Howlin' Wolf
Howlin' Wolf (born Chester Arthur Burnett) was an American blues singer, guitarist, and harmonica player who died in 1976. He was a prominent figure in electric Chicago blues, noted for a deep, raspy vocal delivery, commanding stage presence, and a raw, amplified band sound that emphasized guitar, harmonica, and driving rhythm. His recordings and performances helped shape postwar urban blues and influenced later blues and rock musicians.
