"well I might be mistaken" but I bet ZZ top was influenced by this.

"British rock bands like The Rolling Stones, The Pretty Things, The Yardbirds, Pink Floyd and Them featured versions of his songs in their early repertoires. Later, the riff from Harpo's 1966 hit "Shake Your Hips", which itself was derivative of Bo Diddley's "Bring It to Jerome", was used in the ZZ Top hit "La Grange"..." See wikipedia for more

@Pyway100 Without a doubt. So many people after these borrowed or stole from the original masters. They really should play this music on the regular stations and each the kids something. Cheers.

Different era, Blues artists respected one another and played each others songs and tried to put their own twist to them. It wasn't considered a rip off.

@squeakystool in the day, many artist such as slim, john lee,muddy waters, buddy guy, b.b., bobby bland, done each others songs...... i don't think it was as much ripping off the other artist , but, more of a tribute to them. I don't think you could find one British Invasion band as well as many Old U.S. rock bands that weren't heavily influenced by these artist, along with many more old blues artist
