Bo Diddly Passes
Tuesday, 03 June 2008

bo_diddley

Bo Diddley, bluesman and a founding father of rock 'n' roll whose distinctive "shave and a haircut, two bits" rhythm and innovative guitar effects inspired legions of other musicians, died Monday after months of ill health at 79.

Diddley died of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla. He had suffered a heart attack in back in August  while touring in Iowa. Doctors said the stroke affected his ability to speak, and he had returned to Florida to continue rehabilitation.

The legendary singer and performer, known for his homemade square guitar, dark glasses and black hat, was an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, had a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and received a lifetime achievement award in 1999 at the Grammy Awards. In recent years he also played for the elder President Bush and President Clinton.

Bo Diddley was on Ed Sullivan show and played blues instead of Old Man River. He was a unique individual and influenced my generation of folk blues players. Bo Diddly used to say "If you ain't got no money, ain't nobody calls you honey."

The name Bo Diddley came from other youngsters when he was growing up in Chicago.

"I don't know where the kids got it, but the kids in grammar school gave me that name," he said, adding that he liked it so it became his stage name. Other times, he gave somewhat differing stories on where he got the name. Some experts believe a possible source for the name is a one-string instrument used in traditional blues music called a diddley bow.

His first single, "Bo Diddley," introduced record buyers in 1955 to his signature rhythm: bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp, often summarized as "shave and a haircut, two bits." The B side, "I'm a Man," with its slightly humorous take on macho pride, also became a rock standard and  he influenced all the British Rockers, including the Rolling Stones. In fact, Bo Diddly and other bluesmen were more popular in England than in the United States.

The company that issued his early songs was Chess-Checkers records, the storied Chicago-based labels that also recorded Chuck Berry and other stars. I was lucky to be able to go up to Chicago when I was 16 years old to  visit the old Chess Records shop near Old Town Chicago.  I went up to Chicago with a Blues Music collector Mike Berring and spend all my summer savings on old LPs of Bo Diddley, Howling Wolf, Mississipi John Hurt, and other bluesmen's recordings. The folk folk scene is full of musicians that have had the influence of Bo Diddley and other bluesmen influence their music styles.

Bo Diddley may not have been the most stellar of instrumentalists but his
strength was in his innovation.  He was there during the period that blues
was birthing rock and roll.  Much of his music could be called either.  So he
rightly enjoys an honored spot in the history of both genres.  By extension,
that makes him a significant person in American music history.

Stan Geberer

"His signature driving rhythm threads its way wonderfully through all the rock
& roll music I listen to. It is infectious, fun to play and makes you get up
and dance. There is not a Florida Folk Festival where his rhythm is not
played and now, for many reasons, it will continue to be so. If Bo Diddley isn't
seen, he'll still be heard."

- Stan Geberer 
(Floridaharp and bluesman)

 

 

 

"Although Bo Diddley was never much of an influence on my guitar style, I greatly admired his innovativeness, especially the almost reggae like rhythm he developed and used in so many of his songs. Another creative signature he had was the rectangular shaped electric guitar which was fashioned after the homemade cigar box guitars that so many of the first generation bluesmen learned to play on. He kept a permanent remembrance of where his roots came from by using the perfect stage name. May he rest in peace. "
