Bo Diddley (Ellas Otha Bates)
(December 30, 1928 – June 2, 2008)

      
        
        
       

Bo Diddley played a key role in the transition from
the
blues
to rock and roll. He influenced many artists,
including Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley and the Beatles.
     
 

His use of African rhythms and a signature beat, a
simple  five-
accent
hambone rhythm, is a cornerstone
of
hip hop, rock, and pop music.
