The Edgar Winter Group! “Frankenstein!”

"Frankenstein" is one of the most famous instrumental Rock songs by The Edgar Winter Group! It hit the top of the charts in 1973. It got its title because of the intense editing that went into the song; it became a monster when it was pieced together in the studio.

Says Winter: "When we were editing it in the studio, back in those days when you edited something, you physically had to cut the tape and splice it back together, so it was all over the control room, draped over the backs of chairs and the couch. We were making fun of it, trying to figure out how to put it back together, saying, ‘Here’s the main body; the leg bone’s connected to the thigh bone…. ‘Then Chuck Ruff, my drummer, says, ‘Wow, man, it’s like Frankenstein.’ As soon as I heard that, I went, ‘Wow, that’s it!’ The Monster was born.”
