"Give It Everything You Got" by Edgar Winter Group

The younger brother of blues artist Johnny Winter, Edgar starting racking up some hits with his group in 1972 when "Keep Playin' That Rock 'N' Roll" landed at #70. Their breakthrough hit would arrive shortly thereafter when the classic "Frankenstein" made its way to #1. During its tenure, Winter would work with a number of talented artists who later had successful musical careers of their own.

The Edgar Winter Group scored another hit with "Free Ride," which peaked at #13 in 1973. The song was penned by member Dan Hartman, who wrote or co-wrote their remaining chart appearances. 

Following some personnel changes that put guitarist Rick Derringer (The McCoys) front and center, the group managed one more Top 40 entry before the end of their chart career - that was when "River's Risin'" reached #33 in 1974. Ronnie Montrose was also a member of the group from 1972-1974.

The genre-blending anthem "Give It Everything You Got" comes from the band's 1971 effort, "White Trash." After his group's hey day, Edgar Winter did a great deal of session work for artists as diverse as Tina Turner and David Lee Roth.
