Bo Diddley's 76th Birthday Bash
16th November 2004
One of the undisputed legends of rock & roll and a true original, BO DIDDLEY
will be celebrating his 76th birthday live on-stage at Berbati's Pan on
Thursday December 30th 2004.
The previous evening, Wednesday December 29th 2004, BO DIDDLEY will be
performing live at The Showbox, 1426 First Avenue in Seattle, WA.
If you can't make it to the above shows, you can still send BO DIDDLEY your
special 76th birthday greetings and messages by signing the
BO DIDDLEY-The Originator website's Guestbook
. The promise is that you can rest assured that BO DIDDLEY will get
to see each and every one of your messages.
The winter of 2004-2005 marks the 50th anniversary of BO DIDDLEY recording a
demo of his songs "I'm A Man" and "Uncle John". In late February 1955 he
entered the Chess Record Corporation offices at 4750-2 South Cottage Grove
Avenue in Chicago, IL with his demo recording and on Wednesday March 2nd 1955
he made his debut recordings, taping the songs "Bo Diddley", "I'm A Man",
"Little Girl" and "You Don't Love Me (You Don't Care)" at the Universal
Recording Studio in Chicago, IL. Late March 2005 marks the 50th anniversary of
Checker Records releasing his debut single "Bo Diddley"/"I'm A Man" (Checker
814) and Wednesday May 4th 2005 will mark the 50th anniversary of his single
entering the Billboard Rhythm & Blues Singles Chart, reaching No. 2, spending a
total of 15 weeks on the Chart and exceeding one million copies in initial
sales.
This is a unique opportunity for you to convey your appreciation and best
wishes to one of the founding fathers of rock & roll and the popularizer of the
world-famous BO DIDDLEY beat on the occasion of his 76th birthday and the 50th
anniversary of the most famous beat in the world. Please visit the
BO DIDDLEY-The Originator authorized website
