It was April 4, 1913, in Rolling Fork when McKinley Morganfield, better known as Muddy Waters, was born. With his colloquial and rough voice and his slide guitar, he managed to transport the blues from the Delta plantations to the streets of Chicago. His band featured some of the greatest blues talents, and many generations of artists have been influenced by his compositions: Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, and so on.
