American blues guitarist, singer and composer, Muddy Waters was born on April 4, 1913 in Rolling Fork, Mississippi. He is considered a founder of the modern Chicago Blues style and became the most prominent interpreter of the electric blues. His powerful influence inspired the emergence of electric blues-oriented groups in the UK during the '60s. Inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, his legacy continues to shape and define blues music.
Muddy Waters was a father figure to many influential musicians including [a4092559], [a1965346], and [a10232473]. Sadly, one of his children passed away on December 10, 2020 at the age of 56.
Despite some discrepancies regarding his birth year and place, Muddy Waters' impact on music remains undeniable. His talent and contributions have solidified him as an iconic figure in American blues history.

On November 22nd, 1981, in the middle of their mammoth American tour, the Rolling Stones arrived in Chicago prior to playing 3 nights at the Rosemont Horizon. Long influenced by the Chicago blues, the band paid a visit to Buddy Guy’s club the Checkerboard Lounge to see the legendary bluesman perform. It didn’t take long before Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Ian Stewart were joining in on stage and later Buddy Guy, Junior Wells and Lefty Dizz also played their part.
