Willie Dixon argueably the best blues song writer there was

Im listening to the Chess Masters for Willie Dixon. He is by far my favourite blues song writer whose songs took Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Sonnyboy Williamson and many others to new heights. Without his music, I wonder if Led Zeppelin would have made it as big as they became. His impact on the blues although so profound was so very understated.

All I can say is, that I 100% agree. I did not know that he was a major song sontributor to Led Zeppelin. Or did they just remake a bunch of his songs, along the lines of how The Stones and Elvis remade quite a few old blues songs?

Led Zep did remake them but Wille is undeniably there.
