John Dawson Winter III (February 23, 1944 – July 16, 2014) was an American singer, guitarist, songwriter, and record producer. Winter became known for his high‑energy blues‑rock albums, powerful live performances, and distinctive slide‑guitar style from the late 1960s into the early 2000s. He also produced three Grammy Award–winning albums for blues legend Muddy Waters, and later released several Grammy‑nominated albums of his own. He was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1988 and was ranked 63rd on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” in 2003.
Johnny Winter was born in Beaumont, Texas, on February 23, 1944. He and his younger brother, Edgar Winter, were encouraged by their parents to pursue music from an early age. Both brothers were born with albinism. Their father, John Dawson Winter Jr., originally from Leland, Mississippi, was also a musician who played saxophone and guitar and performed at churches, weddings, and community events. Johnny and Edgar began performing young; at age ten, Johnny appeared on a local children’s show playing the ukulele.
