Bo Diddley was born Ellas Otha Bates on December 30, 1928. He was known as the “Originator” because of his role in the transition from blues to rock and roll. He influenced many rock and roll artists, such as Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. His driving rhythms played on his signature rectangular guitar were his trademarks. Bo passed away recently, back on June 2, 2008. I’m featuring a cool video from the 70′s of Bo in his prime. I hope you enjoy it!
