As for the "chick" she was probably the first acknowledged woman guitarist. “The Duchess”, born Norma-Jean Wofford and played with Bo Diddley and his band from 1962-1966.Bo was very attached to her and her family that he told everyone that she was his sister!

The first minute solo of the distortion-like electric guitar is AMAZING... And if you think that THIS play was done 50 years ago.... This man gave a whole new meaning in the word "BLUES"! RESPECT! :-)

[GreenManalishiUSA]

Hey! I just seen this guitar at the "GRETSCH" website, its called the Billy-Bo Thunderbird and they still sell it. Luv the dancing chick next to Bo.

[urizzle7]

@teeze65 She ain't just some dancing chick thats the Duchess man!!!!

[teeze65]

@urizzle7 Ok cool! had no idea who she was, she's the Duchess ...now I know!!!

[vierdiez]

@teeze65 I think the "Billy-Bo" model is a little different, it´s a Billy Gibbons-Bo Diddley collaboration... but back in the 60s Billy Gibbons was just growing his beard and learning from the great Bo Diddley.

[teeze65]

@vierdiez My bad! .....I still want one anyways.

[vierdiez]

@teeze65 Me too ha,ha,ha,ha!!!

[ZLUGGO]

Excellent. And the guitar girl is groovy. Far out!

[HermannRubartV]

Oh... Bo! I love it. It has this certain taste of the bizarre. It´s this chick beside him, but it´s also these dancers in the background as if blues was the stuff for mainstream entertainment. I would pay double price to see something like that on TV these days.

What everybody just seen is the one of the first pioneers of Rock and Roll.

[TheTattles80]

That's his "sister"... better known as Norma-Jean Wofford aka 'The Duchess'.

[RocknRollRampage]

@TheTattles80

He told in a interview that she was his sister but that's not his sister they were not related!
