Er ist der Vater der Blues-Musiker Big Bill Morganfield und Larry 'Muddy Junior' Williams.
- Muddy Waters is the sixteenth episode of the first season of Baywatch.
- He musically passes a kidney stone in "Saving Private Brian". He was voiced by Phil LaMarr.
- McKinley Morganfield (April 4, 1913-April 30, 1983), known as Muddy Waters, was an American blues musician. He is considered the "father of modern Chicago blues" and was a major inspiration for the British blues explosion of the 1960s.
- Muddy Waters was an American blues musician and is generally considered "the father of Chicago blues." His career spanned over thirty years and he produced what are considered to be some of the finest blues songs ever. Muddy Waters is generally considered one of the most influential bluesmen of all time. His fondness for playing in mud earned him the nickname "Muddy" at an early age. He later changed it to "Muddy Water" and finally "Muddy Waters".
- Morganfield's depression got off to a strong start when his mother died during the act of childbirth. Reportedly, the freshly-born McKinley was too exhausted to cry, being pushed and rolled around by "the woman" for the last nine months without end. Getting evicted from the comfort of the womb was the last straw. The midwife, mistakenly assuming the depressed baby to be dead, left him to rot in the gutter, which filled up with muddy water from the sheets of rain pouring down overhead.
- Muddy Waters grew up on Stovall Plantation near Clarksdale, Mississippi and by age seventeen was playing the guitar at parties, emulating local blues artists Son House and Robert Johnson. He was recorded by Alan Lomax there for the Library of Congress in 1941. In 1943, he headed to Chicago with the hope of becoming a full-time professional musician, eventually recording, in 1946, for first Columbia and then Aristocrat Records, a newly formed label run by brothers Leonard and Phil Chess.
- Bluesmusiker, sehr genial der Mann. Vertreter des Chicagoblues. Wurde gleichsam über Nacht berühmt, was ihn selber am meisten überraschte. Er hat sich beim Lastwagenfahren selbst im Radio gehört. Ich weiß bloß nicht, ob es jetzt "Little Red Rooster" oder "Mannish Boy" war. Er war einer der ersten, der den elektrischen Blues spielte, d.h. der eine E-Guitare benutzte. Waters gehörte zu den einflußreichsten Bluesern, viele (weiße) Rockbands der 60er und 70er wurden von ihm beeinflußt. Die Rolling Stones haben angeblich aus einer seiner Liedzeilen ihren Namen her.
- The contestants are divided into equal teams. One at a time, they race through an obstacle course. They crawl under a low cage (or walk across a series of balance beams), clamber up a steep slope and slide down into a mud pit. They then search for a bag of balls buried in a designated mud pit. Upon retrieving the bag of balls, the contestant crawls under a wooden bar by digging through a pit of rice. Upon reaching the mat, the next team-mate may begin the course. Once all teammates have reached the end, the balls must be thrown into a narrow tube about as high as a basketball hoop. The first team to sink all their balls into the tube wins the challenge.
- Peel was a fan of Muddy Waters since his teens [1] and on his BFBS show of 10 April 1997 (BFBS) described how he bought probably the first Blues LP of the artist after playing 'Long Distance Call' by the musician: "Possibly the first blues LP I bought: certainly, I bought it when I was in the army meself and took it back home when I was on leave one weekend and played it to my mum. My mother, a woman of extraordinary judgement and taste, thought it was one of the best things she'd ever heard, and she was quite right."
