<P> The bassist and prolific songwriter and composer Willie Dixon played a major role on the Chicago blues scene . He composed and wrote many standard blues songs of the period , such as `` Hoochie Coochie Man '' , `` I Just Want to Make Love to You '' ( both penned for Muddy Waters ) and , `` Wang Dang Doodle '' and `` Back Door Man '' for Howlin ' Wolf . Most artists of the Chicago blues style recorded for the Chicago - based Chess Records and Checker Records labels . Smaller blues labels of this era included Vee - Jay Records and J.O.B. Records . During the early 1950s , the dominating Chicago labels were challenged by Sam Phillips ' Sun Records company in Memphis , which recorded B.B. King and Howlin ' Wolf before he moved to Chicago in 1960 . After Phillips discovered Elvis Presley in 1954 , the Sun label turned to the rapidly expanding white audience and started recording mostly rock ' n ' roll . </P>
