bo diddley - pretty thing

[89peline]

Bo Diddley aveva una personalità particolare che lo rendeva unico...

Hi 2skyland

I love the harmonica on this, too. I confess that for a long time I believed that it was the great Little Walter, who recorded a few tracks with Bo. However, it is Lester Davenport giving his all on this track.

All in all, this record is perfect!

best wishes from the U.K.

[2skyland]

I love the harmonica in this song.

The first performer I saw, and 25 years earlier, the first performer my daddy saw.

[zippothehippo1]

Awesome song--thanks for remedying this. It's a masterpiece.

[freddybonbon]

and the song was written by willie dixon, also one of the very best

[boss12]

This song is like a bridge between the Blues and Rock & Roll

[GrindStreetMusic]

@boss12 It's all the same music man

[syntaxius]

@GrindStreetMusic no, not at all really

[0coincidences]

@syntaxius in the sense that they all come from the same place... yeah they are... blues and rock n roll follow the same pattern of music, just uses a different vibe and feel. they all descend from traditional american folk music. 2, 3 or 4 chord patterns for about 99% of them... mostly 3 chords.wether it be country, folk, rock, blues... it kinda all is the same music, some are older, some younger, and they grew up apart and diffrently, but all have the same father.

[syntaxius]

@0coincidences I agree, and I know how Rock 'n Roll flows forth from the Blues and I'm a big lover of both but the different ''vibe and feel' makes them way different kinds of music, at least to my ears

[TryYellowSnowCone]

@boss12 Back where it started.

[1OLDWAC]

this rocks- I saw Bo diddley at a fair when I was 5 or 6 and got in a groove, got pushed up by the estage and could not stop dancin. my mother was looking for me and asked if anyboyd saw a littel blond white girl-sure enough they found me.

I love Bo diddley and t=that beat-may he RIP.

[upstatelugh]

This track is so clear it sounds like it was written and recorded just this morning. I love it :D

[GrindStreetMusic]

@upstatelugh Yes, excellent sound quality!

[ziggyzeeeg]

First record I bought back in 1963 at the tender age of 11. Saw Bo play it on TV and it drove me wild, I had to buy it.

[ozgribbo]

The Pretty Things version of this led me to Bo Diddley . This made the UK charts (34) in October 63.
