Johnny Winter - Discography (1969

Johnny Winter - Discography (1969 - 2014)

When Johnny Winter emerged on the national scene in 1969, the hope, particularly in the record business, was that he would become a superstar on the scale of Jimi Hendrix, another blues-based rock guitarist and singer who preceded him by a few years. That never quite happened, but Winter did survive the high expectations of his early admirers to become a mature, respected blues musician with a strong sense of tradition.

He was born John Dawson Winter III on February 23, 1944, in Beaumont, Texas, where his brother Edgar Winter was born on December 28, 1946; both brothers were albinos. They turned to music early on, Johnny Winter learning to play the guitar, while Edgar Winter took up keyboards and saxophone. Before long they were playing professionally, and soon after that recording singles for small local record labels. Both of them were members of Johnny & the Jammers, whose 45 “School Day Blues”/”You Know I Love You” was released by Dart Records in 1959. Other singles, either credited to Winter or some group pseudonym, were released over the next several years, including “Gangster of Love”/”Eternally,” initially issued by Frolic Records in 1963 and picked up for national distribution by Atlantic Records in 1964, and “Gone for Bad”/”I Won’t Believe It,” also a 1963 Frolic single that was licensed by MGM Records in 1965. Winter had his first taste of chart success with a version of “Harlem Shuffle,” recorded by the Traits, which was released by Universal Records, then picked up by Scepter Records and spent two weeks in the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1966. ― Allmusic
