Muddy Waters heard Berry's act and suggested he go up to Chicago and "See Leonard" (Chess) owner of Chess Records at 2120 S. Michigan Ave. Chess listened to Berry's tunes, selected one called "Ida Red", changed the name of it to "Maybelliene", gave it a fast, heavy back-beat rhythm section with his house backup band, and the rest, as they say, is history.
