BO DIDDLEY BEAT

The Bo Diddley Beat..That infectious, hard-charging rhythm created by (go figure) Bo Diddley in the 1950's .  The beat was embraced by many musicians and can be heard in many pop standards:

Buddy Holly- Not Fade Away

The Strangeloves- I Want Candy

Elvis- (Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame

U2- Desire

And on and on

If I close my eyes, I think I can hear that beat pounding in my head. I probably need to see someone about that..
