Texas blues icon Johnny Winter, who rose to fame in the late 1960s and `70s for his energetic performances and musical collaborations including with childhood hero Muddy Waters, has died. He was 70.

His representative, Carla Parisi, confirmed Thursday that Winter died in a hotel room in Zurich a day earlier. The statement said his wife, family and bandmates were all saddened by the loss of one of the world's finest guitarists

I loved him on "Hollywood Squares" and in "The Russians Are Coming. The Russians Are Coming."

How about on his show when he would go up to his attic and do improv with all the stuff up there?
