His songs formed the basis for the blues from the late 40s onwards, and carried over into rock. When Willie Dixon wrote his autobiography he elected to name it `I Am the Blues'. Any other person claiming such a title would be thrown to the wolves but with Willie Dixon you just can't argue with his claim. Willie Dixon's writing not only lit the night fires in 1950s Chicago's South Side, where he was Chess Records' outstanding house writer and resident bassist, but his handiwork burned a smoke hole in the spectacular British Invasion five to ten years later - an aftershock bigger than the original earthquake.One by one, 1963 Blighty bands turned to his catalog as an R&B launching point, until.
