Without Leonard Chess, singers like Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry and Etta James wouldn't be prefroming artists.

Chess Records along with Sun and Atlantic epitomized the independent record business and he set new standards for artist development and networking. Evenmore, Chess Records was the repository of American blues music in the 50s and it also presented black music to white audiences.
