I was 14 in 1955 when Bo released "Bo Diddley" and the flip "I'm A Man". I grew up with his music and, yes, he was THE pioneer of rock and roll. I took a lot of flak from my parents and other adults who called his music "jungle music". Well, I've got news for all those skeptics - here it is 53 years later, Bo had gone to his eternal reward and his music lives on. Thank you, Bo for making my teenage years and my life a joy because you filled them with such memories, especially seeing you at the Alan Freed shows at the Brooklyn Fox and the Brooklyn Paramount. Rest in peace, my friend!!
