Muddy Waters 100

Muddy Waters was born 100 years ago today (April 4, 2013). He was known as the father of modern Chicago blues, and rock 'n' roll wouldn't have been the same without him.

Muddy was born in Mississippi back in 1913.

His birth name was McKinley Morganfield, but his grandmother gave him the nickname 'Muddy' because as a kid, he loved playing in the Deer Creek mud along the Mississippi River. MORE HERE & HERE
