Willie Kent fue un cantante, bajista y compositor de blues estadounidense. Comenzó a cantar en la iglesia cuando era joven y desarrolló una temprana apreciación por los artistas de blues a través del programa de radio KFFA King Biscuit Time, incluyendo a Arthur Crudup, Sonny Boy Williamson II y Robert Nighthawk. En 1952 se trasladó a Chicago, donde se sumergió en la escena local del blues. En 1959, se unió a Ralph and the Red Tops como conductor y mánager antes de convertirse en el bajista de la banda, instrumento que tocó durante el resto de su carrera. Actuó con grandes figuras del blues, como Little Walter, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Junior Parker y Arthur Stallworth. En la década de 1970, realizó una gira por Europa y se convirtió en el líder de la banda de Ma Bea's Lounge, y en 1982 se unió a la Eddie Taylor's Blues Band. Tras la muerte de Taylor, formó Willie Kent & The Gents, con varias formaciones hasta su muerte. Recibió varios premios W.C. Handy al mejor instrumentista de blues (bajo) entre 1995 y 2005, entre otros galardones. Kent falleció el 2 de marzo de 2006 en Englewood, Illinois.
