Title: Bo Diddley R.I.P Post by: Mooger Fooger on June 02, 2008, 11:20:01 AM Just heard the news.
What a legendary pioneer. Title: Re: Bo Diddley R.I.P Post by: Rocker on June 02, 2008, 11:29:10 AM No way !?!?! I didn't expect this. So sad, one of the greatest.
To keep it on topic, Carl played backup in an all-star-band along Ronnie Wood and others for Bo Diddley. Title: Re: Bo Diddley R.I.P Post by: 8o8o on June 02, 2008, 02:15:11 PM So sad to hear this, he surely was a true original, in every sense of the word.
His heart has stopped, but his beat will last forever. R.I.P. Title: Re: Bo Diddley R.I.P Post by: MBE on June 02, 2008, 06:20:44 PM Man I have most of his original Checker LP's he was so good in the fifties and sixties.

He did have some clever grooves.
HEYYYY BO DIDDLEY!! Title: Re: Bo Diddley R.I.P Post by: Rocker on June 03, 2008, 05:01:15 AM Man I have most of his original Checker LP's he was so good in the fifties and sixties. Did you hear his funk-stuff from the early 70s? Awesome music ! Title: Re: Bo Diddley R.I.P Post by: MBE on June 04, 2008, 10:02:30 PM It's not bad, I have a couple of those LP's. I am more into his 55-65 stuff though. He did do a great remake for the La Bamba soundtrack of Who Do You Love in 1987.
