H. Res. 1251 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
June 9, 2008. 
Whereas Bo Diddley, a founder of the rock and roll genre, 
helped to reshape the sound of popular music worldwide 
by melding blues, Southern gospel, rhythm and blues, 
and African American culture into a new genre that con-
tinues to influence popular music to this day; 
Whereas Bo Diddley was born as Otha Ellas Bates on De-
cember 30, 1928, in McComb, Mississippi, grew up on 
the South Side of Chicago, studied classical violin from 
the age of 7 through the age of 15, and, strongly influ-
enced by the music of John Lee Hooker, started playing 
the guitar at the age of 12; 
Whereas Otha Ellas Bates adopted ‘‘Bo Diddley’’ as his stage 
name while performing on the South Side of Chicago; 
Whereas Bo Diddley reshaped the sound of popular music, 
recording such tracks as ‘‘Bo Diddley’’ and ‘‘I’m A 
Man’’, both becoming number 1 hits; 
Whereas Bo Diddley’s career spanned several decades, 
spawning hits such as ‘‘Who Do You Love’’, ‘‘Mona’’, 
‘‘Crackin’ Up’’, ‘‘Say, Man’’, and ‘‘Road Runner’’; 
Whereas Bo Diddley and his famous ‘‘Bo Diddley beat’’ has 
influenced, and continues to influence, generations of mu-
sicians, from Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley to The Roll-
•HRES 1251 EH 
ing Stones, The Clash, Bruce Springsteen, The Smiths, 
U2, and The Beatles; 
Whereas Bo Diddley was a loving father to his 4 children and 
is survived by 15 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, 
and 3 great-great grandchildren; 
Whereas Bo Diddley, in his later years, toured with Joe 
Strummer and The Clash, as well as playing at the inau-
gurations of Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clin-
ton; 
Whereas Bo Diddley was inducted into the Rock and Roll 
Hall of Fame in 1987, won a Lifetime Achievement 
Grammy in 1998, and was inducted into the National 
Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame 
as a musician of lasting historical importance; and 
Whereas, with the death of Bo Diddley on June 2, 2008, at 
his home in Archer, Florida, the Nation has lost one of 
its most influential rock and roll and blues guitarists: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) honors the life and contributions of Bo Diddley; 
(2) recognizes and honors Bo Diddley for his in-
valuable contributions to American culture; 
(3) recommits itself to ensuring that musical artists 
such as Bo Diddley receive fair protection under the 
copyright laws for their contributions to American cul-
ture; and
