(27,856 posts)4. Fans of Howlin 'Wolf need to see the movie "Cadillac Records"
It's about Leonard Chess & the early days of Chess Records,
Artists such as: Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Willie Dixon, Etta James & later,
Chuck Berry
Howlin' Wolf is played masterfully by Eamonn Walker
Muddy Waters is excellently played by Jeffrey Wright
Beyonce Knowles plays Etta James ("At Last" won a Grammy)
Willie Dixon, (who wrote many songs for all of the above), is played by Cedric the Entertainer.

K&R a thousand times!
