173 Muddy Waters (1913-1983) “Hoochie Coochie Man” 1954

Willie Dixon told him about a song he had written and taught it to Muddy in a nightclub washroom during a band break. When he returned onstage, he launched into the number, leaving the audience shrieking for more. “Hoochie Coochie Man” became “a trademark of Muddy’s career” (Muddy Waters The Mojo Man). Listed on the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.
