That's very sad. Thanks for posting this.

I knew of Bo Diddley since I was about 14 years old. His music was very popular when I was growing up in Jacksonville. I didn't know until now, reading that story, that he was from my home town. Ray Charles was another local born star.

As teens, we would all go around singing, "Hey, Bo Diddley".

Now THAT was a true legend! Sad to see you go, even sadder to see you still didn't get your financial dues during your life. RIP Ellas McDaniel. The beat goes on!
