R.I.P.
Was just coming in to post this. An amazing musician. When I saw him with his brother and Rick Derringer a year or two ago, he was really ailing. He needed two people to walk him out and prop him on a chair. When he faltered, Rick took over like the class act that he his.

This speaks volumes of Johnny's musical integrity:

Throughout his career, Johnny Winter was dogged by bootleg recordings and unauthorized re-releases of singles from his early pre-Columbia Records days. According to one biographer, only about fifteen percent of Winter's commercially-available recordings are legitimate, leaving 85 percent that he had no control over. Some of the releases were doctored with later overdubs by other musicians. Royalties were not Winter's primary concern, "I just don't want that bull**** out ... It's just bad music". The following lists Johnny Winter's official albums.
