The great Magic Sam Magic Sam was one of the greats of Chicago blues. His soaring voice and frenetic guitar had him destined to break out during the great blues revival of the 1960s. However a heart attack in December 1969 meant that Magic Sam was never destined to achieve the popularity and longevity of his compatriots such as Buddy Guy.
