Howlin' Wolf
Comment:
Born Chester Arthur Bennett in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, Howlin' Wolf deserves to have his likeness on the Mount Rushmore of Rock 'n' Roll, alongside those of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard. When he plugged in his guitar — an instrument taught to him by the legendary Charlie Patton — he flat-out invented the electric blues. Meantime, the Rolling Stones had a hit with his "The Red Rooster," Cream covered "Spoonful," Led Zeppelin "Killing Floor," the Yardbirds "Smokestack Lightnin'," and the Doors "Back Door Man." If you're wondering where your favorite music would be without Howlin' Wolf, trust us, you're not alone.
