Today, we're paying tribute to the hard-driving force behind the origins of rock & roll, the legendary Bo Diddley! Born in McComb, MS, on December 30, 1928, Bo's journey from Mississippi to Chicago marked the beginning of a musical revolution.
Immersed in the rhythmic sounds of the Pentecostal church from a young age, Bo was destined to be a trailblazer. His innovative spirit and electrifying guitar skills gave birth to the iconic "Bo Diddley beat," a rhythm that became the heartbeat of a new era in music.
From the mid-1950s until his passing in 2008, Bo Diddley left an indelible mark on world music. His influence resonated far and wide, touching the likes of Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and countless others. In 2020, we proudly welcomed him into The MAX's Hall of Fame. Celebrate Bo Diddley with us, and leave your favorite tracks in the comments!
