    I was his part time grounds keeper the last two years of his life. I went to school with almost all of his great granddaughters and was a friend of the family. He was pretty bad at toward the end. He'd had a stroke or two. And was hard to understand, but when he got his guitar he could sing and play so clearly is was stunning. He completely changed. I only saw it once or twice but it left an impression on me. It was like the stroke symptoms and his arthritis disappeared. Great man. RIP ✌

      Awesome story!
      Yes from what I've read many stroke victims retain their musicality.
      That side of the brain still is undisturbed.
      I don't understand how the paralysis allows the body to function.
      In MR. BO'S case he could still
      play his music he created: ROCK AND ROLL-
      GLAD YOU WITNESSED IT!

      Yeah. I saw Glenn Campbell’s farewell tour. He was TOTALLY disoriented. Had no idea where he was and I wonder if he even knew if he was there at all! BUT, his singing and playing were incredible! I read somewhere that musical ability in humans is deep, deep inside the brain. From what I read, terribly brain-injured people still retain a substantial amount of appreciation and recognition of music. I guess that this might explain what was reported about Bo. I witnessed it myself with Glen. Really re-affirmed my belief in God to see him do what he did.

    For those who don't know just how rock n roll this video is... Ed Sullivan, one of the most powerful people in TV back then, wanted Bo and his band to play the song Sixteen Tons which was a hit at the time for Tennessee Ernie Ford, that's why there's straw all over the stage. Bo agreed and then of course went out and played his own song. If you notice how they all kept looking to the sides of the stage because they all expected to be dragged off for defying the powerful Ed Sullivan, but the song Bo Diddley ended up being a hit.

    • @wanaraz
      @wanaraz Рік тому +11

      Great story but I don't believe it. Everybody who went on Ed's show had some sort of talent or hit song. That's why they are on the show. That song topped the charts for TWO weeks in 1955.

    • @drgeff1
      @drgeff1 Рік тому +50

      This is absolutely a true story. Even worse it got into a very aggressive verbal altercation with Ed Sullivan calling bo a pejorative racial term that nearly led to a fist fight. Bo Diddley was banned from The Ed Sullivan show for 7 years and wasn't able to even into any of Alan freed's films It was a dumb misunderstanding what happened. Bo thought he was going to get to play both songs. There was a cue card miscommunication. You can hear the whole story on the wonderful podcast The history of rock in 500 songs episode 30 Bo Diddley

    • @bonehead1170
      @bonehead1170 Рік тому +30

      I have read that it was a mistake and not an act of defiance by Bo Diddley. Bo supposedly agreed to play 16 Tons. The story is Bo read the set list, seen "Bo Diddley. 16 Tons" and because his name was also the name of his hit, thought that he was to perform the two songs back to back. The confusion was caused by the artist and song having the same name.

      @ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1 thanks. James Mahaffey, in his book “Atomic Accidents”, rates the Castle Bravo H-bomb test at Bikini Attoll on 1 March 1954 on of the least boring events in the generally not uninteresting history of nuclear weapons development. The scientists miscalculated the strength of the explosion by a factor of about 20. It was about 1000 times the power of Hiroshima. He rates the prevalent culture of reckless indifference to physical danger as one of the things that made the 1950s an interesting decade.

    First time I saw Bo was probably the late 50's, at one of Allan Freed's holiday spectaculars at the NY Paramount or The Roxy. He was the first guitarist I ever saw with a wall of amplifiers, stage left to stage right. Just him, the drummer and the guy on maracas. He lit the place up. There's never been and likely won't be another Bo Diddley.

      The drum was actually banned during slavery in the U.S. because it was used as a form of communication in a slave rebellion so black Americans had to readapt the drum. They (technically we but I wasn't born back then) were being influenced by music from Cuba which has a heavy african influence.

      @@canesvenatici4259 I know this one: Bo was told to do a cover of Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons", since Bo's rock and roll sound was considered unacceptable by the Sullivan show at the time. So once on stage and as the camera turned on, Bo went immediately into what we see here, much to the fury of Ed and the show's sponsors. Bo never did the Ed Sullivan show again, but like The Doors, he just needed to do it once.

    I met Bo in the mid 90's at Hard Rock Cafe, Stockholm. In the restaurant part. Chatted with him for more than an hour. We talked about everything but music. I had a hunch he just didn't feel talking about that part...or maybe I was wrong. My impression of him was that he was a very nice and humble person. A little later he rocked the socks offa the youngsters who were there. They probably had no clue who he was . I cherish this memory. RIP Mr McDaniel aka Bo Diddley.
