As portrayed in the 2008 movies "Cadillac Records" and "Who Do You Love?", Leonard Chess (Lezjor Czyz 1917-1969) was a driven businessman and promoter within the record industry from 1947 to 1969. He and his brother Phil (Fiszel) operated Chess Records, a major source of the "electric blues" music that bridged the transition from jazz to rock and roll. His son Marshall Chess confirms that his dad was a work-a-holic but that working alongside him as a teen was an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.
