Considered to be the most influential blues bandleader of all time, guitarist and vocalist Muddy Waters transformed the soul of the Delta blues into the electric Chicago blues, leaving a recorded legacy that is one of the great musical treasures of the 20th century. Born McKinley Morganfield in Rolling Fork, Mississippi, he was first recorded by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress in 1941, launching a 30-year career that produced hits like "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Got My Mojo Working," and inspiring a legendary school of blues performers.
