By 1946 he had recorded as a harmonica player and singer for the Harlem
record label run by J. Mayo Williams. Rogers' name did not appear on the
record, which was mislabeled as the work of "Memphis Slim and his
Houserockers."
In 1947, Rogers, Muddy Waters and Little Walter began playing together
as Muddy Waters' first band in Chicago (sometimes referred to as "The
Headcutters" or "The Headhunters" due to their practice of stealing jobs
from other local bands), while the band members each recorded and
released music credited to each of them as solo artists. The first Muddy
Waters band defined the sound of the nascent "Chicago Blues" style (more
specifically "South Side" Chicago Blues).....
