In 1952, the brothers started Checker Records as an alternative label for radio play (radio stations had a policy of only playing a limited number of records from any one imprint).[10] In December 1955, they launched a jazz and pop label, Marterry, a name created from the first names of Leonard and Phil's sons, Marshall and Terry.[2] This was quickly renamed Argo Records, but the name was changed again in 1965 to Cadet Records to end confusion with an existing British spoken-word label.

Leonard and Phil Chess, immigrants from Poland, began recording acts performing at their Club Macambo at 3905 Cottage Grove after World War II. In 1947 the brothers formed the Aristocrat Record Corporation, which reorganized in 1950 when they left the nightclub business to concentrate on making records as the Chess Recording Company. They added a subsidiaryblueslabel, Checker, in 1952.

And the sounds coming out of the Michigan Avenue studios were extremely influential, particularly in Britain. In Liverpool, rhythm and blues records were in great demand among local youth and particularly among two young rock band members named Lennon and McCartney.

"The bulk of their trade was really jukeboxes and in taverns and shops and that sort of thing," Cohodas said. "You simply had to get out on the road, thousands of miles, days and days and days with your car full of records to drop off to every distributor, every disc jockey, to try to see if you could interest them in playing the music."

The Chess brothers ended up selling the label in 1969, and Leonard died later that year. But Phil Chess lived to see the records they put out and the artists they championed become part of music history.

Buddy Guy is one of the last living members of the Chess heyday still performing, primarily at his own appropriately named Chicago club, Legends. Guy is a legend himself, a guitar virtuoso with a husky, unforgettable voice capable of conveying deep layers of emotion. Guy began his career as a studio session player at Chess Records, appearing as a credited guitarist on several Muddy Waters records.

Chess Records is our forgotten landmark, founded by Leonard and Phil Chess, Jewish immigrant brothers from Poland, in 1950. They recorded unknown black blues musicians from the South and got their records played on radio stations, exposing their sound to a worldwide audience. Many of England's young musicians of the 1960s grew up emulating the "Chess sound." In a 1960 encounter at a railway station, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards first bonded over the Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters Chess albums Jagger was carrying. They would later take their band's name from the Muddy Waters song "Rollin' Stone," record the first version of "Satisfaction" at Chess, and name an instrumental track "2120 South Michigan Avenue," one of five songs they recorded at Chess for their second album.
