When Ellas McDaniel burst on the scene as Bo Diddley in 1955, he took the entire world by surprise. No one looked or sounded like that in the mid 1950s. Matt The Cat tells Bo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s story and plays some Diddley classics you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never heard before, such as the original \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Love Is Strange\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, which was written and originally recorded by Bo (a year before Mickey &#038; Sylvia would have a #1 hit with it). Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s remember Bo for what he was; a creator, a trailblazer and a man who wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t afraid to be himself and sound different.
