Rock pioneer Bo Diddley suffers heart attack

Ailing rock 'n' roll pioneer Bo Diddley suffered a heart attack while undergoing a medical check-up, and is in stable condition in a Florida hospital, his spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

The 78-year-old musician, whose distinctive rhythms and guitar style influenced rockers from Buddy Holly to the Rolling Stones and U2, felt unwell during a check-up last Friday at North Florida Regional Medical Center in Gainesville, Fla.
He was transferred to the emergency room where he suffered the heart attack, spokeswoman Susan Clary said in a statement.

He underwent surgery so that a stent could be fitted to help blood flow to his heart. He was moved from intensive care to cardiac care on Tuesday morning, Clary said.

Diddley, whose real name is Ellas Bates, suffered a stroke in May.
It left no physical disability, but it impaired his speech and speech recognition, his manager said at the time.
In recent years he also lost some toes to diabetes.

Diddley helped lay the foundation for rock 'n' roll in the mid-1950s
when he developed a syncopated "hambone" beat -- known as the "Bo Diddley" beat -- that was aped by Holly on "Not Fade Away," the Who on "Magic Bus," George Michael on "Faith" and U2 on "Desire."

He topped the charts in 1955 with the song "Bo Diddley" and went on to enjoy such hits as "Mona" (covered by the Rolling Stones), "Who Do You Love," and "I'm A Man."

He also cut an imposing figure on stage, sporting a pair of thick spectacles and playing a rectangular guitar.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, alongside bluesman Muddy Waters, and soul icons Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye.

But he never received the same sort of mainstream recognition as his peers, and frequently complained that he never received a royalty check.

Bo Diddley is in stable condition today

Bo Diddley was in stable condition at a Florida hospital after suffering a heart attack, his publicist said Tuesday.
The 78-year-old singer-guitarist complained of dizziness and nausea during a routine medical checkup Friday, said publicist Susan Clary.

She said Diddley suffered a heart attack after being taken to North Florida Regional Medical Center in Gainesville.
The hospital is near his hometown of Archer.

Clary said the musician was in stable condition at the hospital's cardiac care unit after spending the weekend in intensive care.

"He is conscious," she said. "The situation is very serious."

In May, Diddley was hospitalized in Nebraska after suffering a stroke after casino performances in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He was soon transferred to Florida.

Diddley, with his black glasses and low-slung guitar, has been an icon in the music industry since he topped the R&B charts with "Bo Diddley" in 1955. His other hits include "Who Do You Love," "Before You Accuse Me," "Mona" and "I'm a Man."

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and received a lifetime achievement Grammy Award in 1998

Bo Diddley

Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.

Ellas Otha Bates McDaniel plus connu sous le nom de Bo Diddley est un bluesman noir, guitariste, chanteur et compositeur américain, né à McComb (Mississippi) le 30 décembre 1928.

Son pseudonyme lui vient du nom donné à un instrument rudimentaire, constitué d'un morceau de fil de fer accroché à un mur sur lequel on faisait glisser un goulot de bouteille selon la technique du bottleneck, et qui remplaçait la guitare chez les apprentis musiciens noirs des débuts du blues.

Cet instrument, le diddle ou diddley est avec le jug (bouteille servant de basse dans laquelle on soufflait) à la base de l'invention des musiques afro-américaines.

Bo débuta comme violoniste et passa à la guitare notamment sous l'influence de Louis Jordan, quand se faisaient ressentir les premiers soubresauts de ce qui n'était encore que le Rhythm and Blues et pas encore le rock'n'roll dont Diddley, avec Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard et Fats Domino, sera un des pionniers.

Avec ses deux premiers singles "Bo Diddley" et "I'm a man"en 1955, il invente un rythme qui sera abondamment repris dans le monde du blues et du rock. On le nomme "jungle beat" ou "diddley beat".

Il influençera plusieurs groupes des sixties : Rolling Stones, The Pretty Things, The Animals, The Shadows of knight, Kinks, Thirteenth floor elevators, et le rock'n'roll en général.

La décennie suivante est moins prolifique, sa créativité décline et il se contente de remanier ses vieux titres. Ses schémas rythmiques compliqués, hypnotiques parfois, l’ont élevé cependant au rang de maître du genre.*

Le dictionnaire du Rock, aux éditions Larousse

Inventeur de la guitare rectangulaire, cet iconoclaste reste une légende du rock and roll.

Il faut savoir que Bo Diddley souffre de diabète et qu'il s'était déjà fait amputé de doigts de pieds ! affraid

Et lors d'un contrôle médical il a été pris de vertige, nausées et a fait un malaise cardiaque !
Mais heureuse d'apprendre qu'à ce jour il va mieux ! Wink
