Jr. Wells and Buddy Guy...Mentioned herea few times - Chicawgo Blues, by way of Delta migration.
My favorite was not mentioned: "Messsin' With The Kid," which has become a classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWTieCjUhVw  On multiple albums, with and w/o Buddy Guy.
Another favorite, not mentioned: Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee: From the Album Midnight Special.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z90cONlqCmc
(They didn't like each other, after a few years, but proceeded to play together for the next 20 or so years...) 
Not mentioned is the fact that life was hard for some of these musicians because of the lifestyle they lived - their circumstances and times. It is amazing that some of these musicians lived as long as they did.  At a concert I produced with fellow SCA members at UCLA, James Cotton got so drunk he couldn't stand up, but wouldn't leave the stage when his time was up. Falling down drunk, he kept playing a mean harmonica, and we had to pull the plug on him, literally, to get buddy guy and albert collins on stage...

Two perhaps not as well known.  Both these sets were recorded at a time when the blues were resurgent and new young talent was paying tribute to those who set the tone of what would become Chicago Blues or for most of us on the "southside" "The Blues"  The fathers and sons album partially recorded  at Sulliavan and Adler's acoustically perfect,  Auditorium Theatre  in Chicago at what was called  Super Cosmic Joy Scout Jamboree: Muddy, Otis, Bloomfield, Butterfield, Dunn, Boooker, Lay and other guests.  (yeah I was lucky enough to be there).    Another is the two volume set of Fleetwwood Mac with Willie Dixon (IMHO the best Blues songwriter), Otis Span, Big Walter, Honeyboy Edwards, Buddy Guy, SP Leary,  and a few drop-ins,  recorded at Chess Studios in 69 and released under various names as" Fleetwood Mac in Chicago", "Get off in Chicago", "Blues Jam in Chicago" etc. "  This was Fleetwwood Mac (Green, Kewin, Spenser, McVie and Fleetwood) not the pop band line-up.
