“Who Do You
Love
is a great snapshot of the era in which the
music that
was to become the foundation of Rock & Roll
was created.
The music, the cars, the clothes, and the many
amazing
characters of my childhood are brought to life
in this
film, which also gives a taste of the many roads
travelled
by my family to make Chess Records one of the
greatest
record labels of all time.”

– Marshall
Chess

From four-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Zaks (Marvin’s
Room) comes Who Do You
Love

,
an intimate portrayal of how Phil and Leonard Chess
built
the legendary music label Chess Records. Chess
launched some
of the best loved names in Blues and Rock &
Roll, and
the film features authentic musical performances and
a score
steeped in hits from the Chess Records canon
including Muddy
Waters’ Stuff You Gotta Watch, Etta James’
At Last, and Bo Diddley’s Who Do You
Love.

The film stars Alessandro Nivola (Coco
Before Chanel,
Junebug, Laurel Canyon) as Leonard Chess, Jon
Abrahams
(Meet The Parents) as Phil Chess, acclaimed
musicians
Robert Randolph (as Bo Diddley), Keb’ Mo’, Raheem
DeVaughn and Ryan Shaw, David Oyelowo (Last King
Of Scotland)
as Muddy Waters, Chi McBride (Pushing Daisies,
Boston
Legal), Megalyn Ann Echikunwoke as Ivy Mills,
and Marika
Dominczyk as Revetta Chess.

“In the mid-50s,
Leonard
and Phil Chess gave me, Muddy Waters, Chuck
Berry, Willie
Dixon and others the opportunity to develop a
sound and
musical style that changed the world! Who Do
You Love
explores what we laid down on South Michigan
Street in
Chicago back then, how the development of a
record empire
and a musical sound are forever linked, and
dares to show
both the light and dark sides of the business,
and the
shadows in between. Robert Randolph's portrayal
of me
is out-a-sight! So hot, it's smokin'!”

– Bo Diddley
