Chess Records was located on the south side of Chicago. In 1947, it began recording blues music with Muddy Waters and Little Walter. This eventually gave birth to rock and roll in 1955 with Chuck Berry. Record producer Leonard Chess had an ear for this different type of music and believed he could cash in by signing up new talent such as songwriter, Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf, and Etta James. Chess made all of his artists part of his family and took care of them. This wasn't easy, however, since they spent a small fortune on booze, drugs, and the high life. Chronicles the exiting and turbulaent lives of some of America's greatest musical legends from the late fifties and early sixties.
