Willie Dixon
William James "Willie" Dixon (July 1, 1915 – January 29, 1992) was an American blues musician, vocalist, songwriter, arranger and record producer. A Grammy Award winner who was proficient on both the upright bass and the guitar and as a vocalist, Dixon is perhaps best known as one of the most prolific songwriters of his time. Next to Muddy Waters, Dixon is recognized as the most influential person in shaping the post-World War II sound of the Chicago blues.
Dixon's songs have been recorded by countless musicians in many genres as well as by various ensembles in which he participated. A short list of his most famous compositions includes "Hoochie Coochie Man", "I Just Want to Make Love to You", "Little Red Rooster", "My Babe", "Spoonful", and "You Can't Judge a Book by the Cover". These tunes were written during the peak of Chess Records, 1950–1965, and performed by Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, and Bo Diddley; they influenced a worldwide generation of musicians.

Famous quotes by Willie Dixon:
"The Blues are the true facts of life expressed in words and song, inspiration, feeling, and understanding."
"I don't want you to be true;"
"The men don't know, but the little girls understand."
"My God, I never heard a woman sing the blues like you sing the blues,"
"It does my heart good coming out here and helping my community."
"Birth is the sudden opening of a window, through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect. For what has happened? A miracle. You have exchanged nothing for the possibility of everything."
Willie Dixon

The Legend of Willie Dixon
by: Willie DixonNow, when you see two dogs
Nawin' on the same bone
It ain't no growlin'
An a-fightin' goin' on
They got a good understandin'
Yes, they got a good understandin'
You know a good understandin
Can make ev'rything alright
(sax & instrumental)
Now, when the lamb and the lion
Can lay side by side
An rover lick the tom cat
In his eye
They got a good understandin'
Yes, they got a good understandin'
You know a good understandin
Can make ev'rything alright
Yes, a good understandin
Can-a make ev'rything alright.
