Bo Diddley links Bo Diddley produced greater and more influential music than all but a handful of the best early rockers, with his Bo Diddley beat a bedrock rhythm used by Buddy Holly, the Rolling Stones and countless others. Bo's boasting vocals stretched back to Africa for their roots and looked into the future to rap. His trademark fuzzy guitar style expanded the instrument's power and range. Even more important, Bo is fun, with a wisecracking, jiving tone that epitomized rock & roll at its most freewheeling.
