That album contained Winter's third and final Top 40 single "River's Risin '", again sung by Hartman. Īfter They Only Come Out at Night, Winter released Shock Treatment, featuring guitarist Rick Derringer in place of Ronnie Montrose. Winter invented the keyboard body strap early in his career, an innovation that allows him the freedom to move around on stage during his multi-instrument high-energy performances. It was certified gold in April 1973 by the RIAA, and double platinum in November 1986. Released in November 1972, They Only Come Out at Night, peaked at the number 3 position on the Billboard Hot 200 and stayed on the charts for 80 weeks.

In late 1972, Winter brought together Dan Hartman, Ronnie Montrose and Chuck Ruff to form The Edgar Winter Group, who created such hits as the number one " Frankenstein" and " Free Ride" (with lead vocals by its writer Hartman). White Trash, with Winter and Jerry Lacroix both on lead vocals and sax, enjoyed huge success, with the 1971 release of the studio album Edgar Winter's White Trash, which reached #111 on the charts, and with 1972's follow-up live gold album (partially recorded at New York's Apollo Theater) Roadwork. Edgar followed Entrance with two hit albums backed by his group White Trash, a group originally composed of musicians from Texas and Louisiana. His early recording of " Tobacco Road" propelled him into the national spotlight. His critically acclaimed 1970 debut release, Entrance, was first to demonstrate his unique style of non-sequitir, genre-blending musicianship. Winter composed and performed songs of numerous genres, including rock, jazz, blues, and pop. The Edgar Winter Group, Oct.1, 1975- L to R: Chuck Ruff, Rick Derringer, Dan Hartman, Edgar Winter.
