Muddy Waters was one of the greatest, most influential and enduringly important musicians of the century, one who has revolutionized the course of the Blues Music genre, and set it on a new path, during the years following World War II. Through the influence he exerted on so many others who followed in his trailblazing wake, his music became a yardstick by which all others have been and continue to be measured. By completely altering the sound, the substance and the very character of all modern popular music, Muddy Waters' exalted place in the history of music is undisputedly and eternally assured.
