Bo Diddley

Bo Diddley's syncopated "hambone" beat — CHINK-a-CHINK-a-CHINK, a-CHINK-CHINK — is a cornerstone of rock & roll songs, from Diddley's own "Who Do You Love," "Mona," "Bo Diddley," and "I'm a Man" to the Who's "Magic Bus," Bruce Springsteen's "She's the One," the Pretenders' "Cuban Slide," the Strangelove's "I Want Candy" (later covered by Bow Wow Wow), and Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away."...
