Phil Chess, who with his brother Leonard, founded Chess Records, has died. The Chess brothers, of course, helped launch the careers of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and countless others. Phil was 95. His brother Len was only 52 when he died in 1969.

@MP -- You were probably thinking of Phil's older brother, Leonard Chess, who passed away over 30 years ago.
