RIP Phil Chess

[chris_b]

I've just noticed Phil Chess died a few days ago.

With his brother, Leonard, he kick started rock music by employing Willie Dixon as a song writer and record producer and then signing the strongest roster of artists, including Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry to the Chess record label.

This was [i]ground zero[/i] for modern music.

Sad news.

Wow.. Sad news as you say, but what a legacy!

RIP

I used to own more than a few Chess records, as you say chris, there at the start. Got to respect him for that

RIP and thank you
