Charles Douglas Musselwhite (born January 31, 1944) is an American electric blues harmonica player and bandleader, one of the non-black bluesmen who came to prominence in the early 1960s, along with Mike Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield. Though he has often been identified as a white bluesman, he claims Native American heritage. Musselwhite was reportedly the inspiration for Dan Aykroyds character in the Blues Brothers.
