Bo Diddley never recorded the song, "Hand Jive." It was first recorded by Johnny Otis in 1958 then covered by numerous groups, including Eric Clapton in the mid-70s.
The "beat" called the Hand Jive is comprised of elements of the "Bo Diddley Beat," which is why there is sometimes confusion.
Bo Diddley died on June 2, 2008 at the age of 79.
he was discovered at a gas station...at the age of 15 he was to perform for L.A. Reid..a year later he was signed for Jive Record.
The Ink Spots recorded Java Jive in 1940 so it had to be before that.
