  10. The Blues

    After this day, Chicago blues--and by extension the popular music of the last half of the 20th Century--would never be the same. McKinley Morganfield, a.k.a. Muddy Waters, already was famous as the singer and guitarist most responsible for bringing the acoustic Delta Blues of his native Mississippi into the modern electrified era, after arriving in Chicago in 1943. And with artists such as Waters leading the way, Chicago already had become the city most closely identified with the electric blues in the postwar era, a reign that would continue through the 1950s and 1960s with such giants as Howlin' Wolf, Otis Rush, Junior Wells and Magic Sam.
