In the 1940s, in perhaps one of the greatest strokes of fate in rock and roll history, John and Edwina Winter—their real last name—gave birth to two sons with albinism.
They encouraged both sons—Johnny and little Edgar—to pursue musical pursuits.
The era of their birth, their albinism, and their nurtured talents paved the way for them to become mega stars in the glam rock scene in the 1970s.
