For me hes not a great songwriter or singer for that matter but when in a band that he wasnt the leader there will be good results.

I think you hit the nail on the head for me with your comment, and I have never thought about it like that before. It is true that the band environment is better for him. On Youtube you can see Clapton on lots of clips where he is having some of these horrible "show-down" type things with other guitarists, and he always look so uncomfortable and doesn't play very well in them.
Slipkid: In my humble opinion - the concerts with Winwood are brilliant, so listen to them when you get the opportunity. Steve Winwood is a very honest and fantastic musician. Flexing muscle doen't seem to be an issue between them
