On Christmas day in 1954, rising R&B star Johnny Ace was backstage for a short intermission, and in an effort to prove the gun he was playing with wasn’t loaded, put it to his temple and killed himself instantly. Big Mama Thornton witnessed the accident, saying his hair stood straight up when the gun fired.

Nobody does music like CHICAGO! With the success of record sales from record labels like Chess Records, dozens of labels sprung up on what became “Record Row” on Michigan Avenue, including Vee-Jay, Chance Records, King Records, and Cobra Records. Vee-Jay bought radio stations in Chicagoland, and were the first to release The Beatles in the U.S., Chess signed Chuck Berry, Howin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters and helped invent Rock n Roll. Chicago’s electric blues movement not only influenced later generations of blues musicians, but also laid the foundation for the development of pop, rap & rock and roll.

We hope you’ll enjoy our selections of vintage Chicago Blues and Music merchandise!
