Drummer, Chuck Ruff never gets the respect he deserves.

This song has always been on the radio and still is to this day, just a masterpiece.

For those who don't know, that's a young Rick Derringer on guitar. There's another version out there with a young Ronnie Montrose as well - it's the one with all the psychedelic effects added to the video. Edgar introduced us to a LOT of talent!

I was 21 in 1973 and I can tell you WE GOT IT. It was the creation of Frankenstein - rock version. This was called Progressive Rock. This was the time of rock operas, concept albums, etc. Way beyond the junk that's been around so far in the 21st century.

I'm glad you enjoyed this group Red. Yes, it did get quite a bit of radio play actually! Now you need to listen to he and his brother together doing Tobacco Road. In this song you also get to hear his vocals as well as instrument playing. Tobacco Road is an old blues song that gets a facelift. 😁There is a video of them doing the song in what seems to be a very small venue... almost like a small bar.

Dan Hartman on bass he was unreal HATS OFF TO HIM RIP SIR

If you enjoy them I highly recommend the original Black Sabbath! Tony, Geezer, Bill and Ozzy they know how to make music Talk to you! You will enjoy it!

The Dawn of the Synth produced some fairly great musicians that knew how to groove with it. This group was up there with the finest.

Edgar Winter, Dan Hartman, Rick Derringer....what could go wrong?

The Old Grey Whistle Test aired in BBC2 in the UK from 1971 till 1988. It always featured musical performers playing live. No lip synching was allowed.

Music from those days was so amazing. There were no limits or boundaries and your hear it all on the radio.

I've seen this a hundred times, and heard it on the radio 1000 times more, and it never stops being awesome.

Edgar is still playing in his 70s, he's currently on tour with Ringo Starr.

At least you can see what I grew up with. Edgar and his brother Johnny were in high school with me. I played bass but wasn’t on their level.

Edgar and his brother Johnny have another jaw-dropping performance doing Tobacco Road, also live. Johnny plays blues guitar, and Edgar sings and scats his butt off and plays a real piano. Classic!!!

This is the only #1 song without words...

Edgar was a pioneer in music. He created that weird keyboard thing. Frankenstein indeed!

I remember back in the 70's my buddy picking me up before we went to high school and every morning this was the first song we played in the car to wake us up and get us going!

I saw this performed live at Madison Square Garden back in '73 or '74, was amazing, unforgettable.

I turned 23 in 1973 and this was one of the best songs to listen to in a "slightly altered" state. Not endorsing you listen to it that way yourself, of course!
