Cornelia Redmond (stage name Cookie V.) born 1948 died from cancer 7 March 1999 in Baltimore, MD, USA age 50 (survived by a husband, son and daughter, mother and 3 brothers and 4 sisters). Failing health forced her to retire from performing in 1986 and moved to Randallstown USA.
Cornelia Redmond-Chavez hardly gets a mention but what an asset to Bo's performance. I love watching her move about the stage - surely the best pair of legs in the business!
I saw Bo Diddley twice. Once in the early 80's. He was still moving like this. The next time was a year or two before he died. He had to sit for the entire show. But ... he was still great. I was overseas when this particular show happened. Now I have to sit for the entire show. Life goes on.
Met Bo at a supper club in ellington ct about 30 years ago, spent 30 minutes in the lounge with him before the show started. we had a table right next to the stage, sang word for word with Bo as he did his act. One of the great moments of my life Miss you Bo
This is not London 1968 as the video indicates. I recognized this as from Toronto - Varsity Stadium, Sept.13.1969 - "Toronto Rock and Roll Revival". You can find the actual colour footage here ... ruclips.net/video/TVE0wuh8BXw/видео.html
@@tenlittleindians Actually whoever put this together did it on purpose ... the added fake grainy lines, the B&W (the original is in color) and they Left/Right flip (to avoid to RUclips from sensing it's a copy) ... just to fool people into thinking this something different that the Toronto show.
He was the man. Met him once at the Avalon Ballroom (San Francisco, 1967) between sets. He approached me and my companion, to chat and borrow a comb. Cordial, friendly fellow. Someone I know lived in his neighborhood when growing up and used to go by his house. His wife and he were both friendly and welcoming. (Like others, he did not get what was coming to him from the recording label.)
You are forgetting John Lee Hooker. I was a Bo Diddley fan but Hooker was too cool to "Get Down" to the thumping beat Bo had. Different styles. But Hooker's "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom" is beyond cool and it was the basis for others.
@@larrytischler570 The originality and greatness of John Lee Hooker are beyond any question. I have a bunch of his records and saw him a few times in Berkeley and Oakland in the Sixties. I hadn't thought of him in terms of R & R but rather blues or R & B. His work was solid gold all the way through. (He lived in Oakland and then down the Peninsula, as I recall, in San Mateo County. He famously said that Oakland was like Detroit but without the snow.)
It knocks me out every time I see this gig. Two 16 year old girls who didn't know him before, during his performance in front of an adience 10 people in Bochum / Germany, shouted: "Wow, this guy is really cool!"
Saw a show back in the mid-sixties with Ike and Tina and Bo Diddley on the same bill and it was the sexiest rock and roll presentation of my entire life. Earlier, I was 10 when I heard Chuck Berry's 'Maybelline' and all kinds of juke box 45s that my Dad brought home from the juke box in his restaurant. Those were golden years in the 50's but Bo Diddley was a huge rock n roll sound that blew everybody's young mind! Never thought it would never return....and be replaced by whining ballads and Rap. Have fun and make hay kids!

Even tho it's the year 2019.. we still Celebrate the Dance.. you can still find this in our own little world in the westside Jackson Park area of Anderson Indiana.. still called Jackson Park..a very Magical place to live and Dance.. for you see I was born and raised there.. as well as all my mother's people.. I'm a 65 year old white man..who still has to get together with all my dear sweet friends and Dance.. black and White together.thats how it still is.. Thank God..you can find the Music Hopping all thru the hot summer nights were I come from.. Music from some of the greatest Blues Soul hip hop Music of all times.. can lay in bed all thru the night and listen to this Every lasing Music. Want to take a trip back in Time??? Come to Anderson Indiana's Westside..I'll meet you there. God bless Rock and Roll forever..
Whenever I see "the MAN" Bo Diddley... I see how much of an Influence he was on Elvis, Chuck Berry & Jimi Hendrix... the 1987 Version of "Who Do You Love" shows how much Bo was Ahead of his Time... Even though he is 1 of the Greatest Founders of Rock & Roll... he is Also 1 of Rock's Most Unique Innovators... I Can't Think of ANYTHING That Has EVER Been Used MORE Than The Legendary Bo Diddley Riff!!!
My sister was married in Bo's home in Chicago. My brother and I checked the place out. The upstairs shower had seven shower heads so Bo could just stand there and get sprayed in all directions. He could really get his beat going till the place's he played vibrated. A great talent.
Yeah Bo Diddley! The great man sadly died a few weeks before I was going to see him at Camden Town’s Jazz Cafe, so I never got to see him ‘live’, but did visit his grave in Bronson Cemetery FL while on a road trip last year. Looking around the place I’m like OK, now where the heck is Bo’s grave? Initially unable to locate it, I walked back to the car which was parked on the street just by the graveyard & looked up at this grassy mound to see a massive tombstone with a red rectangular guitar etched into it. As befits Bo, he has the best spot in the graveyard, shaded by a beautiful tree, and he’s got THE biggest tombstone I’ve ever seen! Yeah, Bo Diddley!
Everybody loves the music, but the dancing is equal in this clip. Bo trained to be a boxer, thank God he gave that up! You could balance a cup of tea on his beautiful head while he's dancing at 60 mph here! Lol! Amazing!
I would hope that somewhere in this commentary someone might have mentioned that whoever edited this clip would've noticed that it's been reversed, for Bo was right handed and played, conventionally, a right handed guitar. Here he, and his bass player, is shown playing a right handed guitar but looks to be be playing, like Paul McCartney - a lefty - left handed. Look to the other Bo vid's here on You Tube, should you doubt my veracity. I saw Bo in 1964, and apart from the Duchess he had the most distinguished drummer in Jazz and R&R, the mighty Fred Below (who had created the template for this genre that most all drummers since follow) accompanying him, for that little UK tour. There were, at most, about 30 to 40 people in the audience. It was great. The following week, the same place hosted the Beatles, and was impossible to get in the doors.
Does anyone have this whole set on film, this is a classic. the Camera editing indicates that this is a wonderful slice of a a bigger cinematic work and Bo's still devoted fans need to see this whole set This is some of the best live Bo I've ever seen.
@@whorlicks Yep. Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis also played on of the festival. John and Yoko debuted the Plastic Ono Band (Klaus Voorman, Alan White, Eric Clapton). And Alice Cooper threw a chicken into the crowd thinking "It was wings. It can fly" ... the outcome became legendary.
It's cool to see people rocking out to this. People look at me like a weirdo when I play it on jukebox, just to show that most people are trendy. Whatever that is in style, people do!
Bo "By Damn" Diddley, the ORIGINATOR, imitated, duplicated, by mere mortals not ever able to aspire to equal, let alone exceed him. We will never see the likes of Bo again.
WTF Marrowbones? Name one person who has "played Bo Diddley's numbers with more depth of sound spectrum? You mean, "scientifically-speaking" of ROCK AND ROLL, the "depth" afforded a musician who lived through segregation and performed at the White House several times for several presidents can be eclipsed by some musician that does not move on the stage and/or plays 3x fewer upstrokes than Diddley and also plays through a Fender Twin Reverb on a six-stringed guitar? What musicians have done Bo's songs better than Bo? Hear the crickets? We're waiting for your asinine opinion. You wouldn't know Diddley if he smacked you with a Jupiter Thunderbird! LOL.
Nobody has ever even come close to playing Bo's tunes the way Bo played them back in the days when he cared enough to play whole distinct songs at his gigs. If you listen to his great single hits from the 50's you will see that his rhythmic patterns were different and distinct on nearly every record. From "Bo Diddley" to "Pretty Thing", to "Who Do You Love" to the real "Hey Bo Diddley" etc., etc., you will find distinctly different patterns - most of which have never, and I mean never been mastered by any other recording guitar player. All people ever do is imitate the rhythmic pattern on his very first single, and that is as far as they go.
@Marrowbones dude you don't even know what "many others have played his numbers cleaner and with more depth of sound spectrum" means. It is just some stupid shit you made up. You are a fool.
Saw him when I was 16 in a tent at Cambridge Folk Festival. Just him, drummer, bass player and maraca player. Amazing. I'd love to see footage of him around then but can't find any
I know your post here goes way back..but I just found it..and watched it over 100 times..sent it to family and friends...and still feel their power each time I watch it. Thank you so so much for this..i only wish I were there.
I first saw him perform on a tv retrospective in the late 50s; I was really too young when he was performing this way, but he was magic, even to a 12 year old: he invented this stuff from the top down...
lakemaniac not with bo around, he didn't play that game his sister gave him his first axe he had a tough paper route growing up and was a boxer so them ladies were left unmolested! A true gentleman till the end haaaay bo diddly!

This Concert took place in the hood I grew up in.. Westside Jackson Park and Belmont.. Both black and white Kids were there..Br Bo always knew where to come when he was in Anderson Indiana.. love and miss you..RIP..I WAS RIGHT DOWN FRONT..
For some reason, this video recording is shown backwards 😂. Bo is a right handed player and this old video shows him playing left-handed. No big deal, but I thighs sometime was off when I began to watch it. The second guitar player is also right handed. Thanks for sharing this oldie!

Yes indeed, we sure miss Bo Diddley. Wish he were still around, even if no longer performing. Same goes for Fats Domino.

Wow. What a fricking thrill that must have been! I bet it was just deafening, too, in a good way. LoL.
I cried a flood when he died. Always will be my hero. Raised on his music.
Want a stage show he had! Tremendous influence upon Rock & Roll. A true giant of a musician and artist. NEVER to be forgotten.
Man the 60’s were awesome.
Besides Bo's riffs, I just dig that he was such an innovator. Made his own guitars, amps and sounds This is great drive fast tune-age
I believe he had gretch make a square bodied guitar for identification purposes as he had one stolen before he got the square body..
Nous avions le 45 tours à la maison, au tout début des années 70. Merci pour ce moment de douce nostalgie. ❤🎶🥂
I wish that the entire performance was on the tube.
Bo Diddley raw and wild!
Me too. Bo wild and raw as ever

after 40 something years i still get the chills hearing him
I vote Bo: coolest rock star ever. He just had that aura of power and control about him.

I knew him in the 70’s and 80’s in New Mexico, a very nice dude, a deputy sheriff when not on the road, gave local free concerts

they never seen him in person I suppose
Probably a bunch clash fans.
Because the film is reversed!
Saw him twice in Houston' Texas.
He was playing it RIGHT-handed when I saw him. Sure didn't realize Bo was ambidextrous. 😂🤣🎸🎵
This footage is flipped! He was right-handed. Here's the correct footage in color ruclips.net/video/TVE0wuh8BXw/видео.html
so good, Boo Didley is fantastic
they're having a party on stage all to themselves - forget that huge crowd out there!
some people just got the rhythm in them... Bo was one.
Jeeze!...and whaddaCrowd!!! Huge crowds back then.
Damn good music. The girls he always has in his band have good rythm too. Love watching them dance.
