Howlin' Wolf (Chester Burnett, 1910-1976) was an American blues singer, guitarist, harmonica player and composer. He became quite well known in Europe during the 'blues boom' of the 1960s, recording an album with Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones' rhythm section, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts.

He was born Arthur Chester Burnett at White Station, Mississippi, probably somewhere between West Point (Clay County) and Aberdeen (Monroe Country) on June 10, 1910.
