Bo Diddley

He was called the “Originator” and no other nickname could have been more accurate for Bo Diddley.  He was the key man in incorporating Blues to Rock and Roll and his guitar patterns influenced multiple artists that followed.  His signature song featured his own name and usually when an artist does that it seems arrogant.  It isn’t arrogant when you can back it up, and Bo Diddley backed up that swagger every time.
