Bo Diddley on Hollywood A Go Go

Here's a treat: Not one, but three performances by Mr. D on Hollywood A Go Go

[@billwilson-es5yn]

Bo Diddly was into electronics so started designing his own guitars and amplifiers.

[@martinleavitt6094]

Greetings.......Bo laying it down with his signature foot shuffle..... Dutchess swaying to the R@B flavor....wats not to like.....Bo Diddley forever!!🤟

The blonde girl behind Mr. D. is my mother Maria!

That is, without a doubt, the coolest looking woman playing guitar on stage I've ever seen.

The Dutchess

[@strictlynorton]

Norma-Jean Wofford. In 1966 she left the band, got married, and raised kids in Florida.

[@yernotthebossofme1062]

@TropicalLatitude Thank you for taking a moment to respond to my comment and share that bit of information about her life with me. I hope the family life suited her and fortune smiled upon them.

[@musicman4635]

No doubt about Bo Diddley! He knew how to have fun and sure 'got into' doin' his shuffle while he played!

[@petefitzsimons727]

I was due to see bo in frome somerset and he died ( tragic )

[@ANDYNORR]

Bo Diddley .....that B stands for Badasss......Him and Chuckleberry put rock and roll in orbit !!

[@joycerichardson1810]

[@2098elk]

Never seen this before. Wonder where all the dancers are now. Love Bo Diddly!

[@strictlynorton]

Footage of the Duchess and Bo... all is right with this world

[@wilmawofford5197]

The woman that's playing the guitar is my dad oldies sister

[@markuskummu4270]

Cool! Your aunt Norma Jean is now considered a rock'n'roll icon, a female pioneer in the music biz! In this clip, she outshines all the other girls with her looks, but most of all her carisma and attitude!

[@frankrubis]

She is such a star

I loved Hollywood A-Go-Go. Wish there more episodes preserved on film, either KZbin or dvd.

[@michaelmitchell5098]

Never seen this one before! Great.

[@d.w.591]

This is a very good clip of Bo Diddley live on "Hollywood A Go Go" back in 1965..I am a big fan of Bo Diddley's early 1960's music and my favorite one is from 1965 and he does it live on the "Hollywood A Go Go" on this clip and it's called "Let Me Pass" ! 😏

Bo Diddley is the shit

[@ralph5501]

swing and groove

[@Carlschwamberger1]

Skinny white girls with ironed hair. Another adolescent memory from the local dances.

[@markuspritsch7551]

He influenced Stones, Beatles, Zeppelin and more. They all said so. That's why I came here. Maybe this is the reason music now in 2021 seems like it's 'missing something'. Artists now aren't studying and learning their history. They are stuck in a producer machine and unable and even not allowed to create their own material.

[@aarondigby9859]

All the singers and musical entertainers are pigeon holed these days, no creativity, just really full. You get a couple that squeak pass because of some choreographed dance moves, scantily clad females but for the most part it's dead.

[@woolhatkatie]

I landed on this video after listening to Michael Nesmith's book "Infinite Tuesday." He talks about the rhythm between Bo and Pegyy's guitars and how inspiring it was to him! 💗💗

[@Phygment]

This is so true. Artists with a unique sound seem to miss mainstream or if they hit luck after first album they're pushed and molded for masses

[@goodun6081]

sadly, there aren't any amplifiers on stage and nobody is actually plugged in.

[@bobaldo2339]

It is all lip-sink, but done extremely well!

[@jcsolomon6470]

Hey That's Soo CooL!,nah!Take care!

[@aaafnraaaaafnraa7869]

i didn't know that that Bo Diddley played the "Giii-tärr". he did it well, though!

I always thought TOTP and Glasronbury presenters were crap, having seen this bloke I now know what crap really means.

[@asgaard636]

"Do the SHOTGUN now!!"

[@maxroyle6750]

Bo doing a not to good lip syncing job on a 1955 recording of 'Bo Diddley' 10 years later in 1965 and the 'California Girls' chest actions-a DELIGHT !!

[@gortbot7748]

A bunch of those dancers became members of the Manson Family.

How can Bo keep rhythm when you have all of those girls bobbing up and down out of Rhythm. . . . Just asking

[@philr5497]

It's air guitar

[@mpreiss7780]

They looked in rhythm to me.

[@damilitantone]

Now imagine back in the 60s seeing black artists and not a single black dancer. White folks may not have noticed, but we sure did. Oh yeah, it was by design.

[@danom3572]

Poison Ivy, duchess, peg....

[@panicandfreakout-]

what a groove, it's all lip synched but who cares :-)

[@hotrodtrucker88]

those white girls just can't dance to this hahahaha

[@jamessmith-ow1bf]

They were doing the dances that were popular in 1965.

[@rearly62]

+Roger Farmer I don't know which video you were watching, however, the go-go girls are perfectly in time, not everyone can move like the Duchess. Try not to let your prejudice show.

[@chiptmcc8656]

Oh sure they can.... Love it!

[@rockitMiC]

Roger Farmer agree!

[@rockitMiC]

james smith maybe… but badly!

[@w.llawrence86]

Too bad that these are all "lip-synch" clips.

[@leesweather9894]

Cracks me up that the overwhelming majority of the white girls were likely racist pigs. However, BO !!! What an amazing series of pieces !!!! Absolute rock dog !!! :)

[@TheGroovySideOftheTube]

you're wrong - the Gazzarri dancers on HAGG were down with it, they loved Bo, James Brown etc.
