Both brothers Edgar and Johnny are Albino both legally blind and both insanely talented. Unfortunately we may never see this level of musicianship again, nobody will put in the effort required!

You need to see the version of "Frankenstein" by the Edger Winter Group that was done in 1973. 9 minutes long, and one of the best Instrumentals, ever, bar none. The reason for the name, from my understanding, is that the Group recorded so many different pieces of music, and spliced it together. They literally Frankensteined the song together.

God put so much talent in them boys, He didn't leave room for melanin.

I’m so happy you enjoyed this. Edgar is on organ, sax and vocals. Johnny on lead guitar. This is Johnny’s blues band. Edgar leaned more towards rock for most of his music. 😅

@katrinacash6393 3 years ago (edited)

Edgar plays multiple instruments. A great video showcasing that is his own group doing their song "Frankenstein" live. It's an amazing piece of music and the performance is definitely on another level! ps. Johnny Winter's height is listed as 5'3" so objects in the mirror are larger than they appear. 😂

I’m SO glad I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s….
God didn’t give the winter brothers melanin. He gave them crazy amounts of talent

Yes, they are both Albinos and legally blind (sunlight is cruel to the skin and eyes). So they were mostly kept inside and learned to play. Their father (who is from Mississippi) played in churches and learned from Gospel and Blues. Both are Icons and musical genius. Black music, Gospel, Jazz, and Rock & Roll were their lifeline to the world. When you say White Guys....these guys are white. Great people, loved by millions.

SOOO much talent in the Winter brothers. Frankenstein is something you MUST check out - all instrumental... but it's an entire story. LOOONG, but so worth it.

best electric blues song ever

@vicprovost2561 3 years ago

Yeah, it is NUTS! And when this was made, we had a classic album come out almost every week. With 50 years of retrospect, my generation won the musical lottery by being around when the best musicians in many decades came together to produce music like this. And it kept on coming, from many, many artists.

"Frankenstein"

@haplogan 1 year ago

Johnny and his younger brother Edgar Winter were nurtured at an early age by their parents in musical pursuits. Both were born with albinism and couldn't go outside in the sun and were legally blind. Their father was a Mississippi native. John Dawson Winter Jr. was also a musician who played saxophone and guitar and sang at churches in the South. Both played multiple instruments. Johnny was a blues/rock guitar Icon, and Egar was simply a genius at everything he touched. Thanks for putting these guys on; it's greatly appreciated.

Johnny and Edgar Winter so fantastic. So soulful. So genuine. Such authentic blues geniuses. And they rock like there’s no tomorrow.

@bobhoffman9848 3 years ago

Johnny Winter was one of the greatest blues guitarists in history. He played at Woodstock and had a decades-long career. His brother Edgar Winter is an amazingly talented multi-instrumentalist. He even played saxophone for Meat Loaf in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” (Meat Loaf sang and pretended to play). Johnny and Edgar had their own bands with different styles, but on occasion they would play together. Listen to Johnny on “Highway 61” for incredible slide guitar. For Edgar, you can’t beat the live version of “Frankenstein.”

Johnny and Edgar Winter were albino musicians from Beaumont, Texas. My cousin's husband was in a band with them in the mid-1960's. If you notice both of them keep their eyes closed while they are onstage.
