When Chuck Berry goes to jail, Leonard is able to find another talented performer, Etta James, to take his place. This is not an easy job for him, because they spend a small fortune on booze, drugs, and the high life. Leonard Chess makes all of his artist part of his family and takes care of them. Record producer, Leonard Chess (Adrien Brody) has an ear for this different type of music, and believes he can cash in by signing up new talent such as songwriter, Willie Dixon (Cedric the Entertainer), Howlin' Wolf (Eamonn Walker), and Etta James (Beyonce Knowles).
