Biography by William Ruhlmann

Blues guitarist Johnny Winter became a major star in the late '60s and early '70s.

Since that time he's confirmed his reputation in the blues by working with Muddy Waters
and continuing to play in the style, despite musical fashion.

Born in Beaumont, TX, Winter formed his first band at 14 with his brother Edgar in Beaumont,
and spent his youth in recording studios cutting regional singles and in bars playing the blues.

His discovery on a national level came via an article in Rolling Stone in 1968,
which led to a management contract with New York club owner Steve Paul
and a record deal with Columbia.

Yea his younger brother Edgar was pretty good too and probably sold more records to boot.
They both were pretty good for "White" guy's.

Johnny also led a band called "White Trash" with Rick Derringer and Jimmy LeCroix(spell). His brother took over the band when Johnny had health issues. I believe they were the second white act to play the Apollo.
