Little Walter Jacobs and Baby Face Leroy Foster arrived in Chicago together in 1945 with piano man, Johnnie Jones.
Sunnyland Slim served as elder statesman connection for many of the blues men coming up from the south, including Muddy Waters.
He opened doors for early recording opportunities. He had also helped out a teenaged Walter with a place to stay (instead of sleeping on pool tables) back in Missouri….
In 1948, Sunnyland contracted a session for Irving Taman’s TEMPO-TONE records
