Bo Diddley died on Monday at the age of 79. What a fabulous guitar player. Bo's early recordings were for Chess Records, the legendary Chicago blues studio. Chicago landmarked the building in 1990 (thank goodness it wasn't in Oshkosh as it would have been razed by now).
The famous Bo Diddley riff has been appropriated by countless artists in countless songs. The Rolling Stones' cover of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" is just one example.
