Magic Sam
Blues66.7m all-time streams (6 Aug '26)
No blues guitarist better represented the adventurous modern sound of Chicago's West side more proudly than Sam Maghett.
He died tragically young (at age 32 of a heart attack), just as he was on the brink of climbing the ladder to legitimate stardom, but Magic Sam left behind a thick legacy of bone-cutting blues that remains eminently influential around his old stomping grounds to this day.
