Leonard Chess 1968 Interview (Rare) Talks about Chess Records & More

This is a very rare interview with the great Leonard Chess.
Chess was born to Polish-Jewish parents in Motal, now in Belarus. He and his brother, Fiszel, sister, Malka, and mother arrived in New York in 1928 from Poland. They quickly went to Chicago to join their father, Joseph, who was already engaged in the liquor business, which was illegal at the height of Prohibition and controlled in Chicago by Al Capone. The family name was changed to Chess, with Lejzor becoming Leonard and Fiszel becoming Philip.

Being from Chicago, this is a great treat. Chess records was the true genesis of rock and roll.

My great grandmother actually dated him until he died. He bought my grandma a 1969 corvette for her 16th birthday. She even got to meet a lot of the stars he worked with.
