History sometimes is littered with chance meetings of famous people that occurred before one or the other made their mark on the world — a teenage Bill Clinton meeting John F. Kennedy in the '60s, for instance, or budding astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson bumping into Carl Sagan at a bus stop in the '70s.
A similar moment came in Newcastle, England, when a young Eric Burdon was walking home from school and heard some music that literally stopped him in his tracks. It was blues legend Muddy Waters performing a sound check ahead of a show that night. Nothing was the same after that moment.
"It was so strong, so powerful, it made me realize immediately what I wanted to do with my life," Burdon said in a recent interview from his southern California home. "The sound coming through that open door, literally opened the door to my own musical journey."
