Wasn't Joe Cocker in Traffic? --67.42.33.65 11:11, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Nope. Check warr.org
No, but Steve Winwood played with Joe Cocker. Other members of Traffic may also have played with Cocker. 02.06.06 LT Munich, Germany
[edit] A couple of points
It may be the case that Traffic were influenced by The Band, but they 'got it together in the country' in April 1967, which is at the same time The Band moved into Big Pink, and certainly not an imitation of them. I've changed the wording here.
In addition, I've changed the date of the band forming to 1967. Winwood, Capaldi and Mason may have had a few jams in late 1966, but Winwood was still in the Spencer Davis Group until March 1967, and recorded and toured with them in early 1967. Traffic weren't officially unveiled as Winwood's next move until April 1967.
