One of my favorites and one of the last of the classic era Chicago bluesmen. A huge and under appreciated talent. RIP, Otis.

Ripped off many of his licks. But his tone and attack made him one of the greatest.

A singular force in Blues guitar. I can hear a little bit of him in everyone who's came after him.
