DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
Born Ellas Otha Bates on 30 December 1928, and known professionally as Bo Diddley, this iconic American guitarist, singer and songwriter played a key role in the transition from the blues to rock and roll. He influenced numerous artists, including Buddy Holly, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Animals, Tom Petty and the Clash.
His use of African rhythms and a signature beat, a simple five-accent hambone rhythm, is a cornerstone of hip-hop, rock and pop music. In recognition of his achievements, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, the Blues Hall of Fame in 2003, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2017. He received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Diddley is also recognised for his technical innovations, including his use of tremolo and reverb effects to enhance the sound of his distinctive rectangular guitars.
