To really appreciate it, you have to watch them performing it live.

Watched him play in a bar in Jacksonville, Florida back in the ‘80s. He started to play Frankenstein and got about a third of the way into it and told the bad to stop. Then he spent about 15 minutes getting his shoulder-slung keyboard to sound the way he wanted it and started again.

It sounded the same to me both times, but, I’m no quirky musician...

I always got Edgar confused with his brother Johnny.
Both were Albino Rockers.
Edgar’s Frankenstein was ART. It became one of his signature songs.

The article also mentions Paul McCartney’s song “My Love”.
This too was quite good in it’s own way.
What caught my attention and held it was that very first captivating note. Listen to it yourself. You’ll see what I mean. I don’t know enough about music to say what key it was in. I think it was a trumpet or perhaps synthesizer.
That one butter-mellow extended note set the mood for the rest of that song. It was like stepping through a door that just appeared before you.

I first heard this song on AM radio as a teenager in northern Minnesota.
There were no local modern rock stations, so I had to wait until the sun went down so I could tune in WLS Chicago...ahh, the good old days.

Trivia:

Classmate of mine, Floyd Radford - very good guitarist - played with Edgar Winter (White Trash - not They Only Come Out at Night), but played more with Johnny Winter. There is some youtube video of him on stage with Johnny in Europe.

I saw Edgar Winter in 1973. This was back when he was still using the ARP 2600. I have seen him since when he was using more modern keyboards to cover the parts but it doesn’t have the same sound or vibe.

What a talented artist. Underrated.

I saw Edgar Winter with Leon Russell playing in a bar in 1988. One of the best shows ever

I got to see Rick Derringer and Edgar Winter together in Myrtle Beach in 1990 at a little beach bar.

The reason they called it “Frankenstein” was because in the old days you cut and spliced recording tape together, and they had to cut it into hundreds of pieces and they were all running around getting them in the order they wanted and splicing them together.

If that’s the studio version that’s Ronnie Montrose and Dan Heartman on guitar and bass. Quite a line up.
