In the 50's he played the Tarentum PA "Roller Rink" and turned the place out. We followed his gigs all around Pittsburgh, night after night, had a natural ball. In our group of groupies, 2 were blacks. A dark skinned boy and a mellow yellow pretty gal name Gloria. One night he played at the "American Legion Hall" as we all entered the club, they let Gloria in but refused to admit Bobby. Too dark skinned ! , but the show went on .we all just went home ! That was the 50's
Yeah, this is the way I remember him. First live music for me--1959 or 60 "Bo Diddley and his Talking Guitar" at the firehall rec room, $1 admission. The "stage" was a piece of rope across the floor that the audience was not supposed to cross.
I love this song! :D As much as Andre 3000 and B.o.B. are great on "Play the guitar", with such skilled rhymes over Bo's riff, nothing beats the original, Bo Diddley! :D
Great video. Bo.
