📅 April 28, 1973

Frankenstein hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1973. The single was certified Gold by the RIAA for selling over one million copies. It remains one of the most successful rock instrumentals in music history.

Did You Know? • The song earned its title because the original studio recording was so long that the band had to cut and paste the physical master tape together, much like Dr. Frankenstein’s monster. • Edgar Winter revolutionized live performance by being one of the first artists to put a strap on a keyboard, allowing him to play the synthesizer like a guitar. • This track is one of the few instrumentals to ever reach the top spot on the US charts during the 1970s.
