Who Do You Love? Songs That Rip off the Bo Diddley Beat

Bo Diddley (1928-2008), born Ellas Otha Bates (I'd have changed that name, too), was the rawest, funkiest, least respected and most influential of the rock-and-roll pioneers. Bo didn't invent the hambone-shuffle rhythm that he made famous, but by cranking it up and sticking it under blunt sexual boasts in songs like "Who Do You Love" and "I'm a Man," he created a sound so primal and disturbing that not even Buddy Holly could completely whitewash it ("Not Fade Away"). Although he was a very nice man, Bo made rock-and-roll sound dangerous, and most of the edgier artists in rock and roll either stole his beat (see below) or his braggadocio.
