Bo Diddley, the musical pioneer whose songs, such as "Who Do You Love?" and "Bo Diddley," melded rhythm and blues and rock 'n' roll through a distinctive thumping beat, has died. He was 79.
Diddley died Monday, surrounded by family and loved ones at his home in Archer, Florida, a family spokeswoman said. The cause was heart failure, his family said. The world-renowned guitarist's signature beat -- usually played on an equally distinctive rectangular-bodied guitar -- laid the foundation for rock 'n' roll for decades, and became so identified with him that it became known as the "Bo Diddley" beat. The rest of the story... [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] One of my Favorites. Rock'n'Roll heaven is rockin' today. RIP |

R.I.P. Bo Diddley, one of the greats. I've always loved his straightforward, rootsy, music. I'm gonna listen to "Before You Acuse Me". If genius is defined by innovation, he deserves to be called one.

I bet when he died that his musical spirit is still having sold-out performances. I am happy to know that I am not the first to respond to this thread.
