Acclaimed as the father of rock and roll, Bo Diddley (Ellas Bates McDaniel) was born near Magnolia, south of McComb, on December 30, 1928. Diddley wrote and recorded such hits as "I'm A Man", "Bo Diddley', "Say Man" and "I'm a Roadrunner". The distinctive rhythm of his "Bo Diddley" beat and his pioneering use of electronic distortion were widely influential. His song have been covered by Buddy Holly, the Rolling Stones, The Who and Eric Clapton among many others.
