Soon the world fell in love with the tough spirit of Muddy Waters.
This tenacious streak carried Muddy from the hardscrabble fields of Mississippi to the smoky juke joints of Chicago and finally to a recording studio where a landmark record was made.
And when record producers told him no one wanted to listen to a country boy playing country blues, Muddy ignored them as well.
When Grandma Della said the Blues wouldn\'t put food on the table, Muddy didn\'t listen.
Muddy Waters was never good at doing what he was told.
