BO DIDDLEY "NURSERY RHYME"

[nanomicroart]

Thank you very much! "AMAZING!"

[satjathamma]

this is the only rythm and riff I ever heard he play, I guess this is his style,

but it's kinda boring, seems like it's the same song over and over again

[ThePorkified]

Bo Diddley is the baddest Cat to ever be!

Period!!!

This is a very little known gem by Bo, but definitely my favorite. There is a rave version of this song by a 60s R&B outfit called the Shamrocks who hailed from the isle of Wight. Getting back to Bo, he was a true creative genius. He studied violin as a child but switched to guitar. He not only created his own unique guitar sounds, but also build his own guitars in any shape like rectangular. Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Bo Diddley were the true kings of pop not that Michael Jackson fellow.

@leapinturtle kings of pop?.....you mean rock!

[sotabob]

Bo,He's a Man, NO BOY! In 1955 I first heard Boy.Saw him live many times and he always nailed it.At a festival in FL. James Brown was playing and Bo walked on (No guitar) Did "I'm a Man" and walked off after James and he hugged.He always was BADD!

the plaid jacket is from album #1, "Bo Diddley". 'Nursery Rhyme" is from album #3,"HAve Guitar Will Travel".

[johncole84]

You talk about him never making any money, someone had to thank god.

[brujoal]

[ThePorkified]

i agree mojomann.

But still the baddest cat that ever.

Bo Diddley. The best ever!

[THEMOJOMANsince1959]

The sad part is that BO opened many doors and most times he was left holding nothing but the door knob. INNOVATOR,,ORIGINATOR,,

ROCK&ROLL GLADIATOR BO DIDDLEY

That guitar is freakin' Awesome!

[porkified]

Elvis was a white man who sang black. Bo Diddley is a black man who is the best. End of argument.

Bo Diddley. The Baddest Cat ever!

[Barndog44]

One of the greatest of all rock guitarists. Thanks for posting. I have the album Jungle Music with this version of the song and the sleeve notes say this was recorded in 1959.

[mckyle8]

I may be a part of this "new millenium" generation but i dont follow any of it!

even though i wasn't a part of those "GOLDEN YEARS"....I still allow it to live on through me musically!

[LesSmith45]

@mckyle8 That is music to my ears Young Man. This is my generation of music and i see it dying everyday i see these new american idol contestants and the Gaga's of the world that bring nothing to the table except they can cover other work. No i know Gaga doesnt but something about that bitch that i cant stand. I dont know maybe because she is just a lame rerun of the Material girl. Keep listening and discovering this great music. Because these guys are already dead or close to it.

[dankeewolnir4042]

It was a beutiful time when you didnt have to be beautiful to be respected. Bo Diddely was Bo Diddely, and he damn sure wasnt hollywood (thank GOD). He was a bad ass and didnt need American Idol to do his thing. Now days a wonderful artist could be right under our nose, but if he had those glasses, no one would give him the time of day. American culture in some respects has been circle-ing the drain last 30yrs. TV and Corps have been choking us for a long time. Wake up's commin soon though

[Cherrynoir76]

@dankeewolnir4042 Damn right.

[porkified]

Elvis was good, Bo is BOSS! End of argument.

[porkified]

I think God finally caught on to this genius of a man.

Luv ya Bo, I'll keep an eye on your sister.

Big Al

[clarence335]

RIP BO! Class act, Will be sadly missed!

[porkified]

[zoooyork911]

[MUN7001]

A black man taught evlis how to sing,

[porkified]
