When the likes of Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, Eric Clapton, the Who, Jimi Hendrix and George Clinton amongst thousands of other's bow down to you as one of their greatest influences, then you know you have truly earned that nickname of The Originator. And an originator is certainly what Bo Diddley was. His trademark rhythm even becoming known as the Bo Diddley Beat, which can be heard in the work of artists as diverse The Smiths to Guns N Roses to Duane Eddy to David Bowie. As vital to the world of rock n' roll as anyone to have ever stepped foot in a recording studio.
