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.

Muddy Waters' presence was that of a king among blues guitarists, his style simple, but deeply rooted in the traditions of the Mississippi Delta that other singers and guitarists found almost impossible to imitate convincingly. On 'Sings Big Bill', Waters' electric recasting of Big Bill Broonzy's acoustic numbers is incredibly effective. The guitar work is earthy and throbbing, and never superfluous.
