About the artist

American singer, guitarist, and artist.

Born: 30 December 1928 in McComb, Mississippi, USA.
Died: 2 June 2008 in Archer, Florida, USA (aged 79).

Diddley was an influential singer & guitarist who recorded his best known material for the Checker and Chess labels. He scored his first hit with the double sided single (1955), and a string of R&B hits followed through the 1950s & early 1960s, most notably (1955), "Mona" (1957), "Say Man" (1959), and (1960).

His trademark rhythm, the "Bo Diddley Beat", was an acknowledged influence on many artists including: Buddy Holly, The Rolling Stones, Jim Morrison, The Yardbirds, and George Thorogood, among others.

He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1987 (Performer).

Diddley married four times.
"Love Is Strange" hit by Mickey & Sylvia was written by Bo Diddley under the name of his second wife Ethel Smith.
