William James "Willie" Dixon (July 1, 1915 – January 29, 1992) was a

American blues double-bassist, vocalist, songwriter, arranger and record

producer. His songs, including "Little Red Rooster", "Hoochie Coochie

Man", "Evil", "Spoonful", "Back Door Man", "I Just Want to Make Love to

You", "I Ain't Superstitious", "My Babe", "Wang Dang Doodle", and "Bring

It On Home", written during the peak of Chess Records, 1950–1965, and

performed by Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter, influenced a

worldwide generation of musicians. Next to Muddy Waters, he was the most

influential person in shaping the post World War II sound of the Chicago

blues. He also was an important link between the blues and rock and roll,

working with Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley in the late 1950s, and his songs

were covered by some of the biggest artists of the more recent times,

including Bob Dylan, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Foghat, The Yardbirds, The

Rolling Stones, Queen, The Doors, The Allman Brothers Band, the Grateful

Dead, and a posthumous duet with Colin James. [more:
