Bill Wyman (bassist, Rolling Stones) : Muddy Waters helped us unload some of our gear from our van.

The greatest thing about Chess Records wasn't the recording, or having Buddy Guy walk in, Muddy, and Chuck Berry coming and saying 'Swing on, gentlemen, you are sounding most well, if I may say so," and he knew he was going to make some money.
