Edgar Winter – The Artist
Edgar Holland Winter (born 1946) is an American multi-instrumentalist, working as a vocalist along with playing keyboards, saxophone, and percussion. His success peaked in the 1970s with his band the Edgar Winter Group and their popular songs “Frankenstein” and “Free Ride”. He is the brother of late blues singer and guitarist Johnny Winter. Winter composed and performed songs of numerous genres, including rock, jazz, blues, and pop. In late 1972, Winter brought together Dan Hartman, Ronnie Montrose and Chuck Ruff to form The Edgar Winter Group, who created such hits as the number one “Frankenstein” and “Free Ride” (with lead vocals by its writer Hartman).
Frankenstein – The Song
‘Frankenstein’ is an instrumental track by the American rock band Edgar Winter Group that was featured in the 1972 album They Only Come Out at Night and additionally released as a single. Frankenstein sold over one million copies. Coined by the band’s drummer Chuck Ruff, the song’s title came about from the massive editing of the original studio recording. As the band deviated from the musical arrangement into less structured jams, the song required numerous edits to shorten it. The final track was spliced together from many sections of the original recording. Winter also frequently referred to the appropriateness of the name in relation to its “monster-like, lumbering beat”. It was released as The Edgarv Winter Group and as Edgar Winter.
