    Johnny and his brother Edgar had the most extreme form of Albinism. As youths, if they got out at all in the daylight they would burn very fast. Like 2nd degree burns. So they spent a lot of their childhood in the basement of the house. Their parent bought them like every musical instrument you could think of, and both boys mastered all of them. They were two phenomenal musicians!
    Johnny went more Blues Guitar and Edgar went more Keys and Synth, but they could both play almost anything.

      ​​​​@@garethhawkins4710 was paid 600.000 $ in 1969 by Columbia to join their label and here'a a fun fact about his debut album
      Bill Josey, who owned Sonobeat Records, had recorded a live show at the Vulcan Gas Company in Austin so Johnny would have a demo to shop for a major label. However, Josey released that performance as Progressive Blues Experiment on his own label. But before the ink had dried on Johnny’s Columbia contract, Josey sold the LP to United Artists. This album is still one of Johnny’s best-selling and most highly acclaimed releases, but the artist never saw a penny. 'Bill Josey had the tapes and he got the money,' Johnny says. 'Even now when they sell that CD, I don’t get any money.'”

    Sebs, firstly than your sub for this. I was at that concert and I have seen him over 20 times in my life and he always put on a fantastic show. His true love was the Blues which he did later in his career. No one like him, you should listen to "3rd Degree" or "Sweet Poppa John" among many others . It's a crime that more reactors don't react to his music be it the Blues or his Rock stuff.

He produced those 70's albums for Muddy Waters - Hard Again (aptly named), I'm Ready, and King Bee, plus Muddy Mississippi Waters Live, that helped recharge his career earning several Grammy awards. He was a blues/guitar master, and the older brother of Edgar Winter. One of the all time greats!

      When Johnny had been big enough, long enough, that he didn't need to care about the labels, he finally put out the blues album he had always wanted too. It was amazing!

    Johnny and his bro Edgar were albino and grew up in hot Texas. They didn’t go outside, instead they learned to play music .. very well. Frankenstein by Edgar is instrumental classsic.

    Johnny was paid 600.000 $ in 1969 by Columbia to join their label and here'a a fun fact about his debut album
    Bill Josey, who owned Sonobeat Records, had recorded a live show at the Vulcan Gas Company in Austin so Johnny would have a demo to shop for a major label. However, Josey released that performance as Progressive Blues Experiment on his own label. But before the ink had dried on Johnny’s Columbia contract, Josey sold the LP to United Artists. This album is still one of Johnny’s best-selling and most highly acclaimed releases, but the artist never saw a penny. 'Bill Josey had the tapes and he got the money,' Johnny says. 'Even now when they sell that CD, I don’t get any money.'”

    His hair is "blonde" because both he and his brother Edgar are albinos. 55 years ago, I used to listen to the 3 sided double album (yes it was a double album with only 3 sides. They didn't have any more to record and they didn't want to lose volume by squeezing it on one lb) where Winter plays the studio version of Johnny B Goode. I used to be into photography and I would spend hours in the darkroom as a teenager with Johnny Winter on full blast on my portable record player.

In this case, someone whose entire knowledge of Chuck Berry is Back to the Future? And the fact that you could watch Back to the Future and not get the joke?

    As a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan you should check Ally Venable, a young Texas (like Johnny Winter and SRV) singer guitarist who credits SRV as the reason she learned guitar. She does a tribute to SRV and has toured with and/or played with Buddy Guy, Joe Bonamassa, Kenny Wayne Sheppard among others. Ally is the next generation of blues guitarists. Her latest album spent three weeks at #1 on the Bliiboard Blues charts.

    As everyone else in the comments is saying, you also need to check out Jonny's brother Edgar. Sometimes they played together and sometimes they played in separate bands. But you also need to check out Rick Derringer who played with both Johnny and Edgar. Especially listen to Rick Derringers's playing on "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo", "Frankenstein", and his guitar solo on Steely Dan's "Chained Lightning". And speaking of Steely Dan, check out Larry Carlton's solo on "Don't Take Me Alive" and check out Steve Gadd's drum solo over Wayne Shorter's sax solo in Steely Dan's "Aja".

    I went to every Johnny or Edgar Winter ( and several times, Johnny with Edgar, and his band White Trash) concert in Detroit from 1970, opening for Three Dog Night, with The Small Faces, as second act, until about 1975. Saw him twice later, with Muddy Waters, and James Cotton (Harmonica legend). Muddy Waters was a blues legend, when B.B. King was a disc jockey. One of the pioneers of Electric slide guitar, along with Elmore James (the originator of " One Way Out", made famous by the Allman Brother's cover on "Live at the Fillmore," and more recently covered by Larkin Poe, the "Little Sisters of the Allman Brothers". Check out Johnny's cover of " Help Me", or "Mean Town Blues" if you want to hear some wild slide guitar! 😎👍
