by William RuhlmannBritish drummer, singer, and songwriter Jim Capaldi was a member of Traffic in their two incarnations, from 1967 to 1968 and from 1970 to 1974. He frequently collaborated with bandmember Steve Winwood, writing the lyrics to many of Traffic's best-known songs. Capaldi recorded his debut solo album, Oh! How We Danced, during a hiatus in the group in 1972, and scored a U.S. singles chart entry with "Eve." He turned to his solo career full-time after Traffic's demise and earned a U.K. Top 40 hit with "It's All up to You" (1974) and two more U.S. chart hits in 1975 with "It's Alright" and a remake of "Love Hurts" that also hit the U.K. Top Ten. He charted with his second and third albums, Whale Meat Again and Short Cut Draw Blood. But he had to wait until 1983 to score another LP hit with Fierce Heart and its chart singles: "That's Love" and "Living on the Edge." Winwood guested on the album. Capaldi returned to the charts with his Some Came Running album in 1988. In 1994, Capaldi and Winwood reformed Traffic for an album and a tour.
