The story
In 1947 Chicago, Leonard Chess, a Polish Jewish immigrant and bar owner, becomes interested in electric blues after hiring a band that includes guitarist Muddy Waters and harmonica player Little Walter.
His habit of rewarding successful artists with Cadillacs makes the label a symbol of opportunity, loyalty and conflict.
Willie Dixon, a bassist and songwriter, becomes a steadying presence at the label, helping shape the songs that define its sound.
