FlaSoxxJim Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 A pioneer for sure. I always got a kick out of how cheesed off he would get not just at the industry for screwing him over, but at everybody else who came along after him and threw some Bo Diddly vamp into their music. Buddy Holly, the Stones, etc., he'd always chew 'em out for stealing his vamp. One of a kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Buffalo Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) I was listening to an old Tony Kornheiser podcast, and he was talking about this clip from YouTube from the Animals - The story of Bo Diddley. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhuEV17YZes Edited June 27, 2008 by Middle Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer Bo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F1Mk6U5zVY I love that the only person in the audience getting into it is a white guy with a red afro. That one guy was the pnly cool person in that building (next to Bo and his band). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
