Buddy Guy Honored as Chicago Music Legend | Chicago News

Buddy Guy just snagged the Chicago Music Legend Award at the Obama Presidential Center’s Culture Ball, celebrated for his enduring impact on blues and his role in keeping Chicago’s sound alive. Arriving in 1957 with just his guitar, he quickly became part of the city’s blues royalty, playing with legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf. His influence spans generations — Hendrix, Clapton, Beck all credit him. Already a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Grammy winner, and Kennedy Center honoree, he still owns his own club, Buddy Guy’s Legends, and keeps touring, even releasing a new album for his 89th birthday. A true Chicago icon, still blazing his trail at 90. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
