Willie Dixon – $2 million

For the most part, you’ll hear the name Willie Dixon along with Muddy Watters. After World War II, both of them became iconic figures in Chicago’s blues scene. Willie players bass and guitar while singing with his unique and beautiful voice. It’s safe to say he was one of the 20th century’s best songwriters. “My Babe, “Hoochie Coochie Man,” and “Spoonful” are only a few of his songs. We aren’t surprised to hear that other musicians have covered his songs.
