Rock n' roll would have taken a lot longer to evolve without Bo Diddley. During a 1963 club tour of the UK, the young Rolling Stones opened for him. A decade later, he returned the favor.

Agreed Jack. RNR wouldn't be the same. Not to mention Chicago-style and Delta Blues. He was one of the greatest guitar virtuoso's that ever picked up an ax and his influence is wider than he was ever given credit for.
