Who is Johnny WinterWhen 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.
Johnny Winter was 15 when he and his band, Johnny and the Jammers, released their debut single, School Day Blues, on a record label in Houston.In 1967, Winter recorded a single, Tramp, with the Traits, and then in 1968, he released his debut album, The Progressive Blues Experiment. In 1968, Johnny Winter had his big break. A performer by the name of Mike Bloomfield, whom Winter had met previously and done a jam session with, asked Winter to perform a song during his concert in New York City. Bloomfield was signed to Columbia Records who had representatives at the concert, and within a week they had Winter signed to their record label.
His first album with Columbia was Johnny Winter, released in 1969. One of the musicians on his album was younger brother Edgar. Winter and his group played at several rock festivals that year, including Woodstock, and in late 1969, recorded another album. Edgar left the trio and formed his group in 1970. After his departure, Winter formed a new band called, Johnny Winter And. Their name was also the name of their first album. Shortly after forming the group, Winter formed a heroin addiction. To his credit, he sought treatment, and by 1973, he was back performing again.
As a child, Johnny Winter dreamed of performing with Muddy Waters, a blues guitarist. In 1974, Winter was part of a group of musicians that came together to honor Waters with a concert. In 1977, Winter then recorded with Waters. In 1996, Winter and his brother sued DC Comics as there were two characters, Johnny and Edgar Autumn in the Jonah Hex: Riders of the Worm and Such series, which the brothers believed portrayed them in a very negative way. They lost the suit, as the court sided with DC Comics. Johnny Winter continued to record with several labels, and he continued to perform live throughout America and Europe. He played at many festivals including the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and the Chicago Blues Festival.
During his career, he released 19 studio albums, including Still Alive and Well (1973), Serious Business (1985), and Step Back (2014). He also released six live albums.
Johnny Winter was found dead in his hotel room on 16th July 2014. He had performed two days earlier. The official cause of death was not released, but unofficially it was said to be emphysema and pneumonia.
