Introduction

This section of the Johnny Winter Discography lists all of Johnny Winter recordings released on 7" Vinyl Singles

Record Company Number Song titles Remarks


Avoid Me / I've Gotta Cry Steve Highfield and Johnny Winter, recorded in April of 1964 in Johnny's hometown of Beaumont, Texas. Johnny and his band members harmonize on the part of the arrangement calling for "Avoid Me" to be sang right after I sang "Avoid Me." Johnny is playing a Burt Bacharach type guitar rhythm. About a week or so later, Steve Highfield returned to the recording studio with a trio of college girls who over-dubbed on the "I've Gotta Cry" side of the record Johnny played on with a "doo-oo-oo-oo.....ah.h.h..h" vocal choir-like background. (The sound was vintage early 60s.)



Frolic 45-1016 Gangster of Love /
Eternally
Red Label , By late Spring of 1964, his FROLIC record, "Eternally"/"Gangster of Love" was a local Houston hit. Steve HighfieldI had taken it to Garner State Park and used up a jillion dimes playing it over and over. Houston deejays monitored anything being played at the famous park for material to play in the local market, since Garner was an excellent "test" market. (Johnny's single would later be re-released on ATLANTIC RECORDS.) By mid-Summer of '64, my recording "Avoid Me" was installed on the Garner State Park juke box and became popular for a short while. Johnny's "Eternally" ended up on a "Memories of Garner State Park".
