American blues guitarist and singer. Born on February 23, 1944 in Beaumont, Texas, USA. Died on July 16, 2014 in Zurich, Switzerland. Like his younger brother Edgar Winter, he was afflicted with albinism, meaning he was legally blind, and had 20/400 eyesight in one eye and 20/600 in the other. But he made an iconic life for himself by playing the blues. He battled alcoholism and drug use over the years.
