Biografía

McKinley Morganfield, better known as Muddy Waters (April 4, 1915 - April 30, 1983) is a poster boy for Chicago blues. His career spanned over thirty years and he produced what are considered to be some of the finest blues songs ever, such as "Hoochie Coochie Man", "Mannish Boy" and "I Want To Be Loved". Muddy Waters is generally considered one of the greatest bluesmen of all time, and in 2004 he was ranked #17 in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Waters lived near a river called "Deer Creek". In his childhood he often played in the dirty water. That's how he got his name "Muddy Waters" Muddy Waters is the father of blues musician Big Bill Morganfield. Early life Waters was born McKinley Morganfield in Issaquena County, Mississippi in 1913 (He later told people that he was born in 1915 in Rolling Fork, Mississippi; the reason for this remains unknown). His grandmother Della Grant raised him after his mother died in 1918. His fondness for playing in mud earned him his nickname at an early age. Waters started out on harmonica but by age seventeen he was playing the guitar at parties and "fish fries", emulating two blues artists who were extremely popular in the south, Son House and Robert Johnson. "His thick heavy voice, the dark coloration of his tone and his firm almost solid personality were all clearly derived from House," wrote Peter Guralnick in Feel Like Going Home, "but the embellishments which he added, the imaginative slide technique and more agile rhythms, were closer to Johnson." Early career In 1940 Waters moved to St. Louis before playing with Silas Green a year later and returning back to Mississippi. In the early part of the decade he ran a juke house, complete with gambling, moonshine, a jukebox and live music courtesy of Muddy himself. In th
