Muddy Waters

**Muddy Waters** (Rolling Fork, 4 april 1915 - Westmomd, 30 april 1983) berne as **McKinley Morganfield** wie in Amearikaanske blues muzikant dy't oer it algemien sjoen wurdt as de wichtichste fertsjintwurdiger fan de Chicago blues.

## Untstean fan de Chicago Blues
Doe't er 7 wie begûn er mûle-oargel te spyljen, dêr't er al gauris publyk mei luts. Doe't er 17 wie gong er oer op de gitaar, dêr't er mei op feesten spile. De earste opnamen fan Muddy Waters binne yn 1940 makke op in plantaazje yn de Mississippydelta troch Alan Lomax. Letter ferhuze Morganfield nei Chicago dêr't er fan de akoestyske op elektroanysk fersterke gitaar oerstapte en in ritmeseksje en harmoanika tafoege. Dêrmei ûntstie de klassike gearstalling foar de Chicago blues.

## Ynfloed fan Muddy Waters
Muddy Waters hie in net te ûnderskatten ynfloed op ferskate muzikale sjânres: fansels op de blues, mar ek op rhythm and blues, rock, folksmuzyk, jazz en country. Waters holp Chuck Berry oan syn earste platekontrakt.

De Rolling Stones ûntlienden har namme oan in nûmer fan Muddy Waters út 1950 "Rollin Stone" ek wol bekend as "Catfish Blues". De grutste hit fan Led Zeppelin, "Whole Lotta Love" wie basearre op Muddy Waters syn nûmer "You Need Love".
