Winter has also made frequent television appearances, both to promote his music and to give his opinions, on shows such as Politically Incorrect. Major national television and radio campaigns have used Winter's music to advertise their products. Winter also kept busy doing session work, playing saxophone on ' Meat Loaf's "All Reved Up and Nowhere to Go", Dan Hartman's solo hit " Instant Replay", Tina Turner's " Simply the Best" and David Lee Roth's remake of " Just a Gigolo", as well as appearing on material by Rick Derringer, Johnny Winter, Ronnie Montrose, Todd Rundgren, Michael McDonald and many others. Later albums included Jasmine Nightdreams, The Edgar Winter Group with Rick Derringer, Together: Edgar Winter and Johnny Winter Live, Recycled, a reunion with White Trash, Standing on Rock, Mission Earth, Live in Japan, Not a Kid Anymore, The Real Deal, Winter Blues and Rebel Road. That album contained Winter's third and final Top 40 single "River's Risin '", again sung by Hartman. Īfter They Only Come Out at Night, Winter released Shock Treatment, featuring guitarist Rick Derringer in place of Ronnie Montrose. Winter invented the keyboard body strap early in his career, an innovation that allows him the freedom to move around on stage during his multi-instrument high-energy performances. It was certified gold in April 1973 by the RIAA, and double platinum in November 1986. Released in November 1972, They Only Come Out at Night, peaked at the number 3 position on the Billboard Hot 200 and stayed on the charts for 80 weeks.

In late 1972, Winter brought together Dan Hartman, Ronnie Montrose and Chuck Ruff to form The Edgar Winter Group, who created such hits as the number one " Frankenstein" and " Free Ride" (with lead vocals by its writer Hartman). It reached #111 on the charts, and 1972's follow-up album (partially recorded at New York's Apollo Theater) Roadwork achieved gold status. White Trash, with Winter and Jerry Lacroix both on lead vocals and sax, released the studio album Edgar Winter's White Trash, in 1971. Edgar followed Entrance with two hit albums backed by his group White Trash, a group originally composed of musicians from Texas and Louisiana. His early recording of " Tobacco Road" propelled him into the national spotlight. His critically acclaimed 1970 debut release, Entrance, was first to demonstrate his unique style of non-sequitir, genre-blending musicianship. Winter composed and performed songs of numerous genres, including rock, jazz, blues, and pop.
The Edgar Winter Group, Oct.1, 1975- L to R: Chuck Ruff, Rick Derringer, Dan Hartman, Edgar Winter.
