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.

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.

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'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

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

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!

Edgar Winter's White Trash was Edgar's first official band and then The Edgar Winter Group ,not Winters, with Dan Hartman and Rick Derringer and drummer Chuck Ruff that are very successful influential musicians ..

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.

[@VinE83656]

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

[@jasonremy1627]

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

[@rosshartley5807]

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!!!

[@richardgraves958]

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.

[@johnrussell6620]

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

[@bryantgyt]

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

[@RobertAWolf]

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!

[@paulstephens6761]

don't loose sight of the fact that this is now 50 years ago and I watched it LIVE on the old grey whistle test here in the uk on the BBC.

[@ronhall5395]

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

[@bobespirit2112]

Rock-and-Roll Hoochie Coo by the guitarist here, Rick Derringer, has gotta be next! I saw Rick in a small club in Indy in the late 80’s and he was absolutely brilliant!!
