Description: Leonard and Phil Chess were Polish immigrants to Chicago, strivers who found the success they sought through publishing the music of another group of outsiders -- the Southern migrants who created the blues. From seeing the popularity of acts in their Macomba Lounge in the heart of Chicago's "black belt", to the earliest recordings sold from their car trunk on 1,000 mile road trips, Spinning Blues Into Gold explores the rough-and-tumble world of Chess Records and the independent record business, the deals and the dollars, the talent who made the music.

Chess recordings of Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Etta James, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley form the canon of the blues -- and the roots of rock 'n' roll and soul -- records that still influence where music is heading at the end of the century.

The story of Chess Records is a rich blend of cultures, a melding of outsiders -- the Jewish immigrant and the southern immigrant, each seeking success while never denying their roots.
