Chuck Norris (born August 11, 1921 in Kansas City, MO – died August 26, 1989) was an American jazz and blues guitarist.
Norris worked in Chicago until the mid-’40s, when he moved out to the West Coast following a failed marriage. Between 1947 and 1951 he recorded several records in Los Angeles for Coast, Imperial, Selective, Mercury and Aladdin. His final two recordings were made in New York City for Atlantic in 1953. He backed artists such as Floyd Dixon, Little Willie Littlefield, Ray Agee and others. He cut a full-length live album titled The Los Angeles Flash in 1980.

Do NOT confuse with Charles Joseph Morris who wrote for Percy Mayfield
