Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry, Etta James, and Bo Diddley, forexample -- some of the greatest artists who ever sang the blues -- madetheir mark with Leonard and Phil Chess, whose Chess Records wassynonymous with the sound that swept up from the south, embraced Chicagoand spread out into mid-century America.

Leonard and Phil worked hand-in-glove with disenfranchisedblack artists, and the intermittent charges of exploitation werebalanced by the reality of a common purpose that brought them fame.
