featured in a Michelob beer commercial, “Holding On” and “Hearts on Fire.”
The album went on to earn Winwood a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year, while the title track was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Performance.
