| Late blues legend who moved to Chicago in 1932, and worked as a Chess Records session player. As well as writing blues classics ("Hoochie Coochie Man" and "I Just Want to Make Love to You" for Muddy Waters; "Wang Dang Doodle" for Koko Taylor; and "Back Door Man" for Howlin' Wolf) he also worked as a talent scout for the Chess Brothers. Rock musicians including Led Zeppelin ("Whole Lotta Love"), the Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix recorded Dixon tunes and now -- after his 1992 death from heart failure -- a blues museum in his honor has been started.
