Henry will be remembered for his hit “Ain’t Got A Home” in which the then nineteen year old parlayed his squeaky voice into a charting record for Argo Records. Argo was a division of Chicago’s Chess Records.

Happy Birthday to Chicago’s adopted son Muddy Waters, born McKinnley Morganfield on this date, April 4, 1913.
Morganfield was discovered and recorded in a sharecropper’s shack on the Stovall Plantation near Clarksdale, Mississippi by Alan Lomax in 1941. Two years later, McKinnley would pack his bags, change his name and seek his fortune in Chicago, as did so many of his Delta people did.
Happy Birthday to Chicago Blues Legend Muddy Waters.
