"Roll with It" is a song recorded by #SteveWinwood for his album #RollWithIt, released on #VirginRecords. It was written by Winwood and long-time collaborator #WillJennings.

Junior Walker and the All-Stars, Anthology, 1974 on Motown
While many folks only know Walker and the All-Stars via their first and biggest hit, “Shotgun,” this 2xLP release collects recordings from 1965-1973 – good way to get to know more of their catalog.
Motown issued a whole series of Anthology releases in the mid-seventies – mostly 2xLP releases of collections from their best selling artists – and I’ll grab them whenever i find them in good shape at a reasonable price. (Record store owners and collectors sometimes have a preference for all the original records rather than these collections – but I enjoy them).
