Now let's hear the story of Bo Diddley And the rock 'n' roll scene in general Bo Diddley was born Ellis McDaniels In a place called McCoomMississipi about 1926 He moved to Chicago about 1938 Where his name was eventually changed To Bo DiddleyHe practiced the guitar everyday and sometimes into the night Till his papa's hair began to turn white His pa said, "Son, listen hear, I know You can stay but that guitar has just gotta go"So he pulled his hat down over his eyes Headed out for them western skies I think Bob Dylan said that He hit New York CityHe began to play at the Apollo in Harlem Good scene there, everybody raving One day, one night, came a Cadillac with four head lights Came a man with a big, long, fat, cigarSaid, "C'mere son, I'm gonna make you a star" Bo Diddley said, "Uh, what's in it for me?" Man said, "Shut your mouth son Play the guitar and you just wait and see"Well, that boy made it, he made it real big And so did the rest of the rock 'n' roll scene along with him And a white guy called Johnny Otis took Bo Diddleys rhythm He changed it into handjive and it went like thisIn a little old country town one day A little old country band began to play Add two guitars and a beat up saxophone When the drummer said, "Boy, those cats begin to roam"Oh, baby oh we oh oh Ooh, la la that rock 'n' roll Ya, hear me oh we oh oh Ooh, la la that rock 'n' rollThen in the U.S. music scene there was big changes made Due to circumstances beyond our control, such as payola The rock 'n' roll scene died after two years of solid rockAnd you got discs like ah "Take good care of my baby, Please don't ever make her blue", and so forthAbout, ah, one year later in a place called Liverpool in England Four young guys with mop haircuts began to sing stuff like, ah "It's been a hard days night and I've been workin' like a dog", and so onIn a place called Richmond in Surrey, way down in the deep south They got guys with long hair down their back singin' "I wanna be your lover baby, I wanna be your man yeah", and all that jazzNow we've doin' this number, Bo Diddley, for quite some time now Bo Diddley visited this country last year We were playin' at the club a Gogo in Newcastle, our home townAnd the doors opened one night and to our surprise Walked in the man himself, Bo Diddley Along with him was Jerome Green, his Maraca man And the Duchess, his gorgeous sisterAnd a we were doin', doin' this number Along with them came the Rolling Stones, the Mersey Beats They're all standin' around diggin' itAnd I overheard Bo Diddley talkin' He turned around to Jermone Green And he said, "Hey, Jerome What do you think these guys doin' our, our material?"Jerome said, "Uh, where's the bar man, please show me to the bar" He turned around the Duchess And he said, "Hey Duchess What do you think of these young guys doin' our material?"She said, "I don't know I only came across here to see The changin' of the guards and all that jazz" Well, Bo Diddley looked up at me and he saidWith half closed eyes and a smile He said, "Man, took off his glasses" He said, "Man, that sure is the biggest load of rubbish I ever heard in my life"Hey, Bo Diddley Oh, Bo Diddley Yeah, Bo Diddley Oh, Bo Diddley Yeah, Bo Diddley Oh, Bo Diddley
Это интересно:В начале 60-х в Ньюкасле существовала ритм-энд-блюзовая команда "Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo", в которой играли пианист Алан Прайс (р. 19 апреля 1942), барабанщик Джон Стил (р. 4 февраля 1941) и бас-гитарист Брайан "Чес" Чендлер (р.18 декабря 1938). В 1963 году к группе присоединились вокалист Эрик Бердон (р. 11 мая 1941) и гитарист Хилтон Валентайн (р. 22 мая 1943), и с приходом последнего коллектив сменил название... продолжение
