I'm primarily thought of as a rocker, and certainly 'Frankenstein' had a very dramatic power rock image. It was almost a precursor of heavy metal and fusion. But I also love jazz and classical and if there's one common thread that runs through all my music, it is blues.

Edgar Winter

I liked the more sophisticated urban style of blues like Ray Charles and B. B. King, Bobby Blue Bland, Lou Rawls; people like that with more of a tendency toward jazz.

Edgar Winter

I hadn't realized the number of people that are still interested in listening to what I am doing, people I would never know about if not for being online.

There's a bootleg album that was recorded when I was 14 or 15, a compilation of things live at different clubs. Songs like Girl from Ipanema and Cry Me A River. I don't know what the title of it is.

When I was first starting out, you'd have to bang an old upright piano and stick a mike in it and it would always feed back and you could never turn it up loud enough to be heard and I would beat my hands black and blue and bloody.

Edgar Winter

I can't imagine anything more worthwhile than doing what I most love. And they pay me for it.

Edgar Winter

We started out when I was 6 years old. We played ukuleles and sang Everly Brothers songs.

The most profound, tangible influence in my life has been my wife, Monique. I don't know that I would even be alive were it not for her, and I certainly would not be the person that I am today.

Edgar Winter

I get really tired of hearing of all these old rockers whine and complain about how hard life on the road can be. Just stop if you don't like it. I don't think of it as work. I love it all.

Edgar Winter

So yeah, I am definitely a blues man at heart.

Edgar Winter

I just want to thank all my fans for their loyalty and support-for coming out to the shows and buying the CDs.

Edgar Winter

There is a real formula to writing music, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge. It's very formulaic. The subject matter that you can address in pop music is somewhat restricted. It just doesn't allow that same emotive quality that you can put into poetry.

Edgar Winter

I believe that blues and jazz are the two uniquely American contributions into music.

Edgar Winter

I think The Doors are one of the classic groups, and I think we're all tempted to feel like the time in which we grew up was somehow special, but I really do believe that there were two golden eras in music: The Forties and Fifties of big band, jazz and swing, and the Sixties and Seventies of rock. To me, they're really unparalleled.

Edgar Winter

Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together.
