Bo Diddley was famous for the hit songs he recorded for Chess Records beginning with "Bo Diddley" and "I'm a Man." But his sound was so unique, it required a new description: Rock and Roll! Bo is nicknamed "The Originator" for his role in the evolution of blues to rock. Bo Diddley was also famous for a particular beat, which is called "shave and a haircut." Better known as "The Bo Diddley Beat," it has been cited as the cornerstone of Rock and Roll and incorporated into songs by many famous artists from Buddy Holly to The Rolling Stones, George Thorogood to Chrissy Hynde. Bo Diddley is also famous for designing the electric "cigar box" square shaped guitar.
