Frankenstein: How the monster was born

[themechanic]

Terrific interview with Edgar Winter about how the song Frankenstein by the Edgar Winter Group came to be the only rock instrumental to ever top the charts.

Tubular Bells never topped the charts? How about Popcorn or Classical Gas??

I am not sure myself, but Mason Williams, (Classical Gas), did quite well for a spell. I just googled it & it said it hit #2 on the pop charts and made #1 on the easy listening charts for 3 weeks!

Talking about Rock. Not smooth jazz, pop or others. He mentioned the other instrumentals and their charts in the video.

Because I am at work, I didn't get a chance to watch it; but I will shortly, Thanks.

Just watched the video, thanks. It was excellent! I saw Edgar Winter live back in the late 70's. Rick Deringer helped out on Frankenstein. They did the dual drum thing as well. Awesome! I have a special place inside me for the Frankenstein monster. He was my childhood hero, misunderstood and cast out; a loner and a victim; but don't get him riled up or watch out! I could identify with that. I would emulate him and somehow summon strength that I normally didn't have. Weird!
Rock is my favorite music; all kinds: Regular, Hard, Heavy Metal, Progressive, Country, etc....You name it. I am half deaf because I continue to blast it while driving & at home!

I don't recommend anyone else waste any time listening to that.
