Legendary Chicago blues guitarist Otis Rush, whose passionate, jazz-like music influenced artists from Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton to the rock band Led Zeppelin, died Saturday at the age of 84, his longtime manager said. Otis Rush we all owe you a debt of gratitude. "He was one of the last great blues guitar heroes. He was an electric God," said Gregg Parker, CEO and a founder of the Chicago Blues Museum. Rush won a Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Recording in 1999 for Any Place I'm Going, and he was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1984.
