Robert "Chick" Willis (b. September 24, 1934, Cabiness, Georgia) is an American blues singer. His cousin was Chuck Willis. Chick Willis served in the military in the early 1950s before working as a chauffeur for Chuck during his heyday. He won a talent show at the Magnolia Ballroom in Atlanta and made his first debut on record in 1956, with the Ebb Records single "You're Mine". Initially, he only sang, but learned guitar while touring with his cousin; Guitar Slim was one of his foremost influences. After Chuck's death in 1957, Willis played with Elmore James, recording singles through the 1960s for Atco and other labels. His 1972 hit "Stoop Down Baby" was a jukebox hit but secured no radio airplay due to its sexually explicit content. He released a steady stream of albums on Ichiban Records in the 1980s and 1990s, and continued to record into the 2000s.
