The Story Of Bo Diddley - The Animals[00:00:01]

Now let's hear the story of Bo Diddley[00:00:10]

And the rock 'n' roll scene in general[00:00:13]

Bo Diddley was born Ellis McDaniels[00:00:17]

In a place called McCoom[00:00:21]

Mississipi about 1926[00:00:23]

He moved to Chicago about 1938[00:00:27]

Where his name was eventually changed[00:00:31]

To Bo Diddley[00:00:35]

He practiced the guitar everyday and sometimes into the night[00:00:37]

Till his papa's hair began to turn white[00:00:45]

His pa said "Son listen hear I know[00:00:49]

You can stay but that guitar has just gotta go"[00:00:53]

So he pulled his hat down over his eyes[00:00:58]

Headed out for them western skies[00:01:02]

I think Bob Dylan said that[00:01:04]

He hit New York City[00:01:06]

He began to play at the Apollo in Harlem[00:01:10]

Good scene there everybody raving[00:01:13]

One day one night came a Cadillac with four head lights[00:01:17]

Came a man with a big long fat cigar[00:01:26]

Said "C'mere son I'm gonna make you a star"[00:01:28]

Bo Diddley said "Uh what's in it for me "[00:01:32]

Man said "Shut your mouth son[00:01:36]

Play the guitar and you just wait and see"[00:01:39]

Well that boy made it he made it real big[00:01:42]

And so did the rest of the rock 'n' roll scene along with him[00:01:46]

And a white guy called Johnny Otis took Bo Diddleys rhythm[00:01:50]

He changed it into handjive and it went like this[00:01:55]

In a little old country town one day[00:02:02]

A little old country band began to play[00:02:06]

Add two guitars and a beat up saxophone[00:02:09]

When the drummer said "Boy those cats begin to roam"[00:02:13]

Oh baby oh we oh oh[00:02:17]

Ooh la la that rock 'n' roll[00:02:21]

Ya hear me oh we oh oh[00:02:25]

Ooh la la that rock 'n' roll[00:02:29]

Then in the U S music scene there was big changes made[00:02:34]

Due to circumstances beyond our control such as payola[00:02:39]

The rock 'n' roll scene died after two years of solid rock[00:02:45]

And you got discs like ah[00:02:49]

"Take good care of my baby [00:02:53]

Please don't ever make her blue" and so forth[00:02:57]

About ah one year later in a place called Liverpool in England[00:03:03]

Four young guys with mop haircuts began to sing stuff like ah[00:03:09]

"It's been a hard days night and I've been workin' like a dog" and so on[00:03:16]

In a place called Richmond in Surrey way down in the deep south[00:03:26]

They got guys with long hair down their back singin'[00:03:32]

"I wanna be your lover baby I wanna be your man yeah" and all that jazz[00:03:35]

Now we've doin' this number Bo Diddley for quite some time now[00:03:43]

Bo Diddley visited this country last year[00:03:47]

We were playin' at the club a Gogo in Newcastle our home town[00:03:52]

And the doors opened one night and to our surprise[00:03:58]

Walked in the man himself Bo Diddley[00:04:02]

Along with him was Jerome Green his Maraca man[00:04:06]

And the Duchess his gorgeous sister[00:04:10]

And a we were doin' doin' this number[00:04:14]

Along with them came the Rolling Stones the Mersey Beats[00:04:18]

They're all standin' around diggin' it[00:04:22]

And I overheard Bo Diddley talkin'[00:04:24]

He turned around to Jermone Green[00:04:27]

And he said "Hey Jerome[00:04:28]

What do you think these guys doin' our our material "[00:04:32]

Jerome said "Uh where's the bar man please show me to the bar"[00:04:37]

He turned around the Duchess[00:04:43]

And he said "Hey Duchess[00:04:44]

What do you think of these young guys doin' our material "[00:04:46]

She said "I don't know[00:04:49]

I only came across here to see[00:04:52]

The changin' of the guards and all that jazz"[00:04:53]

Well Bo Diddley looked up at me and he said[00:04:56]

With half closed eyes and a smile[00:04:59]

He said "Man took off his glasses"[00:05:02]

He said "Man that sure is the biggest load of rubbish[00:05:07]

I ever heard in my life"[00:05:13]

Hey Bo Diddley[00:05:15]

Oh Bo Diddley[00:05:20]

Yeah Bo Diddley[00:05:23]

Oh Bo Diddley[00:05:27]

Yeah Bo Diddley[00:05:31]

Oh Bo Diddley[00:05:35]
