Although primarily a blues guitarist, Johnny Winter admitted to hating the period when he recorded a few albums of rock 'n' roll. The musician believed he had sold out by betraying his blues roots.
Performing at the Woodstock music festival was Johnny Winter's first major gig.
With increasing illness, Winter could only perform live whilst sitting down.
Several times during his career, Johnny Winter played his own version of the Rolling Stones song "Jumping Jack Flash" during concerts.
