I'm sorry to say I didn't know who he was or what he did, but I do now, thank you

R.I.P. Phil Chess and thanks for all the music.
He co-headed one of the most influential R&B record labels in the R&R era.
His company was the inspiration for the film "Cadillac Records"

One of the pioneers,r.i.p.
As a platform promoting blues jazz r&b and soul, the Chess brothers arguably made a contribution at least equal to that of the founders of Atlantic and Motown. The Dells Greatest Hits album issued on Cadet in USA and Chess in the UK is a diamond of an album and is still as compelling today as when issued in late 60s. A masterpiece in every respect. RIP Phil Chess
Is there any one left to carry the family name?
Just think how things might have been if the deal with G&H had went through. We'll never know but I'm sure it worked out for the best.
