@montauk6 Yes it is. Ed Sullivan was ticked off cause Bo sang this instead of "Sixteen Tons." Shows you what a stick in the mud Sullivan was since he banned Jim Morrison and the Doors about a decade later after he sang the "girl we couldn't get much higher" line. Bo is a classic!!
This song showed the way, cos many artists recorded this song. Bo Diddley appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show before Elvis. Buddy Holly, The Animals and of course, The Rolling Stones his biggest disciples.
Is this the Sullivan appearance that got him banned from the show?

Why does his guitar sound like a ... whistle or something? I thought this was before guitar effects were in use.

@catfacecathead guitar effects weren't widespread, but you could get tremolo effects on amps.
