Harley Cokliss' Chicago Blues filmed in 1972 was a remarkable film; remarkable in that it was not just a competent documentary but a film crafted with care by professionals with a love and understanding of musicand a respect for its history and artists.

The music and its artists of Chicago Blues reflect faithfully the structure of the city's Blues activity of the late 60s from unknown amateur to world famous stars, from house to small bar, from traditional downhome to modern city style.
