At the age of 15, he formed a band and released a single on a local label. In 1968, he released "The Progressive Blues Experiment" as a solo artist on Sonobeat Records. The following year, in 1969, after a bidding war among several record companies, he signed with CBS/Columbia and made his major debut with his first album "Johnny Winter" and second album "Second Winter". After performing at Woodstock, he gained charismatic popularity with masterpieces such as "Johnny Winter And" in 1970 and "Still Alive and Well" in 1973. He then moved to Blue Sky and released "John Dawson Winter III" in 1974, a rock-oriented album that marked a turning point in his career. In 1977, he produced Muddy Waters' comeback album "Hard Again" and won a Grammy Award. In April 2014, he made his third visit to Japan, demonstrating that he was still in good health, but passed away in Switzerland in July of the same year. Two months later, his album "Step Back" was released and won the Grammy Award for Best Blues Album the following year.
