Cadillac Records, behind success and fame

In the movie, Leonard Chess is an amazing man. He believed and took a risk by recording Blues music with Muddy Waters. He had an ear for this different flavor of music and this type of music eventually help develop rock and roll. It's amazing that he started from a small recording studio to a new studio with exceptional sound and recording quality. What's amazing is that Chess integrates all of his recording artists as his family. However, that was proven to be a mistake because behind all the success and fame lies drama, heartaches, and led to him to spend a fortune on booze, cars, and the high life. This movie showed that promoting this blues music took so much effort, bribery with the radio stations, cooperations with the band and the artists. Chess had to satisfy everyone in order for this to work.

It's no surprise that fame can change a person over night. Muddy Waters was not commited to one woman. In fact, the moment where his wife was holding what was supposed to be Water's "outside baby" in her hand and just crying, that was heartbreaking. When Little Walter came by and tried to take his wife, that led to the downfall of their friendship. That was unfair, he didn't learn to appreciate his wife, then what's wrong with Walter stepping in and giving what she deserves?
