In the news:
CHICAGO (AP) â Chicago blues great Buddy Guy
now has his own street.
The city of Chicago has renamed the stretch of Wabash Street in
front of his club, Legends, "Buddy
Guy Way."
The blues guitarist says he "wanted to
cry" when the honor was bestowed Sunday. Chicago Alderman Bob Fioretti read a
proclamation from Mayor
Rahm Emanuel, and the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" as
Guy received a copy of the street sign.
He celebrated his 75th birthday on July
30.
Guy was born in Louisiana
in 1936 and moved to Chicago
in 1957. He started a career as a session musician, backing blues legends such
as Muddy Waters,
Sonny Boy
Williamson and Little Walter before recording his own
music. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
